im from maine and i ride all year round. here its gettin muddy n soft, so the best advice i can give ya is heavy duty rain pants, and plenty of dry gloves. a dry towel in a back pack wont hurt for sure.  tear it up  

The best way i could describe it is like when you are driving through mud..and after your treads are filled with mud and you have NO traction..Just keep a steady throttle and have fun!  

alright sounds like fun. i have some old tires laying around my garage, any ideas for spikes?

ya i know but you werent projected to last year and where i was there was a good 2 to 2 1/2 ft on the ground, i just want to make sure im ready for it im hoping for 2-3inches of wet snow... perfect for tracking

EDIT: i just checked weather its been 30-45 degrees for the last week or two, uncle says he has already seen a few flakes

its better to own nothing worldly and still have your identity
then have the world and no identity
---------------------------------------"We were born of the night. We live in it. We will die in it. But tomorrow there will be light, for those now crying in the night. For those to whom day is denied. To whom death is a gift. To whom life is forbidden."

im a BIG time skier... you have to love getting fresh tracks and being first on the slopes (or trails!) for the day

  quazy- i hate snowboarder "stereotypes" if your out there doing your own thing whatever, but if your re-enforcing the stereotype STOP SITTING OR WALKING DOWN DOUBLE BLACKS for real i cant stand that
