Rode my 700SX to work today (30 miles) I rate the trail conditions as a B-
Most of the strait sections are really nice with the corners being choppy and thin in areas even though we have knee deep snow.
Sorry no pics, dark when I leave home and work.

Good for you, rules! :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:
I stopped at the Blue Bear staging area on M-72 on the way home Sunday night just to drool at all of the sled tracks on the trail. I have a friend who is a groomer driver in Grayling and he says that they will be grooming the AuSable trails this year, even though the DNR isn't cooperating. It sounds like some areas aren't going to be as lucky. He was out panning on Sunday night. Can you imagine riding on trails that haven't been groomed, even after a couple of weeks? Glad to hear you've had a chance to get out!

Last night I rode down to the Hideaway Bar on Starvation Lake and the trails had not been touched by the groomer, found out from the bartender that the Club was waiting for the DNR to reword the grooming agreement (which did happen) and as of today all groomers are supposed to be running.
