I'm in for a forum ride.
Someone should carve out a solid date and place for our calenders. Take me to your leader. Just name the time and the place and I'll try to go. Have met some cool people from the forum, and sure would like to network with more riders. Two forum rides would be great also, so the slope rs don't miss out. One ride for the southern folk around Anchorage and Kenai, and another for the northern folks around Anchorage and Fairbanks. Valdez area sounds real good also... heck, I think it would be a real treat for a lot of people.....I never have rode the Thompson Pass-Valdez area, here it's awesome. The link below says that there has been a total snowfall of 54" above 4000' (as of 10/26).

Just another thought, maybe a small forum ride for the kids. I think it would be a good memory maker for them.....What do you guys think?
Wahoooo...winter is here!!!!

I think a forum ride would be a great idea. Give us newcomers to Alaska a chance to meet some fellow sledheads and get to know the riding areas.

I would be game for petersville t-day weekend. I think petersville is a safe bet for a rock free ride. .02
If we want to pick a few different area to have these rides this year and your not sure what might work go to my post "Directions to favorite Alaska riding areas" and look up the areas we are talking about. Some people mentioned the Willow side of Hatcher Pass for example. Scroll down to "Parks Highway riding areas" then down until you see Willow side of Hatchers Pass: Black Mountain Inn: AKA the Last Chance Coffee house, mile 71, trn right, go 16 miles on Willow Fishhook. 907-232-8643 http://www.blackmtninn.com/ or Email blackmountaininn@hotmail.com 4 wheeling, berry picking. http://www.dnr.state.ak.us/parks/asp/hpsnowreport.pdf
I called them today, and they said there lodge is open & would welcome us going there sometime this year. If we set it up, he will groom the trail to the powder & hills. (good mix of riding for everyone).
I am open to where we go, but we need to consider a place that can lodge people coming from Fairbanks, Kenai etc...

I'm in, my wife can't wait to ride as well.

I didn't even think of that... but your right.
And i'm down for forum rides... nvr made it to one but they look/sound fun. I am in.
It would be great to come up with 3-4 rides throughout the season. The only problem i see with that is weather. I personally follow the snow as long as the weather isn't whiteout, I think i speak for many people in that aspect. Maybe someone could come up with 3-4 different scheduled rides with a primary ride spot - and also a secondary, both being located semi close so people who have to travel can plan their trip accordingly and still conveniently ride regardless of primary/secondary location(ex. petersville/hatchers)!?
1. Set dates (late nov, jan, march, late spring ride?)
2. Ride location/backup
3. What flavor beer is the best(or soda for our underage)
4. Who is most likely to break a chaincase
5. Who is most likely to carry the most extra parts
I wonder if we came up with dates if an admin or someone else could set up a vote for locations? I could set one up for people using outlook as their email application.... ? Just an idea.

i was thinking a weekend.
S
I'm in.. I have never been anywhere else. other than Hatchers back in 97.
A lodge thing would be nice for the people who travel. I guess I could spoon with DangerDoug??? Unless he brings his wife.
Valdez has lodging in town. I am not sure about up at 40 mile they are usually packed with heli-skiers. I could snoop around.
They have great food, and BEER.

for the t-day weekend ride, personally I think it should be Willow Crashers or Petersville, since it will be an early ride.. BUT, that is just me talking, thats just me..
then the next rides have them where ever ...
