Just got back from the U P and we rode 725 in 3.5 days as we had a slight mechanical issue to deal with. The guys at M&M got us going again, THANKS Chad and the gang.

Nothing special, not overly big moguls, mostly smaller bumps. Getting very thin Saturday with the traffic. Groomers were out like crazy but all the traffic just wore them down, they need a good 3-4" in order to have good trails by next weekend. On Saturday we rode west from Mercer, then up to Hurley and back down the grade. Most of the trails were great until we got to the Bear Chasers bar on island lake, from then on up to Hurley it was VERY thin and snirty. Later that night we put on 70 miles and were probably no further than 10-15 miles away from mercer by car and never rode the same trail. That was a great ride, no traffic where we went, tight and twisty, but the trails were still a little rough. Friday we rode From Mercer, to Hurley, over to Bergland and down thru bruce crossing to watersmeet, then over to marinesco and down to presque isle and back. All of the U.P. Riding we did was great, no traffic, mostly freshly groomed trails, a lot better base, and we stopped in to say hi to mrs. running bear for the 3rd time this year LOL.

490 miles, 3 short trips to Paw Paw/Allegan Michigan area. Only place close that's had good snow. Good is questionable at times though. Yesterday morning the trail was groomed flat, but had alot of dirt/ice chunks/rocks/wood mixed in. Roads have little icy base on them. Time for new carbides. Finished last years off. Snows probably gone now since the rain and middle 40's temp. Start over again!!
