Ride to Speculator & Wells: Update 3/12/19
The day started snowy and C8/Sabael trail was a nice pathway out of town. Indian Lake and Lewey Lake were windswept crossings and the Campsites were the usual brutal trek. Two Miles from Hell was a good ride down to Perkins Clearing. And the groomers were out there bulldozing the bumps and laying down the […]
Ride Day! Update 2/20/19
Wasn’t sure where I was gonna head today. So I just started up my sled this morning and hoped the groomers were able to put Humpty-Dumpty back together again. Around Indian Lake, the groomers did get out and it looked really good: Since I hadn’t been to points south for much of the winter, I […]
Tough Sledding Continues: Update 12/28/18

Those customary snow bowls on the south-central Adirondacks still hold over a foot. But that’s not the whole story: […]
Tough sleddin’ ahead: Update 12/17/18
We dodged a bullet last weekend, but I don’t think we’ll be so lucky for the next go around. The top of the snow pack is crusty from the sleet/freezing rain mixture we got on Sunday. We did get a bit of snow mixed in, but not enough to move the needle up for us. […]
