Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 03/11

Greetings Sledders,

I’m sure that many of you are wondering if we have anything left for the final hoorah this coming weekend and the answer to that is yes although the conditions aren’t quite what we had during weekends past.

Yesterday the high in the sky March Sun was on full blast with virtually no cloud cover to be seen and it did take a toll, not a death blow but definitely a toll on the trails and especially on all of the County roads that connect the various trail segments. A good example of that is Lewiston Grade behind us which is shot, however you can trailer to the parking lot and ride all day on and off the trail but you can’t get to Lovells to get gas and food without enduring a bunch of bare roads.

Bottom-line is I’m calling the trails fair, there’s still snow on most of each segment, but you will see stretches that were once snirt that now are probably dirt. A ride able situation but far from the Good to Very Good status we had just a week or so ago.

In looking at the long range weather forecast it would seem that this deal is about to come to another close which I will do next Tuesday.

If you do come up plan on having to feel your way around here and there and I believe that it’s doable just not what we’ve been accustomed to this year.

Ride Often and Please Be Safe,

Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 03/05

Greetings Sledders,

March is upon us and it looks like we will finally get some moderation in the temps starting this weekend although it’s hard to imagine that as we had another night of 21 below last night, what a brutal winter it’s been.

Our grooming schedule will remain pretty much the same as it has been except that we will throw an extra run on a couple of segments to bring in the reserves on the sides.

Right now the trails remain in good to very good condition and I don’t see the rise in this weekend’s temps as doing us any real harm. I would throw out this caution however, the March high in the sky Sun is supposed to be in and out over the next week and is something to keep an eye on. The good news about that is traffic will be down especially during the week which will allow the trails to absorb a bunch of those nasty rays without too much damage.

Next report will be mid next week.

Ride Often and Please Be Safe,
Keith, Sandy and The Girls
