Gaylord Area Trail Report – Ray’s Retreat Country Inn – 01/10

After cleaning 14 rooms, we got out for a ride. 30 miles of pure fun. First we rode down to Waters for some lunch and then headed out into the woods. We did alot of off trail riding on the two tracks and back roads. Up/Down Hills. Lots of snow out there and its plenty white in the woods.

We did ride trail 7 and trail 4. Not smooth, some ripples and bumps but we still rode along without slowing down. I was surprised at how good the Mancelona hills were.. those were smooth.

Its a great way to get out, blow off that tired dragging feeling and revive yourselves!

We do need some fresh snow .. its in the forecast for overnight and tomorrow. Give us a call if you’re looking for a place to stay that enjoys and understands snowmobiling. If you need a sled, we rent Ski Doos. Give us a call at 989-732-4914 or 989-732-2703.

Gaylord Area Trail Report – Ray’s Retreat Country Inn – 01/07

After starting the day out taking Sparky to the vet for surgery, we finished breakfast and finally got out on the trail! Fun.

We headed out on trail 7 down to Waters to get gassed up. Trail 7 was good, a little rough spots right along where the sledding hill is just before Waters. Then we headed back on trail 7 north to catch trail 4. Rode trail 4 over to The Settings. This entire ride on trails 7 and 4 was excellent conditions.

The trails were groomed and smooth. Only 2-3 corners were a bit sloppy. What fun!

Any part of the trail that is running along the highway, or crosses alot of roads the trail is ‘dirty/snirty’ or whatever. Nowhere did we hit any part of the trail that was down to dirt. Plenty of snow. Anywhere it was in the woods or aways off the roads it was white enough you couldn’t see exactly where the trail was.

Found more snow as we got further west, definitely more snow in Lakes of the North.

If you want to enjoy good riding, I recommend this ride. A room just came in and they continued on over to Jordan Valley and say it was great riding all over there too.

We’d love to see some of that snow that is downstate, but even without it we had a fun day on the trail.

I highly recommend enjoying the trails during the week. Give us a call if you want a good place to stay directly on the trail. If you need a sled to ride, we can help you with that too. We’re renting ski doo snowmobiles too.
