OK, I know it's still early and friggin' cold out side but I thought I'd get this topic going. How about either March 29 or April 5th as our first ride date? Location TBD based on snow depths. (We want 100% dirt-no ice or snow)
Last year we rode in early April at Leota, but ice was too prevlent so we loaded up and went to Gladwin where we were treated to nice sandy soil and a nice warm 45-50 degree day. I know Gladwin is whooped and wide enough to drive a truck through it so It'll have to be our last resort. Any ideas of a good early riding spot? West side of the state will proaably thaw out late as will the northern most ORV routes too.
Mid February gets me thinking about the dirt. Meanwhile I'll ride the snow with my spikes but can't wait fior some dirt too! :aj:
