NYSSA Meetings

The March Board of Directors Meeting will be held in Speculator, NY in the Adirondack /Tug Hill region of New York to provide an opportunity for area snowmobilers to attend.

March Meeting Information Bulletin

March 6th Rides:  1st ride meets 8:30am at Mountain Market for coffee with a 9:00am departure time. Guided by Mike Denapole and Don Roark, it will be a pleasurable tour throughout Hamilton and Herkimer Counties, perhaps to Salisbury Ridgerunners.

2nd Ride meets at 10:30am for coffee at Mountain Market and will depart 11am from Mountain Market. This shorter ride is geared towards slower more scenic riding style around the Lake Pleasant/Speculator area (Family members welcome). Aaron Fischer, Paul Allen, Bob Carr and other local club members will guide this ride. 

 We would like to do two rides in the event anyone brings their families and they would like to take part in our festivities for the day.

Both rides would leave from the Mountain Market and would include lunch stops along the way for you to sit down and purchase lunch for yourselves at one of the area restaurants.

Maps of the area will be available in all the local businesses.  I will also see to it that a welcome bag is placed in each room rented for the meeting. 
 

Saturday March 7th:  According to Mike Fisher the agenda for the meeting will not change much at all.

After the meeting we would propose if there is enough interest from the board we all go for a guided ride put on by a local organization named DRAG (Dedicated Residents to Area Grooming).  If you would rather explore the area on your own maps will be available at the meeting. For those of us wishing to eat dinner the ride will end at one of the few restaurants in town.  The end location will be discussed before leaving so we can call ahead for tables.
