My sled update

I figured I would update all of you with the status of my sledding this year with some simple facts.

12 Trips
502 Miles

Issues:
Assume to be the dreaded bent sub frame (had after 3 ride, no recall of big hits to cause this)
Maverick track is really folded over, missing 1 lug, tore down pretty bad
Previous trip finally had the belly ban pop off from freezing snow that others have seen.
Typical oil spilling out when tipped over, but I've put a screen on the vent line to slow it, we'll see how that holds up.

Looking forward to the May trip, maybe another 150 miles I can get out of her those 2 days, we'll see.

Spring Time Riding

Spring time riding is typically over this time of year. Usually most of the snow has melted except in the highest of elevations. But the key point about enjoyable spring riding is usually the nice weather.

Its warm and sunny, with little snow showers and amazing time to take pictures. Might not have the best snow conditions, but even old snow can soften with some sun, but always a great time. Make that an exceptions this year.

All my riding this month of April has been like riding in mid January. Cold, overcast, and snowing. And more snowing. I think this years season could be one of the longest in a great while. In fact, not only this year did I make my first ever APRIL ride, but I will attempt and probably succeed with my first ever MAY ride.

So I'll be up in Cooke City, Montana, the weekend of May 2-4. Driving up from Billings Friday night to sled all day Saturday and Sunday. I'm looking forward to it.

Yellowstone Expo continued

Apologizes for not posting this up sooner. No excuses.

The expo continues to be a great place to shop for accessories and apparel. Both for yourself and your sled. Even though the expo in size is relatively small, there were still some fantastic items to be seen. I'd like to highlight a couple.

First and foremost, Tobe Technology. They are a clothing company based in Sweden. All the stuff, jacekts, pants, etc... at all made there too. High quality and fantastic looking. I highly recommend their stuff to anyone. I bought a jacket at the show and now have pants as well. Well above my previous Castle X stuff.

Tobe Technology is an exciting new and fresh line. They have the quality of Klim but a completely different look, which I dig. I'm a Yamaha rider, currently, but by no means am I brand specific, and thus I don't want to be color specific either with my clothing. Tobe allowed me to do this, without comprising style.

I'd also like to give a shotout to Rexburg Motorsports in Idaho. They were at the show and their sales staff there was fantastic to work with and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Stayed tuned today as well, I feel a multi-day post coming on. Making up for lost time.
