The trail has held up fairly well this week. It did turn colder Wed night … grooming has been on schedule all week. Which has given everyone a good ride. There are areas along roadways/crossing roadways that are soft and/or wet as it gets later in the day. Those that rode yesterday declared it great riding. Everyone I talked to had went at least 100 miles. They were not disappointed with the conditions. The trail itself was smooth.

Today’s temp is supposed to rise into high 30’s. Tomorrow rain arrives. Then Monday its back to cold and snow. It’s a watch and see time. Hopefully we’ll be able to get another week of good riding if the rain doesn’t take it all away.

We took a quick 30 mile ride this evening. We had fun. Conditions varied… and my advice if you are trying to decide about coming up – it depends just how picky you are. If you just love getting out and having some fun there is plenty of snow especially thru the wooded areas.
Trail 7 had a bit of everything … smooth, chatterbumps, waterholes, ice… I saw lots of places where the base is down to the ice.
We checked out trail 4 over to the Mancelona Hills. That was good with plenty of snow.
Trail 4 had a section of the trail where the road was down to the dirt (coming off Passenheim).
Overall 80% of the trail was decent riding
