Poto: Potawatomi

[WildWoody]

Rode it last night with the new snow. Many trees down from the wind and a ton on trees hanging over the trail from the weight of the snow.

New to this forum. 2 friends & I tried to ride Saturday morning Dec. 3. Can confirm many trees and branch's down. Was so beautifull though. Hope the season is not over.

Not to worry. Poto is a great winter ride and can be fun to xc ski/hike when conditions don't allow a ride.

Trail is clear from shortcut to Silver LK. and back to the short cut as of today. Bridges and boardwalks snow covered and slick. Falling temps will make it a great ride with just a few patches of pizza cutter trail tread.
Gosling loop , aka northern loop , will be looked at Thur/Fri.

Thanks, Greg!

Tree down over the trail on that fun treacherous drop just before the Blind Lake bridge. Comes where you really let loose. Also, a couple down not too far before the 1st Patterson Lake road crossing. Chain saws needed.

Those have been removed. Thanks for posting up.

Now if I could just do that on a bike. Nah,then I couldn't smell the multi flora rose when I'm ride'n.

Anyone out over the weekend? What are the conditions like? Thinking of riding late morning tomorrow

[G.Cook]

The earlier the better.

Started at 23°F and finished full loop at 24°F. The sun was out in full force but it couldn't overcome the frozen trail. I would say 30% crunchy snow. It seemed liked the only slightly soft spot was going around Dead Lake. Even the southern exposed portions were solid. Studs were not really required. I couldn't believe there weren't any trees or branches down across the trail with all wind last night. But then I was second or third tracks today. If get's any warmer, you might want hold off.

Frozen ! .....sure would be nice if people would quit riding when it's soft and stop prying rocks out of the trail tread

You didn't get the memo, rocks, jumps, and drops are prohibited on Michigan trails. Somebody was doing the same things at Highland were you join the C loop. If its not babybutt smooth the newbs get scared.
