I like the links posted on top of that though.
Rough trails last week for my group???
- Thread starter tomcat
- Start date
It is sad that we plan our trips and expect perfection, travel hours, prepare meals, pack our gear,etc. And then we reach our destination to find all is not what we expected. It's not hard to explain, nor am I making excuses for what some may have encountered for poor trails. But the fact is, our groomers cannot give you a perfect ribbon, when temps are over 32 degrees, the traffic has multiplied by 100%, and riders are on the groomed trail immedantly after the groomer has passed, all of this factors into poor trails and nothing can change the facts, warm temps + lots of traffic + no time to set up trails = bumps that turn into moguals when there's extra traffic and stop and go drivers. If you head north, south ,east or west there is always the possibility you will encounter poor conditions. We have traveled west to worse conditions then this past week, it's luck of the draw, and we need to all relax and eat a snickers bar ( man up everyone)!
I understand your concern about heading up and not getting whats expected. I think its really all about your expected outcomes. The first time I rode in the UP I had an absolute blast and bragged how good it was. A guy in our group complained how bad it was! I still have no idea what he was talking about. We just went to the radar runs in St. Germaine last weekend and I expected poor trails due to warm weather, huge numbers of sleds, etc... I actually thought the trails were pretty good but my expectations were kind of low. Many people were complaining about the trails but honestly, what did you expect? To be honest, as long as the trails are rideable i am happy. If its bumpy, I try my best to head away from normal traffic patterns and if that doesnt work I will ride off the trail on lakes, no back country riding yet for me, im just not prepared yet. This is all my opinion.
