oh yah hes deffinetly asking to wait LOLOL

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Still a tough world out there :snow:

I guess it depends on a lot of things; how close of a friend, does he return big favours, total group thoughts, etc..

If I was working, I wouldn't ask and I would get my arse out there as soon as I could. I don't think I'd wait either but that is not my decision. Good luck Sean :snow:

Everyone I ride with has a deck and or trailer of there own. If there is 5 of you; taking 1 truck and trailer for 5 sleds, guys and gear is unlikely. I would never ask my group to wait nor would anyone else in it. If one was to volunteer to wait cool. JMO.

Haul his sled and he can meet you Friday night. Then someone cAn jump in with him on the way home. Super easy issue. It's not like its a huge planned ride that everyone's been waiting for. Even if it was my truck we were depending on I would let the guys take it and use one of their vehicles to get there.

I agree with the rest here. Hes on his own. Its not like your leaving him on the battlefield or something.....its a sledding trip! If it were me I would just drive out by myself the next day and then the trip home wont be so crowded because 1 or 2 can jump in with him on the way home.

And I agree with ministik man.......that is way too frickin cold!

Your jokin right.....usually the locals that sit out the cold days because they have more opportunities to ride. In our group number 5 is on his own

I have a friend that lives in Vale and he comes with us on the sunday ride when we're in town. was stupid poor visibility one day when he came and one of my friends asks "where do you guys ride when it's chitty like this?" my buddy looks at him like he's from outer space, and says "we don't"...lol

Sounds like you would have too many guys for one truck anyway.
We would find a sixth guy in the same situation and convince them they should go sledding and while they're at it... drive up with this guy!

that's a lot to expect to cut the trip short a day. especially with the extreme cold, because I would expect the weather to quite possibly shorten your ride time as it is. once you get that chill in you, its likely time to start heading back down. but hey? not my call

Perfect answer, this is what we would do as well. Probably split the fuel 5 ways for both trucks as well.
