And the answer is ? It seems that riders are showing up anyways no matter what anyone says about the trails. People just want to ride and it seems they say the heck with it and are coming anyways. Weather forcast for the next 5 or 6 days still has temps above 32.

We had some lake effect falling yesterday which made it nice and white and as I was leaving here last night I saw the Gaylord groomer on the trail which pictures are below. I went up and looked at that trail this morning and while I could see some stones on it here and there it looked pretty good but I know there isn’t enough on there to make it last. I talked to Keith this morning on the grayling groomers and he still says there isn’t enough out there to work with and I have to agree with him at rating the trails at mostlsy poor and fair in some spots.

Yesterday was off to a pretty slow start so I took my chair out of my office and sat in the corner reading which was quite relaxing but Scotty Bobby came in and caught me napping. I have to say that was quite relaxing but as the day went on more riders started coming in and there were way more sleds rolling thru Frederic than the day before. Other pics this morning were 3 in the lot in downtown Grayling and they must have been at the Grayling Restaurant for breakfast and then a line up of sleds at the Ramada Inn too.

Still 6 trailers at the Ramada and one at Days Inn today. Its been about a week now but as I have said before STAY OFF THE LAKES. A guy and his wife on a two up went thru the ice up near Indian River.

Luckily they both got out but we are still a long ways off from good ice. In the past couple week I see many new readers in here so welcome to all those new people and hopefully they will all stop in to say hi when they finally make their way north. So enough rambling for this morning. Thanks for checking in and Please Ride Safely. Pete — http://frederic-mi.com/and-the-answer-is-2/

It’s 24 and cloudy this morning. Hard and Rutty is how we ended up after yesterdays 46 degree temps and high winds of up to 50 mph late yesterday afternoon. Many people still without power.

The mackinac bridge was closed yesterday for a while due to ice falling from the towers.

I have seen one sled out this morning and saw maybe a dozen yesterday but none of them rode into the shop here. Everybody that stopped in here yesterday were in cars and from talking to people most all of them have cabins in the area and had been planning to come up to ride and are making the best of it for now.

I talked to Chris last night who is the only person I know with a Sledheads tattoo and he said they found some good snow out in the woods and had a good ride yesterday. The trails I looked at this morning are pretty snirty and 2 of the pics below are the parking lot and trail just west of grayling on 72 and the other is the parking lot at the Ramada in grayling this morning where if you look close in the grass you can see ski and track marks.

There were actually 7 trailers there this morning too at the Ramada this morning and one next door at the days inn. Had a call from some guys up near Gaylord that came up from south of Indy and they were wondering which way to go and that’s a tough question to answer.

Weather man is calling for a little lake effect today but we need way more than that…..So still waiting……Thanks for checking in. Pete — http://frederic-mi.com/24-degrees-and-cloudy/
