Our next adventure starts on February 27th in northern Minnesota and continues thru March 11th, 2022. Check back for more details, progress and pics and video’s….

On our recent adventure we tested a new product to improve our safety riding in a group. We tested the Motion Infinity Bluetooth Helmet Audio System by UClear Digital, we installed the units on 5 of the 9 riders in the group.

Summary:
Overall the UClear Digital’s Motion Infinity model fit our Club’s criteria, especially with their full duplex DynaMESH intercom technology, allowing unlimited amount of units (riders) to connect and extend the range from front to back of a group of riders. Communication was on the most part clear, and understandable, even at higher speeds. The ability for the group leader and/or sweep to communicate incoming traffic & hazards and problems at the back of the group allowed the group to ride safer and minimized delays and keep the group moving toward its destination each day with minimal confusion or delays.

We successfully and safely completed the 8 day adventure through northern Maine and New Brunswick, Canada. We did have challenges with support truck breaking down, two sleds needed repairs. With this type of adventure, navigating can be difficult at times, but we never got lost had to back-track more than a mile (once). We did have two close calls with Pete and Floyd, but fortunately no injuries or sled damage. Check back as we will be posting more pics, video’s and more over the next couple of days…. Thanks for everyone’s support and there’s still time to donate to your favorite Diabetes charity!

We crossed back into the USA today at Fort Kent, ME and stopped for the night Homestead Lodge in Oxbow, ME. Tomorrow is the last day of this adventure. We will be heading back to Jackman, ME

We started the day in Bathurst, NB with Brad Mann, President of the Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations. He graciously volunteered to guide us thru trials, snowmobile clubs and points of interest in this region. New Brunswick did not disappoint! this area’s trail system was one of the best I’ve witnessed in the 16 states and provinces I’ve snowmobiled in the last 20 years. (Pete Pattullo)
