What type of trails have you run and comparing it to?

and I've got a cable on mine if one of us get stuck, should be fun in the snow.

I guess i'm comparing it to what I have done. I've never been to rausch creek or anything. But I've done 21miles of powerlines, a ride with the HV4W through a foot or more of snow, and some other trails here and there. I've got a winch as well, so we should be good.

Great. They are welcome to come. I try to ask as many people as I can since there are usually a few drop outs

I wish I could say yes, but this one's gonna need a little more. Keep watching cuz I have a few more places in mind and you would do just fine.

Trail ride is still on for monday. If you can come please do, I'm looking forward to it

How about the interection of rt 212 and rt 375 in Woodstock. You'll see a red barn straight across from where 212 meets 375. And how does 10am sound?

Agreed! And we will definitely try the first trail again when most of the snow and ice melts.

Videos are from the last trail we did. We were too busy winching the whole time to take any on the first trail..
