Conditions - 3/20/2008

Good Morning Everyone.

The trail system in our area is still holding it's own, however, the spring sunshine is taking it's toll. While the temps should be around or slightly above freezing for highs, the sunshine will continue to eat at roads and worn trail areas. For the most part there are some really good trails to ride, but some areas will also change quickly with the sun. As the saying goes, we are in the 9th inning of the ballgame, and the end is the 31st. For those who want the last ride of the season, this weekend is probably it. Personally, I plan to enjoy the trails this Saturday, for the final time of the year. Our winter this year has really hung in there, and even with the sunshine, we should see good ground snow levels for a number of weeks into April.
For those who like the other winter activities such as downhill, x-country, snowshoeing, and ice fishing conditions should give us a number of good weeks to come.(See our links page for ski area conditions.)
For those wanting to get your sled out for another ride, call before your trip. Changing forecasts and spring sunshine can rapidly alter conditions. We still have some good trails, I'm just getting worried as we see more sunny days like yesterday.

Drive and Ride Safely
