trails
I'm not sure about your neck of the woods. A couple hours west in the Oregon/Byron area you can pick up decent trails that you can easily ride 100+ miles a day. Trails are not open until the 15th though.

Wingrider is right...trails, especially w of Byron are some of the better in the flat land. Almost any bar in the area has a trail map for $1. Stillman Valley is also a decent trail.

hey, the i&m canal trail starts in rockdale @ rt.6 and mound rd. and goes to utica or buffulo rock. i think its about 60-70 miles one way. their is other parking and offloading west of rockdale at other parks and preserves. mostly flat trail, a little bit of woods. got to have 4 inches to ride though. not a bad trail for the area if snow is good and want to stay local. |

That would be sweet. That little bit of snow that was dropping on Saturday made me remember I had work to do on the sled....

Thanks for the info. I just bought a lake house in Lawton, just south of 94 and right off of the trail. Let it snow! |
