Its still cold and very few flakes around. Trails are still pretty decent, I rode 36 miles yesterday mostly around Lake Margrethe and behind camp grayling. I even found spots that were 8 to ten inches of untouched snow. All in all a really good 2.5 hour ride. My buddy Big John is riding up to the bridge today and I hear north of gaylord has had much better snow. The system snow predicted for friday has now dissapeared. Also exciting news for downtown Frederic with the opening this morning of A Better Place Bakery & Cafe. They are located just south of the Frederic Inn and next to the post office. I stopped and bought some scones and a big fat blue berry muffin. So next time you are up here stop in and check them out. Ironically I am wearing my shirt that says The Polar Vortex is our friend….I just wish our friend would drop some snow on us. Thanks for checking in. Pete
