HCS Snowmobile Forums _ Vermont _ A BIG THANK YOU to Buckaroos of 302
Posted by: Bedlam Bikes Mar 31 2008, 06:26 AM
Got up at 4:30 AM Saturday March 29th and was on the rode at 5:10 AM heading for
Groton. I live in Belchertown MA which is a ride of 160 MILES due North to Groton. Picked up my buddy in Greenfield MA at
5:50 AM who took over the driving the rest of the way.
Leaving early paid off as we were the first ones on the trails when
we unloaded in the Butterfield lot!
Unknown to us at the time, this is what took place during the night before we
headed out (from Buckaroos site):
"Dave Wheatly climbed into the SurTrac at 7PM To groom all night. Dave went from
CA 10 to CA 5 onto etc...etc...etc.... Where he turned the key off at 6:54AM. That is almost 12 hours of grooming. With Dave
and Buzzy's grooming trips today all the Buckaroos of 302 trail system has been groomed for the week. We want to Thank Doug
Wilson, owner of Mt. Grooming, for providing us with Sur Trac Grooming equipment while our Sur Trac is in for repairs. Doug
is dedicated to the VAST trail system During his very busy day Doug called us several times to make sure that the Sur Trac
and Buzzy were working ok. Thank you Dave. Our trail system is still snow covered and we will keep grooming for as long as
possible. Come and enjoy."
Enjoy we did....probably the finest and smoothest groomed trails I've EVER ridden on in
my life. Plenty of snow and it was nice and cold out which helped maintain the trails. I couldnt believe it was March 29th!
We did 120 miles and had a good breakfast at UpperValley Grill served by a cute waitress. We probably saw 15 sleds on the
trails all day. VERY low traffic for a Saturday! At one tim we tried heading into Cabot but were met with quickly depreciating
trail conditions so we turned around and continued to ride th white carpets of Groton. It was a day to remember...
Thanks
to all that maintain the Buckaroos trail system!! GREAT job!
