FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/30

I’m Melting. It still looks like its gonna be a long while till we get back to riding if at all. When I opened my door at home this morning the first thing I heard was dripping water off the roof. Still alot of white if you look into the woods but the trails are pretty ugly. I wish I had better things to say but we are toast for now. I was closed this past weekend and if I find something more fun to do that be here I might be closed again. I hope they can pull off the I 500 in the Soo this weekend and I will be here bright and early tommorow morning to watch the Wertz Warrior ride pull into the Swamp. That should be interesting. Somewhere in my travels on monday the Wertz Warriors semi trucks passed me. They are supposed to be pulling into Frederic between 9 and 10 tommorow morning. I wll do a video and pics from there. I cant believe that they will have any sleds riding but time will tell. Weather on t.v. just said above average temps for the next 7 days. Its now tuesday about noon as I type this.Trail crossing pics are from this morning.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via North Store Follow Me Outfitters – 01/30

Got a little snow…

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump 01/29

Went for a little ride today

It’s like riding in late March

Trail 9 towards wolf inn Had good and bad spots but rideable

Trail 8 going towards grand marais was pretty good needs a groom when it freezes up

Riding north along 407 is doable. crappy like it usually gets.
The two tracks and fire lanes are really good. The deer park dog race is this weekend so use caution from cr410 to Lake Superior
I put about 60 miles on quick. I’m going again tomorrow.

If you want to go fast and 200 miles a day not your time. If you want to cruise around and enjoy yourself give it some consideration.

We had heavy traffic this weekend. People commented they appreciate the pictures and updates and they decided to take a chance.
