Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/05
It’s sunny crunchy and minus 18 this morning in Frederic. Schools from clare all the way to the u.p. are closed today. I like walking outside when its this cold to hear the crunchy snow under your feet. Temps are supposed to be up to 13 today so that’s not to horrible. I did get to take my first ride of the season yesterday and as I was just getting to leave here and decide which way to go the phone rang and it was Keith in the groomer just checking in with me and he said they had just groomed north from grayling to Frederic and about to head down 79 back towards grayling so that answered my question pretty easily. I headed off south on 7 to the loop back north towards Frederic. It only took me about 40 minutes before I came up on the groomers. They were running both big John Deere groomers to make a perfect trail. I took a picture of the groomers and then rode back south as I was going to get a video of them going by. My phone was at 90 percent when I left and after I took those pictures the phone was dead as can be. The cold really wiped that out in a hurry. Also for the first time ever my hand warmers weren’t working so I finished the loop back to Frederic. For a first ride of the season it was very nice but I need to get those warmers working. I checked the motels this morning and it was a low count with 1 at the Days Inn and 5 at the Ramada. Still waiting on a good shot of snow to go with the cold. Like I have said most everyday in the past couple of weeks, the cold is what is saving the trails and they are really holding up well for what we do have. I am ready to go again. I really don’t like to think about upgrading on my sled cause I love my big old Cadillac of a sled , the 05 turbo 660 arctic cat, I like a sled with a big windshield…….Thanks for checking in and Please remember to ride safely as the death count is now up to 3, all in the u.p. Pete
