Grooming Update 2/1:
S73A from West Rome to DiCastro's Brick Oven Restaurant and Cycle Shack Polaris
C7 from New London to Potter Rd and Beeches Manor in N Rome
Which means all of our trails were manicured smooth over the past 18 hours.
And we are STILL having an issue with some snowmobilers who can't seem to be able to read, or ride reasonably along Clock Rd on C7F between Rome and Taberg? WHY? Why can't every snowmobile rider ride slowly through an area with 36 signs that read "SLOW", "Speed Zone", "Respect Landowner", and 15mph??? We realize that those minority of disrespectful riders don't represent all of us, but to the locals and landowners along that short stretch of road... IT DOES!
STAY ON THE TRAIL OR STAY HOME! We groom off the road there for the safety of the locals walking along the road, not wanting to be hit by a speeding snowmobiler! And to keep from having a snowmobile vs vehicle accident. The dead end portion of this road is 20 MPH! But we need riders to stay off the road and on the marked, groomed trail there.
As we've stated prior... We need to police ourselves! If you're riding with anyone in that area, please remind each other to go slowly through. Yes, we know our trails are beautiful... But if this one gets closed down due to the safety concerns, it's a LONG way around to get between Taberg and West Rome.
The Oneida County Sheriff's Dept will be sitting there again, to hopefully write tickets to those who can't seem to be in control of their snowmobile through there!
