Join Northshore Vintage Sleds for its second annual Vintage Snowmobile Ride on Saturday, Jan. 27 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The ride starts at 1 p.m. and leaves from Two Guys from Italy Pizzeria and Family Restaurant, 2645 NYS Rte. 49, West Monroe.

Registration begins at 10 a.m. and doughnuts and coffee will be provided. Food will be available for purchase before and midway through the ride, while pizza and wings will be provided after the ride at approximately 4:30 p.m. There is no registration fee for the event, but donations to cover operating expenses are appreciated.

The ride is about 25 miles but could potentially be shortened due to trail conditions. The route is mostly on the Oswego County Recreation Trail, with connections on Square Valley and Vanderbilt club trails. Northshore Vintage Sleds thank the Square Valley Trail Blazers and the Vanderbilt Snowmobile Club for their support in this event.

In addition to the ride and food, door prizes and other giveaways will be handed out and snowmobiles will be available for viewing before and after the ride. The event takes place even if there is a lack of snow.

The ride will be governed by a permit from the New York State Department of Parks and Recreation.  Snowmobiles do not need to be registered but must be properly insured. Riders must wear helmets.  

Northshore Vintage Sleds, a not-for-profit, partners with the Greater Central New York chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to raise awareness and collect donations to support suicide prevention. The event serves as a celebration of life for Matthew Bewick, a member of the Northshore Vintage Sleds.
