Sandwich Sidehillers

Yeah, finally some snow! Troy got out with the big groomer today (Friday, March 2nd), and the riding on our trails is the best of the season. There are still rocks here and there, and the trails could use a few more feet of snow, but at least there is some riding. We saw some people out, and there will probably be lots more this weekend, so please be careful! Happy Trails!

Warm temps., rain, sleet, ice and more ice! We are still hoping for more snow so that we can hold the Sandwich Sled Dog Race, sponsored by the Sandwich Sidehillers Winter Trail Club on Saturday, February 18th at 9:00 a.m. The annual Musher’s Supper will be held on Friday night before the Race at the Sandwich Central School at 5:30 p.m. We already have mushers registered and plans are rapidly moving forward. Dog teams will start heading out at 9am at the start/finish line at Floyd’s Field on Bennett Street in North Sandwich. Warm food and drinks will be available there at the “Sidehillers Cafe”. We need more snow, but we also need volunteers!! Please consider becoming involved with this local winter tradition by helping out in the Sidehillers Cafe, hosting a musher, working on trails as a crossing attendant, helping to manage parking and logistics, or any of the hard work that it takes to put on this event. If you can help out in any way, please email Marsha Colcord, Race Marshal, at tecnalanowridge@gmail.com or call her at 986-8375. More information can also be found under the “Mushing” tab on this website.

Unfortunately, the weather has not been cooperating, and the snowshoe race has been cancelled. Thanks to Leland Yee, and all the other voluteers who had offered to help with this race. Hoping for next year….
