TOMORROW's START:

The county two track that we use each lap is my only real course concern for tomorrow. If it's too icy or torn up from Friday night back road drivers, we have two options.

1. Time Trial format: we would have riders help seed the field and start riders every 1-3 minutes.

2. Le Man's: where riders will line up across 100-200' away from their bikes and at the start will run to their bikes before then accessing the WST right away and by passing the two track completely.

This is only if the two track isn't rideable for whatever issue. Otherwise we will use the 1.5 mile two track to access the back side of the Winter Sports Trail loop. Riders will then alternate directions each lap. Clockwise has more uphills and Clockwise has more downhills. Might want to keep that in mind as you surge or recover on the 1.5 two track each lap.

BIG THANK YOU TO PHIL HELSEL & his company WOODSTAR FORESTRY for providing the firewood to keep our fireplace at the pavilion roaring during the race and beyond.


See you in the morning!

Groomers have been watching the weather for forecast closely and are telling me to expect to be near perfect trail conditions tomorrow for the FATTY CADDY! 🤯

SIGN UP TODAY for the 1 or 2 hour winter fat bike race or the 2.5 mile snowshoe race on the Cadillac Winter Sports.

Proceeds go to the Manton High School Track & Field teams.

TRAIL CONDITIONS UPDATE:

We've been getting snow and drizzle on and off today. At 7 pm temps are supposed to drop below freezing and system snow moves in!

We have groomers lined up for tonight (Corey) and tomorrow morning. (Scott) The trails should be in near PERFECT SHAPE!!! Thank you groomers as well as all the local trail users for using good judgement during our warmup.

Pictures are from an hour ago. If you look closely you can see my boot prints. The trail is rock hard with a small crust layer. It's supposed to stay at 33-34 degrees this afternoon with a real feel of 25. At 7 pm the temps drop will drop to 25.

I have a groomer going out tonight and one lined up for the morning as well. The morning groomer will also be armed with two large bags of sand! ...just in case. His focus will be on downhills with corners.

Remember, you had been telling yourself that it if conditions were better you would have signed up.

CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY GOING TO BE PERFECT! Sign up now!

........WEATHER RELATED UPDATE.......

I was just out at the trail and it is in great shape! Solid. No sinking at all, but the high temp was only 34.

Thursday's and Friday's weather forecast looks rough, possible 50 and rain. HOWEVER, it's supposed to get down to freezing Friday night and there will be system snow coming in on Saturday.

My prediction is it will be soft. We have a solid base thats been established by several large snow systems and an ice storm. I'll groom the trail after the races so whatever ruts the race puts into the trail, they'll be groomed out afterwards.

IN SHORT: THE RACE IS ON!!!

Sign up today!
