We plan our first trip of the year every year the weekend before Christmas weekend. This year we are leaving Thur afternoon and riding Fri, Sat, and a little on Sunday.

We Stay at the Americinn in Ironwood. If any one would like to join us let me know asap so we can get a group rate on the rooms.

how many in your group, what style of riding, how many miles per day,any drinking, etc etc etc?

 

[rawfish]

So far we have 8. Most are fast riders but a few in the group are slower and we always just pick a spot ahead to wait. It has not been a problem in the past. We typically will do about 170-200 miles a day. Mix it up with trail riding up and around lake Gogebic, and also trails up to porkies and boon docking up in the area.

We don't drink much but a a few will have a drink or two during lunch, breaks etc....

what kind of sleds does everyone ride? are they reliable? where you guys from? group age range?

 

[rawfish]

From RMK's to Nytro's and Skidoo's its a big melting pot! Some will be coming from the twin cities area in mn and some from Eau Claire WI area. We typically all meet north of Eau Claire and drive up together. Age range is about 27-50's!

we are pretty much 99% trail riding, but are willing to boondock if we are with someone who knows the areas....will this be a problem?

Ok cool I know the trails well up their so we can have fun and not worry about running out of gas or getting lost. I booked rooms for my group today forgot the rates were 95 and 100 for the weekend. Its at the Americinn in Ironwood MI. Pm me and i'll give you my info so you can call them and reserve your room. The rate might change as we get more people to go.

[rawfish]
