Trails have been groomed and we will go out today and tomorrow night again.
You can ride this weekend but it is tough until it gets really set. I think Sunday will be one of the better days for the weekend. The overnight setup helps the trail the most.
We could use HOK skiers and snowshoes to help pack.
Next weekend is Owatonna’s Snow Weekend Out, and Straight River will be doing fat bike demos on Saturday. If you’re thinking of trying fat biking come down to Kaplan’s Woods between ten and noon.
OTA will have the new groomer out and a fire in the parking lot. Come out and take a lap. I haven’t seen a lot of the regulars out…
When you go out make sure you do a lap or two on the first mile. We want to get it firm enough so new riders won’t struggle…too much… I get a kick out of looking at the tracks of riders in new snow. Tree stops, body prints, and bike prints. Good times!
If anyone wants to do a group ski or Snowshoe, let us know — fun to get a crew together!
Get out and enjoy the woods they are a good place to hide from this wind.
OTA.
