We will be trying to get out as often as we can over the holidays if you are down this way.

I may have to take you up on the offer we'll see if I can round someone up to drive down there with me. I don't know many people that ride so I'm always eager to meet new people.

While we are on the topic of riding on the rivers, perhaps we should bring up some safety issues.
Of coarse we all know about the hazards of thin ice, I feel a serious hazard is meeting on coming traffic in the corners. Many of the corners are blind, making it impossible to see oncoming traffic.
We all enjoy doing 70-80 kph, drifting sideways around the corners, until we meet another atv, side by side or snow machine.

So lets all play safe and enjoy the riding.
That's why the rivers are best at night. It's easy to see on coming headlights.

There'll be a handful of us on the Blindman Sunday. Might venture off towards Bentley for a Monkey Top ceasar.

Right from my house. I'm about 6 minutes from the river....we've been known to have a few snorts in the shop afterwards.
