I am not giving up just yet, there were a few people that rode today on a cove in houghton lake. They said it was safe with over 5 in of ice. I will be out next weekend if it holds true.

Got out on Lake Cadillac last weekend and turned a ton of laps. Estimates if at least 60 bikes out. 10" of ice right by the public launch

Wish I would have known that. Always like meeting new to me riders.
I won't ride this weekend, booked solid.

Not sure if you guys know Whiskey Creek has an ice oval. Stopped by this past Saturday for a snowmobile poker run. Track was open to the public. Might want to give them a call as I don't have any more details.

Don't say that, we still have all of February.
This rain will make some nice smooth ice if it gets REALLY cold soon.

I have ridden the last two weekends just northeast of Grand Rapids.
8" on the 12th.
5" yesterday. The sun really turned the ice bad yesterday afternoon but I got my fix in and let my buddy ride ice for his first time. I think he is on here. Maybe he will see this!
