Feb 14th: Sweetheart Ride
Open for discussion
For that don't know, this ride goes for River Park to Nenana, lunch and then back. It's about 60 miles one way all down the Tanana.

Re: Feb 14th: Sweetheart Ride
bring your "A" game I'm bringing my XLT Special, going down will be a nice fun ride,
coming back I plan on setting a land speed record,
I have a lady friend that is willing to drive a pickup down with a trailer in case people only want to go one way.
if the weather is nice though she wants to ride..
anyone thinking of just going one way?
and DR X i have the reverse kit for you

Re: Feb 14th: Sweetheart Ride
Thanks PB I was actually gonna call your tom. I get off at 630 so just let me know when you will be where lol. I'll be coming back from Eielson so anywhere in your stomping grounds is good. The wife wants to go (she just got her first machine) but pretty sure she would be more than willing and excited to get a ride back which makes a good pair out of us for the land-speed record lol . Talk to you tom!Alaskan Polar Bear wrote:bring your "A" game I'm bringing my XLT Special, going down will be a nice fun ride,

Re: Feb 14th: Sweetheart Ride
There is a ramp at the landing you can use.
The plan is to leave Chena Pump Landing at 9:30 AM so I'd say be there at 9:00 to off load and gear up.

Re: Feb 14th: Sweetheart Ride
Anyone know if the recent heatwave has any effect on ice conditions for the ride tomorrow?

The Nenana river at Nenana has some open water spots. So you all will have to be cautious on the river it is warm down there. Break up is comming quick this year!

Re: Feb 14th: Sweetheart Ride
Thanks for the heads up on the river at Nenana. There are a couple options to get by it, we'll play it by ear and see how the river trail is, usually has a good ice bridge near Nenana to cross.

Re: Feb 14th: Sweetheart Ride
Just did a check on ice thickness, last report was 44 Inches, I don't think we need to worry.
