Early Season Riding

There are many things to consider when your enthusiasm drives you to go out and ride as early as possible. You just can't stand to see that brand new sled sit on the trailer any longer. Your neighbours have even seen you rev up and run the sled back and forth on your New Jersey lawn.

Here is a list of things to be aware of.

1. Gas stations are often not operational in the isolated relays. You could end up running short of fuel.

2. Seasonal restaurant and bars are often closed.

3. Some say that insurance on the trails doesn't get enforced till DEC 15th. (I really have no idea.)

4. Small repair shops that fix snowmobiles should be open all year, because they also do quads.

5. You may run into mud, branches, and rocks that pop up, they may not yet be frozen solid into the base.

6. If you hit a rock at 30 miles per hour, you can wreck your sled and get hurt. Many run their sleds at 60 mph, and do not realize their speeds due to the excitement, and the power of a new sled.

7. All waterways can be treacherous. Our Lake Taurau for example, is a giant fresh water reservoir, that is emptied bit by bit from underneath. This creates different layers of ice. If you go into the ice, it can be your final act.

8. You may run across other vehicles on the trails, such as atvs, horses, or motorcycles.

9. Emergency people are not prepared so early, and you may have trouble getting speedy medical evac.

 

Just some comments off the top of my head, be careful. Be prudent. Be sober. Be smart. Your family is waiting for you to come home Sunday night.
