Good Snow + Good Trails = Great Ride!
We managed to get out this morning for a ride. We headed south on trail 7 from Rays Retreat. This stretch was a little bumpy – but not bad. From Waters to Frederick trail 7 was excellent. It was as smooth as a newly paved highway – smoother than Old 27 running along that stretch!
In Frederick we picked up trail 679, to trail 79 and then back on trail 7 and home. A round trip just a little over 50 miles. Folks – this was a really good ride. A few rolling bumps, mostly at corners where there were stop signs. We saw only 6 riders thru this entire ride. Although this afternoon we’ve seen quite a few more riding by the motel. Trail 79 had some icy corners.
Absolutely nothing to complain about if you enjoy getting out and riding good trails. A bit of snirt seen on trail 7 – this trail always shows snirt. It is just too close to the road, and too many little roads cutting thru it.
We require a 2 night minimum stay on the weekends, but this weekend because we have a few folks coming in Thurs and leaving Sat morning – we have two rooms available for Sat. night. So give us a call if you are looking for a room Sat night. 989-732-2703 or 989-732-4914.

Petoskey Snowmobile Club – 01/25
Current Trail Conditions: Good

Rode 80 miles yesterday and we are fortunate in the Chandler Hill – Springbrook area to have more snow than Wolverine or Indian River the closer to Vanderbilt -Gaylord we picked up more snow again. It was great to be finally riding again. Our trails are in good shape, we need to keep receiving fresh snow. Another cold day -13 degrees this morning. Both groomers were scheduled to go out last night. Stay warm.

The new trail into Petoskey IS OPEN! It goes from our clubhouse trailhead (on the corner of Cedar Valley Rd. and Evergreen Trail) to the Odawa Casino just south of Petoskey. The trail has a few road crossings, including having to cross US-131 at Lears Rd. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE use extreme caution when crossing any road. STAY ON THE TRAIL and obey traffic signals. Safety first.

trails are being groomed. We put a demo drag on the back of the Piston Bulley Saturday. It is a Dubie Groomer with dual wings, grooming over twelve foot wide in one pass. This is the same drag we have behind the John Deere but with one more wing. Hard to get John A. back down on the ground after using this drag yesterday. Looks like we may be able to try this drag out for a few more days and John will miss it when it is gone. trails are the best they have been so far this year.
