Hoping to be up either the weekend or a little bit next week - hopefully conditions hold on for us.

 

Do not want to jinx anything, but things look okay for the next little bit weather wise.

More sun will not help open areas but the bush should hold up good!

Looking to get out for my 1st ride of the season this weekend. lol. yeah I know I'm a little late to the party this season but it just hasn't worked out for me this year.   Any suggestions for a staging point within a hour drive from Bala to ride this weekend?  Thanks folks. Happy trails :)

Didn’t take you for a reckless rider….lol

Glad all situations turned for the better, for you. 

Lol We all have the occasional day dreaming moment or whoopsie during the season. I ride the same if im leading, mid pack or tail gunner or solo. On the right side. No i dont get passed ever but of all the people i do follow for a bit i gotta say the worst offenders of riding the center are the slower riders. Thats 100% the truth. The fast cowboys cutting corners are no better and they'll learn the hard way someday too.

In my opinion with the road running situation i'd try Raven lake hwy 35 head east to 64 and up to 101 area 65-67 trails. Or try North Portage rd town dock on LOB then head up 76 off LOB to 101 area 65-67 trails. HGR will be good too but the road runs connecting to the other clubs aint nice.  The 80 series trails will be good too but im not sure of parking. Maybe others will chime in. Enjoy!

Yes, we all do!!

Otherwise, tight to the right, unless a clear line of sight!!

Baysville was in good shape yesterday. Couple icy corners which will be worse by tonight. The road run was bearable and didnt over heat. Its thin through dickie lake but once past all that its good. Turned around at the tall pines limit as we didnt plan on a big ride and just did all the good stuff that Happy wanderers has. Very little traffic yesterday.

Took the princess for a ride today. 
Trails from 830am until about noon were really good with some expected bad spots and roads were partial snow / scrape. 
Than the snow started to turn very mushy, corners were pushing for sure, some were on wrong side, but traffic was real light and some more rocks poking through. 
Trails were flat and nicely set up. 
Fuel at MTH and lunch was boiler room. 
Lakes are in great shape though, good for some high mph runs.

Sure seemed that way. We were playing on the lake and for march break there weren't many sleds going by. Even this morning in town i couldnt hear any sleds on the trail. In years past it'd be moguls and snirt by noon on march break. Maybe everyones in Florida.

Saw some pictures of westway parking lot the other day and it looks like a parking lot a lot further south…..minimal snow, ice and pavement.

As we were driving east on 117 and looking at the snow by the road and trail d103b, I was expecting things to be much worse than they were and figured it’d be a shorter ride than it was. 
As mentioned, maybe people are done - it’s been a roller coaster winter

Both kids use them in their hand and feet, once they feel the need for them based on how cold the day is or their moods.

Usually feet/boots first, than maybe hands.

Actually it was only the last two rides this year the kids went on that they used them in their gloves, before it was strictly boots.

 

And we also use them when we go skiing, so they come in handy often throughout the winter.

Wife buys a big box of them from Costco that sit in the cupboard in the garage.

 

You should consider them when the boy gets older and outside with you, it can really turn things around when they start to feel the cold. They put off some good heat and so easy to pack and carry with you......and snacks of course too are a must!

I have them here. Everyone wastes them. If you seal them back in a plastic bag they can be reused. Smallest bag is ideal. Cuts oxygen off and stops reaction. Great tip for saving them for after lunch 😎
