And now I'm off this morning to help my club finish a bridge rebuilt just south of the Tug.
And next week off to pick up two of my bikes. My '42 in central Ohio and my 2010 over at Hillside Cycle in Munnsville, NY.
And I can just about guarantee it will be snowing both days.....

You'd hate Tug Hill now. We call it Thug Hill. Way too much traffic for my tastes. And everybody going full throttle. On weekends it's like snowmobiling through Times Square during rush hour.

That sounds like a great motorcycle week in late fall

I love snowmobiling more than bikes. It's more of a work out and there's nothing else like it. I couldn't get threw winters with out it. The thing that sucks about it for me is I have to trailer a hundred miles or more to do it. The cost adds up quick. The bike is easy anytime riding , rode last weekend but looks like all will be parked this Thanksgiving. I have rode the bike and sled in the same week. I like it when I can go from one to the other with in a week.
Winters ain't what they used to be but maybe this winter will be a good one for not having all the melt downs in-between

It was called snowmachine season when I lived in Alaska. I don't think I will ever change. I loved it for quite a few years, but got burnt out on getting stranded, diggin them out, and all the rest of it. I decided to work hard all winter, and save my play time for summer. Up there, it was the best!

Big No on "Sledding" for me.
First, not enough snow, second, the snow is so dry you would drop straight to the hard ground, when we do have snow, third, just not interested. Tried it once and was not impressed. Being a dirt bike guy, I thought I would like it - No.
I will ride the ATV or SxS around a little just for the hell of it. Nice days, I just take the bike out.
There are sled people here, but most go to WY & MT for the good sledding. Sometimes our Deadwood and Lead area gets a pretty good amount of snow, so people give it a go.

There are trials all through that area - BUT, it is very iffy on snow conditions, and rather we / they even get enough to sled. They are ATV trails that then become sled trails if there is snow.
Over in the Big Horns by Sheridan, WY, there are similar trials, but more snow. Cool little town of Sheridan right at the base of the BH's too. Kind of like a really little version of Denver CO.

A bunch of us rode sleds for many years, so many trips up to tug hill and old forge because we just don't get enough snow around here anymore to ride. We all got rid of the sleds and got Harleys! A lot of fun memories and it used to give us something to look forward to heading into winter.
