Snowmobiles
 

Lets get a Style riding group together.

I usually head up north to ride but with so much snow this year in the metro, I'm looking for some new places to ride.

Jim

Polaris Edge XCSP 800 VES
Skidoo MXZ Renegade 800r Power T.E.K

Peter, Tom, Trevor, Kody, Kevin J, who else is up for some riding?

Re: Snowmobiles
 

I almost bought one at the auction last week, but it didn't include a trailer, and I'm not sure I can get on a riding trail directly from my house, so I didn't buy it. I wonder if it's safe to ride across the river, in which case we'd only be about a half mile away from each other. If I can get my hands on one, I'll let you know.

Nice, I just sold mine:(. Bought a 01 sentra for a daily, so now Im looking for a sled again but it may be a few weeks. Also Im off off 22 in linwood. Your more than welcome to unload at my house and hit the trails. LMk

Side note- January is pretty slow so if ya wanna get your flooring done.

Re: Snowmobiles
 

I posted over on evomn, Id go riding with you, I just need a trailer cause the one I have is buried in snow. I usually ride out of my folks house in the south metro, the trail system along the mississippi bluff (redwing, hay creek area) is just stellar if you dont mind coming this way. Otherwise, anyone have a way of getting me to the north metro, id be in for this.

I can't ride out of Coon Rapids and honestly HWY65, Andover/Ham Lake area is just beat to piss from the enormous amount of traffic.

I have access to a trailer, its a 2 place and it's sitting in my driveway. :D

Re: Snowmobiles
 

I also have a 2 place trailer and now have 2 sleds :)

Re: Snowmobiles
 

I have a ride planned for Sunday, You are all welcome to come along for the ride.


The plan is to depart from Hastings going to Redwing then Haycreek and finally Cannon Falls. Around a 100 mile ride. Probably eat at Kings bar in Miesville for lunch. Have 3 guys already coming, all friends of mine. If you would like to go, text me or call 651-207-9861. The more that come along, the more fun these rides tend to be.


Hastings is about a hour trip from the farthest Northwest corner of the cities, but the trails are less beat then what you may expect on the north side. Trail consist of bluff riding with a combination of farm fields, tight tree groves paths, deep snow areas, and steep hill climbs. The snow depth varies right now from 30 to 15 inches of snow in most areas of the trails.

Re: Snowmobiles
 

Been to lazy to even get mine out and ready this year.

Re: Snowmobiles
 

Shawn, I'm game! I'll talk to my brother in law tonight and see if he is up for a ride but I'll go for sure.

Trevor, will you be back in time for a ride Sunday? Shawn what time?

Re: Snowmobiles
 

I might be down. Need to ask my buddy if he wants to go cause he has the trailer.

Re: Snowmobiles
 

Excellent Jim this should be a good time. Peter I hope ya can make it.

The plan is to meet @ 10:00 AM at my folks house @ 10800 180th ST. Hastings, MN 55033. The group will be leaving shortly after that. We will make one gas stop at about 5 miles into the ride so dont worry about topping off your tank.

Re: Snowmobiles
 

Is there an gas sations after that one?

Re: Snowmobiles
 

Plenty of gas stations along the way if needed; no worries. :)

Re: Snowmobiles
 

is there a gas station every 20 miles or so cause I only have a 4 gallon tank?

Re: Snowmobiles
 

Possibly, but I think you may need a backup plan just in case. 4 gallon would be ok for the trip to Red Wing/ Haycreek but you maybe stretching it for the trek from there to Cannon Falls. I know there are a couple gas stations along the way. See the trail map here: http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/snowmobiling/map9.pdf to get an idea.

Nate also needs 6' drifts and areas to launch his IQ Race sled ;)

Re: Snowmobiles
 

IQ races sleds are so nice, does it run pump gas?

Game on for tommorow,

The plan is to meet @ 10:00 AM at my folks house @ 10800 180th ST. Hastings, MN 55033. The group will be leaving shortly after that. if you have any problems finding the place, give me a call on my cell @ 651-207-9861

Re: Snowmobiles
 

Yeah it runs on 93 and the timing turned down to -3 for riding on ditches.

Re: Snowmobiles
 

I live in Zimmerman and the state trail goes right over my driveway. They seem to groom it at minimum every 3 days and there are trails all over up here. Good amounts of snow here and I have 1 02 edge 600 with a 600ho motor, team clutch setup, 136" extension and am willing to have people park and go for a good days ride from here if wanted. Anyone interested for the Friday Saturday, or Sunday around new years?

Re: Snowmobiles
 

And Nate get a large tank for that thing. They sell ones that bolt on and extend under the seat or something and hold like 9 gallons or something. http://www.jspowersports.com/polaris_iq.htm
