SNIRT Run 2009

On Saturday Roland and some friends went on the annual SNIRT Run. It is a 4 wheeler poker run on Tug Hill. SNIRT stands for snow/ice/dirt! I'm told that they definitely encountered snow, ice and dirt, but also dust and mud too!

There were over 1300 4 wheelers registered and the run started in Barnes Corners.

Since we were blessed with some fresh snow earlier in the week (IN APRIL!!) the trails had a combination of snow and mud depending on where you were. As you can tell, it was hard to keep on your side of the trail and our friend Rod had to lift his 4 wheeler out of the way of oncoming traffic.

The snow was deep in areas too!
Then came the dust. Check out the windmills in the background. When I went on a similar run with Roland last year we got so close to the windmills I was amazed at how gigantic they are.
Don't forget about the mud because there was plenty of that too! This is Roland's favorite part. He even has a sticker on the back of his wheeler that says "I LOVE MUD!" I'm happy to say that I wasn't on the back of the 4 wheeler with him for this part.

The next big ride is on May 2nd! He is counting down the days.
