I took a ride with my buddy Cale today. We left the house at 9am and headed east on trail 6. It was much improved today over yesterday, they actually groomed it! After getting to Presque Isle, we got gas and then headed to the Outpost Cafe for breakfast. (as of today, the Presque Isle mini mart is out of trail stickers) Unfortunately for us the cafe is closed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday! We decided to head for Gogebic Lodge in search of a trail sticker. We arrived and had a soda while we waited for them to figure out their trail sticker printer. After 45 mins of waiting we headed up the lake to Fish tales pub n grub. We ate the always delicious walleye breakfast. After breakfast we rode the lake to Bergland and got gas. Then we took trail 8 West to trail 102 North.
All trails were in excellent shape up until we hit trail 11 north. I would give every trail at least a 9 and probably a 10. Once we were on trail 11 North, it got a bit choppy. We rolled into Silver City and stopped at foothills to warm up. If you stop there, make sure you don’t bring your helmet into the dining room because the helmet police (the waitress) will show up! We left there and headed down trail 1 back into Bergland. Trail 1 was a bit choppy also, probably a 7-8. If they’d run their groomers up there they would be in perfect shape like the other trails we rode on. We got gas at Bergland and then took the lake down to Gogebic Lodge. Then we took trail 1 into Presque Isle and trail 6 West. As usual, the Presque Isle trails were pretty beat.
