On this ride Jean, Gib and I decided to check out a place on Lake Namakagon called the Loon Saloon and General Store. Leaving from our normal starting spot at intersection 45 at 9:30am we arrived at our destination right around 11am. The trails were in real good condition. I believe the trails north of our location have a little more snow than south of here.
Our route today covered 62 miles and followed a clockwise direction.
Skiers on the Birkebiener ski trail. We cross the trail in a couple spots on our ride today.
At intersection 34. We always stop here to make sure eveything is in order and to blow your nose if needed.
Heading into the twisties on trail 77. Love it.
Sometimes Gib has to wait for me and Jean because I stop for a picture. Playing catch up can be plenty of fun. I like to take it up a notch or two and Jean is no slouch either.
Met a few other riders out on the trails today. This is at Intersection 38.
Along trail 8. Made good time along this section.
Heading out onto Lake Namakagon. Good signage out on the lakes to help you find your destination.
Almost to our destination. We're here in time for lunch, great.
Inside the Loon Saloon. A couple more sleds came in right behind us. The food was good.
It was starting to snow when we left the Loon Saloon. A welcome sight. The various clubs that do the trail grooming have their equipment stored and serviced in various locations thoughout the area. I salute them.
Along trail 8 and 3.
Back into Sawyer County. A couple more of the clubs that keep the trails in great condition.
It ended up to be a great day.
It's to bad the next day I came down with the flu. That took me out of comission thru today, Sunday. Next ride is planned for this Wednesday. I should be back to 100% by then. At 66 years old there is no need to push it.
Have a great week and thanks for looking.
