We departed at 815 and returned at 12:45, 106 miles.. All in all the trails were mint! Best I have ridden this season. The only issue we had was the road riding we had to do in between trails, not much snow left, will try and map out an alternate routes next time to eliminate that issue.

Hey, I was up there today too! I thought I would post a few follow ups to the ride the other day. I dropped at the Grist Mill in Parish and rode 205 miles! For almost the whole day the trails were flat, wide and FAST! I hit some of my favorites - O'Hara Road in Redfield and the Camp 4 Road. I went a long way and I did something I had said that I was not going to do - I could not resist doing the reservoir again. Actually the reservoir had about 3-5 inches of mostly virgin snow on it. I took a one handed video of the ride. It is on my cheap old camera, but hopefully you can see how nice the snow is. I'll also post a few pics. I was taking the video with one hand and driving with the other, so it is bumpy. No broken belts or blown tracks, but I did come across a hit and run accident - no injuries, but the sled was pretty damaged and rolled over - not sure how the rider was not hurt. Here is the little video I took. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZIRkIfvXbI Here is a pilot view on the reservoir:  There was alot of virgin snow:  These people were on one of the islands that is normally in the middle of the water:  Trails were in great shape:  The Turbines - blue sky - not like last week haha!  I agree that the conditions were as close to ideal as can be - between the trails and the weather WOW. At about 430 things started to get bumpy down low, but that is to be expected! Peace - Dan |
