Dave K Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Just came back from 7 km rip after chores were done. Some thin spots, but better than i hoped for. Groomer is out, ground drifting is happening. and i am riding. All is good in the world again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave K Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hats off to the volunteers, and the real Heroes, the groomer operators for getting the white ribbon trails in as good as shape as they are today with the little they have to work with. The parking lot in Atwood was a little full this afternoon But the trails are in good shape. Only the 2nd time in three years that I have had 3 sleds that we could go out with the whole family and have a ride. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where BW trails and Maitland Valley meet. Likely closed since Maitland Valley just opened today, and BW opened yesterday My guess is BW will open that tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trail is right behind the parking area at the arena and to the west of the parking lot there is a local trail to the restaurant in non Covid times at least.

Dave K Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Got 170 km on today . All from my driveway. Trails were all in good shape, no dirt showing in the fields, bushes were pretty good as well. With the 14 day not really showing warm temps, we should be good for a few weeks in D9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they will groom swamp this year or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
