Introduction
Capital Region Santa's Toy Ride will be held on Sunday February 8, 2009 organized by the Tri-County Snowmobile Club and open for all snowmobilers to participate. The TCSC has participated for many years with the ride and encourages all snowmobilers to participate in this event. Over the past years we have seen upwards of 100 sleds come out. Its a great excuse to get out and have some fun in a big group.

We always make our judgment calls on Thursdays just to see what the weatherman can bring us...

So as of Feb 5 with no new snow in sight and the trails & ditches iced over from the rain we have postponed the ride to later in February

Hopefully we have another storm before the end of the season
