Trail Conditions
No Risk it, No Biscuit! Moose River Plains
When riding from Lake Durant into Newcomb a couple weeks ago, I was prepared for that to be my last for winter 2023-24. But we live in the land of “ya never know!” I don’t pull the battery out for off-season storage until end of April. After Sunday’s brutal round of snow removal, I wanted […]
My last ride of the season! (probably)

Unloaded at Northville-Placid trailhead parking lot by 11am and headed out. The mile of S84 between […]

After morning fog and drizzle lifted and sun broke through, I couldn’t stay inside and let the afternoon go without spinning track. Especially […]
Perkins Clearing snowmobiling play day
