Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/30

I LIKE IT, I LIKE IT ALOT! 11 a.m. on Wednesday and snowing and blowing and almost white out conditions at about 4 degrees out there. Just had a guy in to get a new helmet with an electric shield and he is heading out to ride.

Trailer counts this morning at the Days Inn and the Ramada were 1 at each place.

I took a great ride yesterday from here to the bridge. Left about noon and got back a little after 7. For the first time I went up thru Alanson, stopped at Spankys to check that place out. Nice store and he is more on the trail then I am. On up to the bridge where you could only see a little bit of it cause it was snowing so hard. Ran into a group of sleds at the shore taking pictures and it was Gary Brown and his crew of Flying Tigers from Canton Ohio. From there I went to the Key Hole for a quick burger and then hit the trail for back to Frederic. It was 85 miles to Mackinaw going up thru Alanson and 84 miles back going thru Cheboygan.

All in all a beautiful 169 mile ride. I would guess total I was only stopped for about 1 hour between the 3 stops that I made so that was a full 7 hour ride. Just north of Vanderbilt I came up on a groomer heading north and for the next 5 miles I was first one on the trail and like my friend Richy used to like to say it was just like a table. Actually trails the whole day were perfect but its always nice to ride a nice flat table. I bet I only passed 20 sleds all day.

I still think they are making to big a deal about the supposed cold out there as I wasn’t cold at all yesterday even though the winds were a bit stiff towards the end. I wish I could do that everyday. Had another group of Canadians in yesterday morning too……Thanks for checking in. Please Ride Safe and Ride right… Pete

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/28

The Polar Vortex is our Friend. I had a shirt here in Sledheads a few years ago and its about time to break it out again. Its about ten on Monday morning and not much new snow overnight but they are still saying ten to 15 inches yet today and its been coming down the past hour or so. I heard a sled out there but the snow is coming down so hard riding will be tough at this time.

There were 2 trailers each at both days inn and Ramada this morning so most everyone went home. You can always tell when I 75 is closed and it happened twice yesterday as that’s the only time there is a traffic jam in Frederic. Trucks, cars and trailers backed up as far as you can see. I am going to be busy plowing most of the day.

I have a voice mail from the mountain man from a week or so ago when he called me at 4 a.m. and said he was doing the snow dance, really quite entertaining, I am going to put it into a short video this week for your enjoyment just to show you the snow dance really works.

Pic of the shop below I just took outside a minute ago. Other pics are my brother and he stopped by yesterday and of the rig Devon was in as they cruised by yesterday afternoon. Quite the sled hauler. Thanks for checking in and I need to get to moving some snow. Gonna plow out my park n ride out back and remember you can park back there and parking is by donation just to help for plowing and taxes…….Please Ride Safely and ride right. Thanks for checking in. Pete
