I'm heading out for a ride with some of the boys staying here at the motel. The lake effect band, that gave us our snow today has shifted south and I was told that Raquette Lake got close to a foot today also. Not much else to report, besides poeple are having fun.
Today's Video for.........
Thanks Steve for the updates!! We r here all week and we will stop in to say hello as we all want to thankyou in person!!
ReplyDeleteI'd say 6" from about 7:30PM Monday (when it turned over from light mist to wind cranking snow) to 9AM Tuesday was the real total here in town. Picked up another inch or two during the day today as well. Trails were great....roads OK for the most part but why Big Moose Road was plowed so low around 10AM is beside me. Some think the plow assumed another 2-3 inches was gonna fall but still this was a real grind plow job down all the way to Stillwater Road. Didn't need to rideon it though but the 1 mile from the trail to the flow. I don't think many people know where to find the good riding and on which days. Works for me as I do and seem to more time than not have excellent mid-week rides. This video they're hopping onto the small lake (not sure the name) between Long Lake and Raquette coming from the north side heading south.
ReplyDeleteThe lake between raquette and long lake is forked lake.
DeleteYep,that is Forked Lake at the norhern end near the dam. Just a small section. Great ride to ADK hotel on Long Lake. Made the trip twice this past weekend.
