I went out for a little bit today...but found that most trails in my neck of the woods are pretty dirty. I did not ride long because the snow was a little like dirty mashed potatoes. Lots of snirt and little rocks popping through. With the freezing drizzle or flat our rain we might see over the next couple days I really question whether or not they Moosejaw ride will be worthwhile this year. if I am riding through mud puddles...it certainly will not be. A decent amount of the ride goes along side of roads...so I would guess those areas will be in absolutely terrible shape on Saturday. I am not trying to discourage anyone...but I certainly do not want you to believe we will have feet of base to ride on.
I did find some two tracks that have not been ridden on all season (I have watched them...) and that left a bit of enjoyment tonight...but overall it was just a quick trip to see how trails were holding up so I could report. The further north you go they get a little better...but it is also pretty swampy north of here. Who knows...I guess I am just being negative. :P If you know of anywhere that is public land and has lots of snow to play in...let me know. I will gladly keep it a secret and only visit it with you. :P If you have private land and would like to ride with someone...let me know. I have a video camera for my sled now...and need to get some decent footage for a YouTube video. :) That is hard to get on nasty trails and narrow two tracks.
Enough negativity for now...as I mentioned freezing drizzle and possibly rain are being forecast...with highs in the mid to upper 30s all through the weekend. :( Cross your fingers for some snow!
