Hello fellow riders… so you were already packing away your sleds- well not so fast. We just received 18-24″ of fresh stuff over the last 48 hours - and its heavy snow - not going to blow away. In mid winter this might of been 36-48″ of snow. Deep snow conditions exist eveywhere up here in the Range country.So, if you have a “Personal day” left on the books use it up. As an FYI, I have no indications of grooming of trails at this moment but who cares- lets ride. I will be out every day this week until the snow is gone.Ride safe, ride right.

Just a quick update on the trail conditions on the Iron Range. The word is out – the trails are in great shape!
I’ve only made a couple of short jaunts but I can say the trails are extremely smooth but icey, and do lack some lubrication factor with them being this icey. Spurs, un-groomed trails, short-cuts and so on have practically no lubrication as they are frozen near solid. So if you’re riding now get off the trail every so often to lube your track and cool your hyfax. The weekend is supposed to be extremely nice… in the mid 20’s so lube shouldn’t be a problem especially with more activity.
REMEMBER, if you can catch me on the trail (and mention the #22) , I’ll fill your sled’s tank with fuel OR if you mention the #8, I’ve got a free night’s stay at the Super 8 in Eveleth . Take your pick…I can’t give both to the same individual! Continue reading ‘Iron Range Trail Update’
