A Suprising Ride!

We did not make it out on Saturday...but we sure did today!  It was a very suprising ride too.  The trails were VERY nice!  They were a bit icy in spots but there was plenty of snow to keep the heat exchanges snowed up.  We rode from Alanson toward Harbor, to Pellston, and then finally wound up in Mackinaw.  We followed the same trail back...only passed three people the entire time.  We ended up in the back woods and I had my first stuck of the year...and on the new sled.  (I chose not to get rid of it after all.)  It was not bad...but it took some work to get it out of the hole.  

We were going to go again tonight but it ended up getting too late.  I was going to try to take some video tonight...but no such luck.  Nor did I take pictures this afternoon.  I could not believe I forgot the camera!

Anyway, there looks to be a pretty good chance of snow throughout the entire week, less Monday.  If that is the case...next weekend will be full of riding.  Let me know if you are up for a ride around here. :)  I am looking to make it over toward Petoskey one more time.  I might have to throw it in the truck...but I will travel a little bit. :P  Temps look to stay at or below freezing.  Mid to high 20s are in the works through next Sunday.  I love it!  I just hope we actually DO get snow on top of the cold.

I apologize for not having much exciting to talk about lately...this house stuff has been bugging the crap out of me.  Finding the "perfect" house is almost impossible...and getting the financing portion of it figured out is even worse.  I spoke with a buddy in the mortgage business...and my situation is slightly off.  The wife is going to finish up school in the next year or so...it is just going to take quite a bit of cash for her to do everything she needs to do.  Hopefully that will not cause issues either.  If you have a newer house for sale...let me know. ;)  Preferably some land too!

Time for me to go to bed...Goodnight from Northern Michigan!
