I don't think that will be an issue right now!!

I think mine is still firing on all three at the moment!

I'm headed up to the "Hill" with my tour guide, host, and Yoda this weekend. We'll post some pictures! Ya ready to teach me Bird?

Dave

Hey dave if your headed up to the hill can you sign your boat over to me first.For gods sake be careful up there.theres alot of idiots from other states that arnt happy unless there drunk and proving it.
Hey Pete,as a matter of fact one of them is a fountain,unfortunately it is the slower of the two and the smaller of the two.

the Hill on a weekend is not a place for newbs!

especially early in the season when nobody has their riding skills back on (many never had them in the first place) or sled set-up...
they'll be all over the trail unable to hold a line.

NONE of us locals will go up there on a weekend (and haven't in many years) other than to occasionally skirt around on trails not known to the tourists to get to the other side or destination.

Stay WAAAY right brotha' and expect an idiot head on to you around every curve and over every blind rise.
You have to ride VERY defensively on a weekend

If you can manage to get away Monday thru Thursday Dave it's really enjoyable, smooth, without the traffic and the fear factor.
We ride every week.

I used to ride years ago, and I think the almost 400 mile I rode out West was a Real Good refresher course. I'm not going there to set the world on fire. I'm sure Bird will keep me in line!

As far as the during the week, I would be interested in that real soon! I'll let you know.

Dave

PS: Ragged, don't let Heater fool ya....He's up to NO GOOD!

I'm sure you're in good hands. Have heard Bird speak of riding there for years, seems like he's still in one piece, must be he knows something others don't.

Far as Doug, in my mind there's no such thing as NO GOOD. Can't wait to hear what he's up to now. Never did get the ride he promised me in the last race boat, maybe it's a new and faster one! That would be cool!

don't get your innuendo keyboard balls on just yet old sage...

funny coming from somebody who knows NOTHING of the subject at hand (uhh, that would be YOU)
There's little about the Hill I don't know as it is RIGHT HERE in my front yard (OK, I'm 20 mins from Barnes Corners),
I've missed just three of the last 25 years riding it...
and for a couple years now working weekends right here ER-ing it, that is the ones who don't get life-flighted to Upstate...

Just being protective and encouraging Dave to be very wary of the other guy, as on the weekends a solid 30% are diaper-bagging snowcross wannabe idiots riding out of control at warp speed...
ESPECIALLY early in the riding season
rusty skills
new sleds without good setup in them yet (do you even know what that means?)
THEN add in the ones stupid enough to drink and ride...

you, on the other hand, I'd like to park right in the middle of the trail (say Flat Rock road) at 4 pm on Saturday...
you'd be crying like a little girl for the security of your keyboard and bottle...

This weekend may not be the worst of it... as typically Christmas and New Year's weekend are a little down because of peoples other commitments
This ain't the mountains and it ain't Canada. The first time your tooling along on a trail 3-sleds wide bordered by trees and somebody's coming at you at 75-80 on your side of the trail, or you meet someone at high speed coming out on your side in a curve
you'll get the effect!

There IS a reason those who DO KNOW some things, have seen the "action" in person and the results, avoid it on the weekends.

No problem wise one, I enjoyed explaining it to you.

and 'Bird, Winona Forest is in good shape take him there and around the Boylston loop. Very scenic and a fraction of the crazies.

I'd say thanks for the diatribe here if I had a sled, if I was perhaps headed to the area to ride, or if I even gave a chit about your self-proclaimed expert opinion. In that none of the above apply, why the chit are you directing this at me? Bad day down on the ranch?

FYI ... I do agree with your take on the bar hoppers, was not my style back when I did ride, never felt the two mixed very well.

yes pete it is newer and definately faster,should be seeing triple digits.dont want to post any pics until I have it in my posession.As far as the fountain I think you'll get a real kick out of that.
