Ride a ton this year, got a job and therefore more money and less time to ride. Gonna go further to the west in my local area, do some(tons) boondocking (loads of lake effect). Get a school ride together. Drag my paintball teamates out riding. Go to sled park this year, can't remember the name. Get a bunch of pictures and video. I'm sure there are a handful of things more that I want to do this year that I can't think of right now.

I plan to make a few trips out west and test out the new sled.
Hopfuly not watch it roll down a mountain would be good.
Maybe a trip to the black hills with the old man he loves that place.
I also plan to hit the winter games in okoboji if there is snow.
My friends got a place on the lake said if he is free we can make a weekend of it.
Its always a good time up there.
when in doubt throttle it out

Going to ride as much as possible. I can leave my driveway and ride all the way to work, then go for a nice ride afterwords. Possibly go for another long ride or two. Maybe a couple of group rides (18+ people). I'm hoping to hit 2000+ miles this season.

I plan on doing this 100 mile trail system around my house in 2 hours. Go to Park falls and im working on a Weekend trip Starting at Freedome Wisconsin and Going all the way up to Marquete Michigan in a day. I would prob have to leave at 3 in the morn to make it but man that would be fun if i know my machine can do it.

I'm hoping that we'll get more chances to get out and ride this winter. Will be the first winter in a long time that we haven't had to chase the kid around to all of the hockey games and stuff, so we SHOULD have more free weekends.
Bummer is, my enclosed trailer is currently being used to hold a bunch of stuff that we had to move out of the house, due to some renovations (that went poorly, but a story for a different time). So it's possible that most of our riding will have to take place closer to home. Unlikely that we'll get the use of the trailer back much this winter. Might be easier to just buy another one altogether, LOL!
Hoping for some good snow locally at least. We have't been too lucky in that regard for a few years. Guess we'll see. . . .

Group of us will hopefully be going up to the Cable, Wis area for a week of riding, and riding with my 13 yr old son and his new 99 xc 500 here in SE Minnesota. Trail is just down the block and goes right by work, so hope to ride to work often.

Ride as much as I can at Evo sledpark, try some sno cross and xc, go to the UP for a couple of rides with my buddies, go up to ely for a couple weekends, go to the sf ride in ely, days of wonder, hill climbs in duluth, ride to school most days, do 2 up on the ramp in my yard, do some waterskipping with the boys on the rivers around town, and were probably going to go out to colorado for some spring riding.
Owning a race sled is like having a totally hot girlfriend..... All of your friends want to see it, feel it and check it out..... They all want to know what it is like to ride it, but if they only knew how much time and money it takes to keep one up, they would call you a fool!

I would go this route. Talk to your Athletic director at your school and see if he will approve a snowmobile club. If you do get this together than get the club full of kids from your school. Plan short rides at first at a place that is very accesible for everybody to get to. then probably not this year but next year get like a long ride starting at your area maybe going someplace 50 miles away or do an overnighter and have somebody drive a car with a trailor so you can just have them pick you up if your sled breaks down.
