Trail Report 12-24-09
Diesel Racer
Happy Holidays from your friends at NH Bureau of Trails.
Much needed colder temps have arrived and all we need is more snow.
Many clubs are working the trails and still removing downed trees from
the early season snow.
Some gates are still closed. Riders should use extreme caution.
Caution must be used as there is open water bars. Conditions are early
season.
Riders should avoid open bodies of water and stay off of ice.
