There is still plenty of snow
in this area and the riding is still very good.
This is the time of year when you start thinking about how many weeks
there are left for good riding for the season.
We all know that a few warm days and a good rainstorm could end
snowmobiling for the year in a heartbeat! With
that in mind, think about coming to Rangeley for a few good rides before the
season ends. We are still getting
below freezing temps every night. The
groomers will be out there on their regular schedule as long as the budget
allows or until conditions deteriorate to the point where grooming can no longer
be done.
Please note that the trail
leaving People’s Choice Restaurant will
be closed on March 4th from 5:00 AM until 2:00 PM.
The Rangeley Cross Country is hosting a New England X-C Ski Marathon here
in Rangeley on that day and the Rangeley Lakes Snowmobile Club is closing this
trail to accommodate the skiers and avoid interference with snowmobiles.
The trail will be blocked off at People’s Choice Parking Lot, at Round
Pond and at Dodge Pond. Thank you for your cooperation.
Easy Bucks winners at the
February meeting were Brad Nystrom from Seekonk, Mass. And Vince Banaitis from
Rangeley. Neither were present so
the prizes were $50 each. Congratulations to both of you!
Congratulations to Jim Jannace
of Rangeley! Jim won the Polaris
120 snowmobile. The drawing was
held on Saturday, February 24th.
This has been a banner season for us this year, so far, in the way of few accidents.
Any accidents that have been reported to date have been minor with no
serious injuries. Let’s keep it
up! Hopefully, this is an indication that snowmobilers are
becoming more safety-conscious and
riding sensibly.
The next membership meeting
will be held on March 10th at the Episcopal Church Undercroft on Main
Street in Rangeley. We
have had very disappointing attendance this year.
The Senior Class of Rangeley High School has provided us with meals at
our last two meetings and will again on March 10th.
They have done a super job, the food has been great.
Please try to attend the meeting if you are in the Rangeley area.
The Seniors and the club both need your support.
You won’t be disappointed with the meal.
Social hour starts at 5:30 PM, dinner at 6:30 and the meeting starts at
7:30. Our meetings don’t usually
last more than 1 ½ hrs. Please
come and meet us - we would love to meet our members!
With the season winding down,
there is little news at this time. The
trails are still great! We’re
hoping for another month of good riding in this area and we hope you will be in
the area to enjoy it with us.
Remember always - safety first!
