Thanks for your comments guys, it fuels the want to keep it up.
As for the quads, we all own them and on a nice day it's a great ride, the only problem
is the nice warm day they rut the trail. When it's cold and the trail is firm you can't hurt
the groomed trail. Oh well I just keep smiling and grit my teeth :rolleyes:

See you on the trail
Don

Hi Folks
Well I think I'm going to stop grooming the trails out at the Lake,
I spent the whole day grooming the east side trails today making them nice for the weekend riders
and I just went outside and it's snowing and they will be all covered over with fresh powder, that's BULL SH-T


See you on the Trails
Don :rolleyes:

Hi Folks
We picked up 2 inches overnight, very nice
I normally don't groom on the weekend but the north west side needs it
maybe I'll see you out there.
Don

PS
Spent the day grooming the northwest area, trails are pretty bumpy if your not on the groomed ones, but
about 16 inches in the bush, if you venture off the beaten path.
Met some new riders on the trail today, everyone had big smiles, nice to see the folks enjoying the area.


Picked up a couple of beverage containers on the trail today :(

See you on the trail riding tomorrow
Don

Some days I can't believe how lucky I am to ride in these beautiful forests at the Lake

Well I should go for a ride more often, no one has beat up my Honey Holes yet.
The Misses and I had a great day.
After 60 you should keep the Horns from popping out of your helmet, this
was a 3 advil ride.

See you on the trail
Don

Hi Folks
Don't let this warm weather stop you from coming for a ride, the trails are a bit firm but
put the scratchers down and go. There is still over a foot of snow on my front lawn and deeper in the bush.
The weekend is forecasted to be partly sunny and +2, can't get any better

See you on the trails
Don

Well folks, cloudy and -1 no snow yet, wind blowing hard from the northeast,
I call this a Hudson Bay Chinook, nothing good ever comes from this.

HI Folks
Out for scoot, stay away from the northwest trails, there the Sh--ts too bumpy, I will get the Groomer Guy
out there on Monday. The trails on the east side of the lake are ok, so go east and south of the Lake.
Don

Sunday afternoon ride was ok but the trails are frozen in and are very hard on sliders and cooling system.
Folks we need snow.

Reports to follow
Don

Hey Don put on about 85 klms today it was all good. Trails were hard but with the springs down it was ok the ones with out scratcher's had a few heat stops but the smokies on the fire were the best. It was a bit cool with the wind though. Looks like there may be a few rides left.

Went for a ride at the farm yesterday and in the afternoon the snow softened up and the unused trails were pretty good. Aaaaalmost made it to your trails Don but we found a lot of untouched stuff and the kids were gettin tuckred out.

Be good enough for some sane rides at a sane speed for a couple weeks yet.
