I took a ride down to the McKeever Bridge today to check out the river. As of this afternoon there was only a few spots that the ice was damming up some. Nothing to worry about for now. However, that could change fast if the ice breaks up to fast.
I may get another ride in this year yet. It will be limited on where I'll be able to go. All depends on if the forecast comes true or not. But we all know how that has gone this winter. Figure on the low side of the predicted amount at best.
Believe it or not there was some sled action on the trail cams today. Winter is forecasted to return later this week. Cross your fingers the base holds till it gets here.
Is it or isn't it over for the season? Long range forecast is showing some hope that it may not be over just yet. With winter returned and maybe 17 inches of snow to go with it. The thousand-dollar question is will the base holds till the cold returns. I don't have that answer and it's going to be a wait and see for sure.
Last Friday night Tony and I rode to Wigwam and over all conditions where pretty good for a Friday night. This week I think you may still be able to make it. But I'm sure you are going to find some ugly along the way.
