grassy loops down to sargent basically. Not usually mikes mile. there is some new stuff hopefully coming on line too around the bottom of Newtons, etc. Hopefully some of the MHT stuff is groomed this year, but that remains to be seen. you get a fatty?

well, what a time to procure a new fat bike. i intend on getting out for the first time next week when its... ahh.. a good base. just have to install about 500 carbide studs. i will try to post regular trail reports.
just curious, do people ride the 27 connector or whatever its called (101 / 102) from the outdoor center to CF trailhead? seems like it could be pretty good if you trust your bike / skills... maybe i'll start on grassy loops first :D

I start at Campbell Field. Old Gauge to Grassy Loops, then back to get Meade. The riding was good this past week. Good luck with studs, I’m on Snowshoes with studs. I didn’t need them last week but we will need them this weekend.

i saw video of meade trail from matt stevens and a video that might have been posted by spencer from the airport trailhead. wow. like wow. good to hear restoration work is already planned. seems like things should be firming up now!
