Actually took a half day today and got out on the trails. Rode through Crow-Hassan park, made a loop through Wright County, and back to the Millside Tavern for lunch. Twisty park trail was pretty good still, but starting to get a little beat up. Probably be toast after this weekend. All the fields were nicely groomed, but kinda soft and loose during the warmest part of the day. Same thing in Elm Creek Park. Twisty trail was nicely groomed for the most part. Closest thing to "up north" riding you can get. The weekend will take it's toll. Hopefully the temps stay in the 20's at least, and the groomers can keep workin' their magic!

Plywood palace is the place alright.We heard so much about it we had to stop a couple years back.WOW The double bungalo is great for the big big group we had it a few times.Is #4 the cabin by the road? That is a sweet cabin also and holds lots of people also.(12)?

I will send that Vikings jab up with the group. Darrel is a great guy ta work with been going there since 2003..Staying back for perch fest ( liberty beach ) with the kids. Some of the guys are gonna go off trail since the snow has been better than before there. i like the place cuz after riding the bar is in walking distance with good prices. Wish there was a pump there though....gonna blast from the farm on friday ( hope so ) and see how the trails are too the west and north of little elk lake. shooting for about 150-180 miles.......later
We stopped at the Palace this past Sat.(wow he redid the place)I have been goig to Tri Lake since 1995,the sno-mo club has been going there since the late 70's(i think).there are just a few of us that ride so we stay intown because of the $$$. Sure are a lot of places out in the bush where the sign's posted STAY ON TRAIL and there are tracks all over heck.Not a good deal.
Have fun at Perchfest.

trails seem to be getting ugly along the highway but the woods are still getting by. Did not see any noticable signs of grooming when I went too the farm today. although the ISOC race at ERX Park was looking real good ! Maybe next time we will swing in and watch. Will be there on March 11th if conditions stay okay they are making the track into a oval, a high banking oval for some leaf spring racing action......If it's still on I will be there !
