My Dad and I usually make a day trip and start from Millston at least once per year. We usually ride to the Mug and get lunch, and head back. If we can't get to Hatfield, what would be a good lunch stop? My dad is 78, so though we don't put on Monster miles, I'm just happy to ride with him. So a 60 mile loop is good enough.
Millston a possibility for this Saturday morning?
Thanks

I'm not getting excited about trails opening around here, I'm sure our club trails will not open. County trails are open but with the 2" of wet snow and now a mixed bag of precipitation this storm is a bust in Clark County....at least for now.

That's a bummer. Forcasted 6-9. Probably got 5 and 3 melted since the ground was not frozen.
I'd watch the snow pattern and see where to go. A trip up to Pray would be a good loop. There's a couple places there that server burgers and such. My hunch is in Hatfield you might be able to run along the road and cross the HWY K bridge to get to the Mug. Lets hope for good sledding weather.
Hey Mike! It was nice to meet you 2 weekends ago. That place we saw you at in Pray was cool. Sure was sad to see all that base go to waste. Jim
Jim it was nice to meet you as well. I hope you and your crew had a good ride. We're hoping for a SuperBowl trip back up to the area again.

How did you guys make out in the BRF area?
If you were asking me, our trip to BRF was good. Drove up Friday evening. It's a 4 hour drive from Cedar Rapids, IA. Stayed in a VRBO house outside of BRF where we could jump right on the trail. Did a nice loop -> rode to Hatfield, Pray, Granton, Neillsville & the stopped back to Hatfield & ate pizza at The Mug. Pizza was good. Trails were all in good shape but of course that was before the big warm-up. I was amazed at how much snow they had piled up around there. It really is too bad most of it melted away. I would do it again if that area got pounded with snow.

Trails are closed in Jackson and Clark Counties....we received about 2" of fluffy snow. I don't see trails opening this week but if something changes, I will post it.

Just got done talking with our club president and he said Clark County trails are open or opening tomorrow and that our club trails will be open by the weekend as we are grooming. We received about 4-5" of new snow on Tuesday and more snow predicted for Saturday and potentially next Tues. and Wed. I haven't heard anything about Jackson Cty. trails but would guess they are opening, especially the East section.....get out while you can!
