Houghton TY Ride - Conditions?

[Turtle]

Anyone know what the conditions are like in the Houghton area?

The Houghton TY ride is coming up next week and the snow maps aren't looking too good. Has me a bit concerned......

Keep the faith

So far it looks like the best snow is south of the bridge around Twin Lakes.

 

[Turtle]

Is the bridge down? I'm sure the matt isn't down, but I certainly hope the bridge is down ... otherwise, we are f-'d for going south.

I've see all the lake effect storm warnings out this week. Did they come to fruition?

 

[MrSled]

There is more snow there then anyplace so I am going to go ride regardless... understand if other back out but we are all in.

There should be some snow to play in somewhere...... I am still in yet

Just look at it this way, it cant be any worse then some of the 1st rides around home

 

[NOS-PRO]

You got that right

They r calling for rain and the temps in mid 40s. My buddy just come from that way and said the trails were in poor shape. I dont think there will be any snow left after the worm up and the rain. Just letting u guys know...

May have to call this trip off then I am still planning on going in that area someplace to do some testing....

[MrSled]

Im still in. heading up to do testing.... suck we can have a normal ride but at least I can find a place to test.

Not sure about Houghton, but rained/drizzled all night here in Marquette.

Never got below freezing all night.

 

[Turtle]

I'm sorry to say it ... but we're gonna have to throw in the towel. Hope to see everyone at the next ride.

 

[MrSled]

I understand... I would say the TY Ride is formally called off. I will be up there doing testing and searching for some snow to run on so, if anyone has nothing better to do, come on up and join us.
