We suited up and headed out a bit earlier than yesterday. Trail 6 was a little rough but trail 1 was in decent shape. It was groomed last night and we were the first sleds on it. After we got through Marenisco, we ran into some wet areas that had boulders and logs in the trail. If you ride in this area, be alert, because you never know what will be over the next hill. We got to the Gogebic Lodge and had breakfast. Not many people have been riding the lake, so we decided to take trail 1 all the way to town. We found more rocks and logs, but the trail was as good as it could be with the amount of snow on the ground. After getting gas in town we headed down trail 13 to the south end of the lake. 13 was in decent shape with the usual wet spots, rocks and logs. Then we got on trail 2 East to Rogers Bar. We ate a sandwich there and then headed for home. Unless we get 6-12″ of snow tonight, we are going to take tomorrow off. If it was mid March, I would probably go out and ride, but since we have the entire season to go, I’d rather not tear up our equipment.
I started tracking our rides and it kind of worked. Check out our track below:
