Aarrgh! You guys with these pics and vids of this past weekends rides are KILLING me...

[rtippett33]

Thanks for sharing the clip. I'm heading up on Wednesday to Houghton/ Hancock area and slidding north. They probably don't have the bridge ready for sled passing but by any chance did you notice if they have?

[thebreeze]

I dont know. Didnt ride into Houghton.

[jeffkg]

Gates are open, but the mat is not down yet. It'll be another week or so...

[rtippett33]

Can the bridge still be passed?

[fireworks]

Yes, not a problem. Your carbides pay a little. Just go slow when you go across.

[rtippett33]

Will do....Thanks

[rtippett33]

[MNMIKE]
