| Today March 27, 2010 ATV Club Riders - Great ride with several new riders, a cookout, and training. WELCOME MontanaMan, Paratigger, and BigH to our club rides! |

It was warm and the snow was deep the last couple of weeks. People were still crossing Metal Creek and making it to the Knik Glacier. Rough riding conditions as the snow has not been blown away and it is very much rutted. Mostly, just stay on the beaten path and you will be ok. Crossing Jim Creek is a breeze for now. Cross just about anywhere. As of this Saturday, just a rough bumpy miserable ride. We had a fire, tons of food that Paratigger cooked on his nifty grill attached to the back of his side x side. Got to see Rich use his new side x side to haul in firewood, and did training for atv safety. Attempted to train George's winch and found a slight fault with it. We did spool out Chris's new winch cable and found it to be damaged, but it trained up ok. Rich spooled out his 4500 pound winch and we trained it up fine, as did Dianne's. Side hilling and incline safety were introduced and that went really good. All in all, a good day. Posted by Rockhound on Alaska ATV Club website March 27, 2010 |












| How can I do soooo much with just two hands, breaks, gas, winch, lights, cameras, nose wipes? Think goodness I don't have to give turn signals!!! |
