Hi Frank......how did you get to Carrabasset....down past the Bigelow Lodge...on the Back Fly loop.
Didn't get to ride this weekend with Easter and all...but heading up on Thursday and may go over to Eustis or down to Andover , or maybe both. Do you know if youCan you get back up into Caribou Valley from south of Straten...we ude to do that just north of the entrance to Sugarloaf. It then makes a nice loop back to Rangeley.

We stayed west in Stratton and ran the ridge trail to Ayottes. On the way back we took the alt trail on the right to Bigelow Lodge (main road) not plowed but groomed flat as a pancake! I saw the right on the way to Carrabasset that goes to Sugarloaf but we didn't take it. There is actually more snow in some spots than in Rangeley. We sneaked in a ride Sat and headed home early sat for easter dinner at 2...lol
Trails are real nice but The Lodge is closed and the trail across the river has changed to Ayottes. It runs across the bridge and then you go right to Ayottes or left to continue to Kingfield and on the Black Fly loop.
