We got a late start today because we slept in after our long ride yesterday. We left Porcupine Lodge around noon and headed for Wakefield. We rode down trail 1 which was in awesome shape, to trail 8.
Trail 8 was also in great shape. We arrived just outside Wakefield at Bingos.
We fueled up and ate some pizza. Eugene waited on us and as usual is always full of stories. Be sure to stop in and say hello if you get a chance! We left Bingos and headed east on trail 8 until we hit trail 2. We rode 2 until we hit trail 11. 11 had to be the worst trail we saw in the last 3 days. The main reason being they haven’t cleared much of this trail.
There are a lot of wet spots which is probably why it hasn’t been cleared. There were logs and branches all over the place. They also have most of it plowed due to logging. If you decide to ride this trail, use EXTREEME CAUTION!
We finally got to the sno-bunnies trails (of Presque Isle, Wisconsin) and the trails were awesome! They were recently groomed and smooth as glass! We were headed for Skyview Lodge, but after we arrived we realized that they are not open on Tuesdays 🙁
We then decided to go to the P.I. Pub instead. We had an excellent pizza and then headed for Bergland. The first 10 miles of trail 1 out of Presque Isle are pretty wooded and therefore a little on the rough side. We got lucky once again and once we hit the trail 2 junction things really smoothed out. We rode trail 1 all the way to trail 8. When we got on 8 my brother noticed that his sled was making a noise. We pulled the clutch guard off and noticed a chunk out of the belt. After changing the belt, the gas stations in town were closed so we stopped by the Hoop and Hollar to get some gas. Then we headed for White Pine. Trail 1 just got better and better. I felt like we were riding on a freeway! It was wide and flat!
