Friday December 18, 2009
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.
