My mind never gets sick of it but my body does, after 3 days in a row my back and knees are shot and I need a few days rest.

SHD this is a trick question,,ask someone the same question when they have had a trip were there has been nothing but problems,,sled blow ups, trailer crashes (

),, hotel reservations messed up,, crappy weather,, clutch starting your sled for a week in -40,, speeding tickets (trail and road). Then I think the tune changes

When the trip has had little to no issues and the weather is kind I could ride forever...

If money were no object ( child support, housepayment, car payments ect!) I would never get off my sled w00t But I do have otherthings that come first..... :bash:

i could do it everyday, except i think i would quickly run out of money, lose my house, and my girlfriend would leave me, i've been gone every weekend since mid january and i think she already hates me

I agree with lady K. Normally I could ride forever. After this last weekend with 6 of 7 sleds having problems, 2 were melt downs, 1 was catastrophic until we could find a CDI. not to mention it took us almost 24 hours to get up there in a blizzard, and 14 to get home in more snow. I was READY to be home.

I'm going to assume Dave meant riding with no issue's mechanically, and therefore........NEVER ever ever NEVER would I get tired of riding. NOT EVER !

to be in all honesty im getting kind of sick of the snow. it was good at first but i miss things in the sumer, like fishing, camp fires, hunting, camping, mowing the lawn (got to love th peace of mind) and lets not forget, riding the quads and bikes. i preffer to ride in a t-shirt and jeans instead of wearing a big poofy jacket, pants, gloves and boots. after a while traveling in all that gear tires me out.

We would ride 7 days a week if we could afford it.. however my hubby is having second thoughts on ever riding again after he broke his back last Saturday morning. this year is over.. He was very lucky he didn't injure his spinal cord, but I think he will change his mind when the pain goes away..

Our annual northern Ontario trip is usually 7 days. Mind you last year it was only 6 because to stretch the trip over a week would've made for a couple of really short days.

Yep! As lady k said: When Murphy comes into the equation, sledding gets old. When nothing breaks, I could almost sleep on my sled! The only part that sucks is the ride home. Ride home depression is probably a good topic starter but, nobody wants to think about it!

I love sledding dont get me wrong here but I feel sorry for people who have no other life in the winter besides power sledding. there is just so much more for me to do .I value the few weekends I do get up there but it isnt my entire life .So , as passionately as you feel about sledding Dave ,I feel about my family . like on the rtyp and I asked if you would limit your Sunday morning ride to noon, it was so I could make the drive home in time to see my family before bed. too bad we were too late. and on the pole barn trip when I left on monday and you were calling me a "fool" for leaving those great conditions to watch Haleigh and Hamilton in a band concert .You called me an "idiot" for even having a sled as I couldnt go as much as you. the reason I couldn`t make any more trips this year is because I`m taking my "family" to Maine this summer to see our kin. but I guess you wouldn`t understand .

Can I just add another 2 cents in here? lol

[attachment=34476:25.gif]

I believe Dave's original question was how long would we " LIKE" to ride for? We all know that we can't ride forever and ever due to work, family, mechanical issues or whatever it may be.

I understand Dave's passion for ths sport because I have it too ! I'm lucky enough to have a husband who loves it that much as well.

I read Dave's question to be a hypothetical one because the reality is we can't ride as much as we would like too. ( at least WE can't anyway), but it doesn't change the fact that I would like to ride more than I doo.[attachment=34477:23.gif]

i agree with sled head on one account. ive been dating this girl since i was 14, and im 16 as of now. and we finally split. you have no idea how free i feel. of course im young, but to years in a realationdhip in high school is a big pain. i finally have time for work and play.

this is where i throw a twist. i agree with snofrog because family should come before anything else. after college and i find a decent paying job, its time to settle down. but until the mean time, i think its work and play!
