Mcbride Delivers Again

Monday. Horsey Creek great conditions. Great ride with Mac Cochrane

Tuesday. Renshaw. Really nice snow, nice mixed sun and cloud day. A little trouble cut the day short but wicked spring ride.

Wednesday. Renshaw Again. Wicked conditions fee more sleds up but the snow was coming down great. The next sunny day is going to be fantastic. Trail was getting beat up bu HotRod was getting ready to groom as soon as the temps dip down. Thanks to Glen and Leona one keeps the sleds running the other keeps the riders fueled up. Service above and beyond.

There was lots of soft stuff. Some hills were deceving because they had alot more soft snow than i expected, and play around in the trees and some area's got deep. We went way back did a grand tour thanks to BBTOYS for the tour yesterday and had a blast. Look forward to doin it again.

I really hope they are grooming again. I've never seen the trail this bad. Brutal!!!! I was dead by the time we got to the trucks.

Rode Renshaw Weds-Thurs. Trail was a little rough but the snow was awesome at the end off the rainbow!! You have to pay to play!! LOL

I forgot my camera so thanks to bbtoys, glengine and mikew5j for posting pics of our ride! WICKED TWO DAYS

Here is the only picture that I took with my cellphone of my sled with the new 174" extension that Glen just finished installing, sweet job Glen!! :beer:

As always a big shout out to Barry and Judy for spoiling us again :d

yes it is spring riding conditions, groomed in the morning and rough at nite. if everyone would spread out on the way up it would be a bit better on the way down. the upside is that the 20 dollar complainers are now willing to pay twice that. LOL

Looking ahead to next weekend will we be driving up the trail to stage or is everyone still staging from the parking lot or down below by the collection shack?
