2nd North Shore Trail ride ( Canceled)

[leech~~]

Due to so many cancelations and other scheduling issues with some others, this ride will be canceled.

I am still up for a ride if anyone wants to meet up or if there is a group that will be riding in the area that wouldn't mind a Tag-a-long please send me a note. I sure would hate to miss a trail ride on some of the best snow we have had in years. Thanks. Leech~~ pineconesta at usfamily com

Wow no one is riding any where up north this weekend?

Yes, I am reduced to Begging!

Please help a brother out!

I could be interested in a trail ride if it was on the right day. Shoot me an email too guys. We were talking about running up to the pequaywan lake area one day next week if there's any snow left.

Our plans changed late last night when one of the guys had to back out unexpectedly, so we ended up going to the Twig store and leaving from there. What a great choice that turned out to be! The trails were as good as any I've seen for grooming and scenery. We pulled out around 8:30 and went east to the North shore trail, then turned off onto the Pequaywan trail up to Hoyt lakes. We were the first ones on freshly groomed trails for nearly 75 miles. From Hoyt Lakes we went north to Biwabik and did a small loop in that area and then took the Laurentian trail to Virginia. Headed back south through Eveleth back down to Gilbert and back to Twig, 221 miles total. This trip will go down in the books as "the great deer dodge" though, in those miles we saw approximately 100 or more deer. Many were yarding on the trails in large groups of 15 or more at a time, several smaller groups of 5 to 10, and a lot of pairs.

We may have seen you guys when we were leaving. Were you the three vehicles in the place across the highway from the Twig store?

[ripstick]

Mac was that you unloding a covered trailer across from the pumps? I was filling up a tan chev with a trail on the back. Unloaded across at the bears den.

[Macgyver55]

Yup that was me, we were in the red GMC 4x4 dually!

Where did you guys ride?

[Surface Tension]

Mac I was wondering if you might be starting out in Twig. I didn't ride(went fishing) but meet up with he crew in the morning at Bears Den. They went to Pequaywan and back.

I'll look out for the red dually for now on stop if I see you.

I might be a little bios but IMO, there is no need to trailer further North then Twig as the trails and woods are much the same and I'd rather ride North there then trailer North.

Hey it was nice meeting you guys as well. Thanks for asking me along on the LoonAsea ride! Also, thanks to Al for being the trail guide for the day! I think he put on about twice the miles we did on the same trip, just bombing back and forth waiting for us to catch up or flying over every hill or dip he could find! I had a great time and maybe next year we'll just call it the LoonAsea ride and maybe we'll get more people to join in! The trails where just about as nice as they could be. I'm sure this warm weather is going to take it's toll on them after this week! RipStick I will have to say that what you did to your sled seat was really SLICK! I don't think you will be using that on it again if you want to stay on top of it! Here's a few shots of the gang!

Leech ,,,,Did you find a new helmet at L&M????

We rode west sunday and put on as many miles as we did sat but the weather may take its toll on the trails this week ,,,Glad we got out when we did

No! L&M must close at about 6:00pm or so, not sure why they would close that early on a night when everyone would be out shopping? The mall area was a buzz of people. They are losing some cash closing that early. I maybe up that way again fishing the shore or some of the small lakes for Splake so I'll stop in again. Sounds like you guys had another good day riding. Post pic's if you took any!
