Winter trail report: 1/21/22

tl;dr: Ice. Lots of ice. Snow dances, folks! That being said: the beach is looking 👌 from GH to Port Sheldon! In other news, we have our first winter trail report dedication! This week’s report is dedicated to the fine folks at Motion Dynamics Corporation. Have you gotten fat tires on the 14 miles of groomed bliss at Owasippe yet this winter?? Incredible, right?! That’s due to brand new grooming equipment we were able to purchase for the O with a generous donation from MDC!

Thanks, Motion Dynamics Corporation!
