OTA

Owatonna Kaplan’s woods trails are in the best shape of the season. I groomed tonight just to smooth out areas and do a final pack. When you go out this week you will fine about half inch fresh snow over hard packed snow. Stay to the center or high on the trail and you will […]

Trails are groomed and in need of riders.

Trails have setup nice and are good riding. Some of the tracks I’ve seen it looks like tire pressure was too high. If you’re slipping or not able to ride up hills you need to lower your tire pressure. Also ride towards the center or inside on the benched hillsides. A good 10” from the […]
