Someone could plan a place to get together in Wausau. I bet it would be a great ride from there to Green Bay and back. I never rode that trail but I have heard of it. Has anyone ever taken that run before and how long does it take?

nope never taken it but nice idea

never did it, but want too. sounds like fun.

could count me in :div20:

That would be a long haul, but nonethe less, let me know when your going to do it.

:div20: id be up for it

Jesus that is probably 1.5 hrs in a car going 70mph! That would be a little long I think.

I've never been on that trail, but Me and my buddies sometimes go up to my grand parents cabin and sled between phillips and Ladysmith. It seems like those trails NEVER get abused. The last 3 times I went up, the trails North East of Ladysmith are absolutely perfect, and never crowded. It must now be a very popular area to ride. It would be a longer drive for the people in southern WI (Like me) But it would be worth it for the good trails.

I guess there is no guarantee that the trails would be smooth either though

Yeah , so thats only like 1 hour on a sled going 90 MPH!

J/K, It depends what you like to do, I like riding long and hard, some people would rather stop more often and not make a job out of it.

count me in!! in with the fast group :banana:

Sorry, thats not gonna work, you drive a doo! :augen41: :banana: :fluffy:

Just Kidding!

Lets make a plan! If we get any snow this year, I am definetly in

Well, I chatted with a guy on here last year and he lives in wausau. He said he ran that so I would figure going along 29 with little to no towns it should be like the hwy. Anyways it just seemed like good conversation, I am not real good with organizing things of this sort but if someone else plans it I ride. I dont have a doo but I think my polarmo will do.
:cn:

Me and my brother will probably be in. Not really close to where we ride, but it would be a good time!

I say we go around eagle river wisconsin by my cottage and go from there to houghton michigan and back in one day like me and my buddy do anyone up for that!

lets do it. They have 6-12" on the ground. When we leaving.

I think they need to open the trails first, But I went ditch bangin around here yesterday

I think with the Wausau to GB ride is it 90% RR grade Boring! Wausau to medford or some other would be better but I would be in could go to Antigo from Wausau a little of everything woods fields etc. no a lot of traffic.

Gutty is the Mach in yet? Post some pics on dootalk when she is here.

The Mountain Bay Trail aka Rail Road Grade basically extends from the outskirts of Green Bay to Wausau. My parents live right off of this trail in Gresham, WI. I spend much of the winter using this trail in small doses to connect to some of the local trails. It is a long stretch of trail that allows very high speeds and allows you to get from point A to point B in a quick manner. But it does get boring after a while. The best bet it to get some of the local maps that connect to the Mt. Bay Trail and see where you can get off and explore the local flavor. Stops in Birnamwood (Chet & Emil's), Bowler (Emil's Place) and Gresham (Long Branch Saloon) would be good places to have warm ups. I would strongly suggest a ride to Antigo as well. Nothing like the high speeds of the potato fields. Keep me posted. I would be interested.

I would be up for it... I D.J. at the Luau in Schofield on the weekends... I'm always up in that area... The only problem is they need to have snow!!! In that part of the state its hit or miss.... It's depressing looking out my window here in Waukesha and seeing brown grass..... Espically after coming back from Hurley last weekend.

Pris Rev X600 HO. my parents own a cottage on the Three lakes Chain. We had it for last year and got to ride some of the trails but spent most time in the UP. Always looking for guys to ride with at my level due to father aging he cant push it as hard anymore. if your interested we should hook up some time. Drop me a email at www.sledandsnow@yahoo.com

Mt. Bay trial Rocks. You can hold er down till you see god, and you only have to stop for those dang stop signs.

i live 1 mile from the mountain bay. doesn't take long to get there. its long and stragiht which kinda sucks. the trails aren't open here yet. another good snowfall and they should be.

[
That sounds like fun I would definately go :argue:

I'm with ya on the Phillips area! Price County trails are AWESOME & not much traffic! I've got a cabin in Fifield in-between Phillips & Park Falls! I'll be there over the Christmas weekend! Hope there is good snow! :div20:
WIVIPERMAN

Thats cool, my friend's parents own a cabin on three lakes as well.. We rode from there to landolakes last weekend, and come back and it starts snowing like mad for the whole night, another good snowfall and we should be out on the trails!.

My wife's form Wausau, and her family still lives there, and we live in Green Bay, so this is my kind of ride!!!

Let me know if we can get it going. Railroad grade trails or not, ANY type of ride is better than not riding at all!

The trails in Green Bay are about a 6 inch snowstorm from opening still. We have alot of snow, but not quite enough yet to ride.

yea a ride from wausau to medford is great we did that last year, was a blast and the trail were great once we got past marathon. and they panned the mtb trail today im gettin the itch... but dave marg says 3 more inces mabee sunday will be our lucky day...

Is anyone planning something?????

Someone should set a date somewhere

Let's ride from Eagle River. I say we all stay at the Hiawathan motor inn. As the owner(s) are active and helpful members on the site, why don't we support them as they support us?!

That would be awesome and the only way my parents would go lol.
I could just stay at my cabin!

I would be in for a group ride depending on where it is. Eagle river might be a little far but somthing around Crandon area i would be up for :banana:

Just caught this thread, deffin. gonna keep an eye on as me and my buddy would most likely be up for it. We got a 2 and 4 place trailer too so if we plan right there could be spots available. Sounds like fun though!

yeah we have a four place trailer too, just me and my brother probably going to be there so we would have two empty spots :banana:

Sounds like a good ride, I'm not one to set things up, but the best starting point would be Dale's Weston Lanes, that trail, The Mountain Bay Trail, starts in his backyard! Literally! It is a great run, if someone could try and plan it, I'd ride, if it fits into my schedule.
God Bless Our Troops!

If you guys can decide where to go on a group ride it woudl be much easier to head it off, I have seen wausau as an idea as well as eagle river? Any other ideas then we could all decide on one with a poll. Just an idea

I say we go with Price County. We always have great trails this time of yeat. Only a little more than an hour west of Eagle River to.

Dont care where we go, lets just make it happen.....Keep us posted where and when! :banana:

I am working some things out right now...

HOW DOES LATE FEBUARY SOUND TO EVERYONE? LIKE A LONG WEEKEND, SAY RIDE SAT SUN LEAVE MONDAY?

Yea baby! :div20:

soundin' good to me as long as i have my sled done, season almost half done and still dont have this god forbidden thing worked out :banghead:
