We actually made it out for a decent ride! We left the house and headed toward Harbor Springs. Knowing that there is some logging going on we chose to shoot up toward Pellston. I was thinking we would just head to Alanson from Pellston since the trails in Mackinaw were reportedly horrible. Well, they were. We rode North up the trail and ended up stopping because of the mud and dirt along the rail road grade. Nasty riding for anyone who chose to continue the ride...but there were certainly sleds driving South from Mackinaw. Overall the trails were not in horrible shape. It helped having the few inches of snow that we had received. All said and done we did get a three hour seventy mile ride in. Not bad for somewhat miserable trails! (inland Harbor/Alanson/Pellston were perfect!)
I drove up to Pellston today in a truck...along the way I noted the condition of the trails. HORRIBLE. The areas around the roads are nothing but ice. With temps approaching 40 the last couple days...they are going to be hurting really bad soon. I would suggest sticking with two tracks and low traffic areas. Areas not near roads would be alright as well.
As a side note...a previous co-worker and current friend had a major heart attack yesterday morning. He is still in pretty bad shape but appears to be recovering. My thoughts are going out to him and all of his family while he is in recovery. Get better Don!
