I need ot stiffen mine up. Just havent had the gumption yet to mess with it. We went on a 85 mile ride up on the glaciers. A lot of Ice Fog down low but man was it nice up high. No tracks for 10 miles. I took some guy for out of town. Rode up to the pass were you over look this one glacier. 1 mile wide and 10 miles long. They thought it was a valley covered in clouds. Nope I told them that was all virgin snow. Dropped down, placed throttle to handle bar and go. You look down and your doing 80+ but it feels like you are barley moving due to the vastness and flatness. Overall a good day.

Nice photos but what are those tall things with green on it (Trees). HA

There's lots of trees in the areas I go to. However, there are some open spaces too.....meadows anyways. You guys deffinately have the big and wide open spaces up there though. But, if you are into hill climbing, you can deffinately do that here, you just have to dodge the trees. Some areas are thicker than others, just depends where you go.

Did you go riding this weekend MLB? I've seen your posts (I assume they are you) on SnoWest. Much too cold in Fairbanks the past couple of weeks to ride. Last ride I took was down at Summit the day after Christmas.

Yep that be me. Did some riding last weekend around town. It 900am and we are going in an hour. Mostly in the Valdez Bowl area, hogsback and may be up Valdez Glacier. I want to work on getting maps for those locations done. As I type I am looking out the window and watching the trees move around. Might be a little windy today. Wont know until I get out on the trails. Been spending more time on snowest than here. Enjoy my wintertime activities.
