I'm in for the demo ride.

Not to sound negative, but wow is that a crappy ten day forecast. Barely getting to freezing and mid-40's during the day isn't good.

We wish it was only mid-40's.........I live 16 mi. south of the Comfort Inn and I've got bright sun and FIFTY-FREAKING-ONE at 4:45 in the afternoon.... Oh well, there's always the bar

 

[Swiss Sledder]

Some of the best races are done in the bar

If we have to we will take the sleds to the snow.... dont panic.

I know Im not going to panic, but I may call Donna and have her stock up on a couple extra bottles of Captain to fill the extra time we may have back at the hotel!!

Hey Tom...so does this mean Demo rides no matter what? I'm fine with dragging my sled out to the woods, but will Yamaha?
I really wanna ride the 2011

 

[SLEDSTART]

I'll be up there with my buddy Wes. Caught wind of possible heat wave, I'm gonna stay tuned, I'll be there if the trails are, but 500 miles one way may not be a good idea for slush or ice!

On a side note, I might be looking to borrow/rent/buy a set of bibs, or bibs and coat for the weekend. Wes sold his sled a year or so ago, and his gear went with it. He's a bit bigger than I am, and I don't think what I have will fit. We're still looking, but if anyone out there has anything... pm or call me?

Nate...you stil coming and how big is he? I may have a set of Bibs he can use

Right now, there is nothing that says its canceled... we can always move it to the plains for that day... on top of that... a trail report on the base conditions from Muni north would be nice.

Yeah, yeah,yeah.............. Cut me a little slack......I been sick.

I'll try after I see what Dr. has to say tomorrow.

Fishweb says base is good on the Grand Maris trails and will be groomed as long as it drops to freezing at night.
All these years and Ive still never ridden Kingston plains!

Thanks Buddah!! Dont push it, get well and we will see you Thursday.

I can give you a trail report as of Friday and Saturday.

I rode from just north of Manistique on Friday and Saturday. I went to Wetmore, Melstrand, Seney, Grand Marais, etc... The trails north of M-28 are in still rather good shape considering the warm temps. They are grooming every nite in Seney, Grand Marais. The Manistique club is grooming north of the Jack Pine to Shingleton. Not sure if they are stil grooming west towards trail 7 or not.

Trail 8 from 94 to Wetmore was getting beat up. They groom that in the day and it does not set up like a nite groom would. But there is still snow on the trail and that is a good thing!

The Kingston Plains trails were in great shape. Going off trail is getting tricky. Stumps starting to show and the base has softened to where you fall thru and not ride on top.

Getting into the towns for gas or food is getting challenging, but you can still do it. Some snirt, dirt, pavement. Spring riding conditions for sure.

If we do not get alot of rain between now and this weekend, the riding north of M-28 will still be okay to good to great.

I do not think we have too much rain in the forecast if any.

Hope this helps.

[MrSled]

Awesome Report!!! Thanks You... so that tell me as long as they dont get any rain, we should be able to run the demos right out of the Comfort Inn.

I was really surprised how well the trails have held up this weekend, saw groomers out all day saturday.

Just like it was said getting in and out of town is BAD! Gettting from the comfort to trail 8 rail grade was bad. Still plenty of snow to ride, you just have to get to it.
