Trails are good enough in that area to sustain those speeds? In the north east kingdom you can because of riding the big power lines, pipe line and logging roads.

andy she is being held "under" with anesthesia, she is on a respirator, and has a lot of fluids and antibiotics running through several IV's. docs say we wont see any improvement sooner than 72 hours, we are at 24 now. she isnt doing better per say but as i said to josiah earlier, she is in the right place and is being monitored. hurry up and wait!

as for the cold, i was FREEZING all day. it never really warmed up.

Yes on the corridor trails they are dirt roads so big two lane highways can do about 80mph on some before it gets real sketchy. Usually around 50-60. Yes there are speed limits lol I think its 35mph...

Just got back from a short ride into town, got to play in some nice fields with all that snow we got. Was up over the hood it was awesome

Andy,
I'm showing 8-10* but I think my proximity to the water moderates the cold somewhat.

Bundle up!

It is a cold one with some more snow on the way.
