Wood City Riders Trail Report – January 13, 2022

Cloquet Minnesota

We have made significant progress in opening up our trail system and nearing fully open and fully groomed status.

Big Lake Trail East & West – Both groomers are out on the Big Lake Trail today Friday 1/13 working west from the shop towards Big Lake.  They plan to get as far as the Lake.  If timing allows, they’ll work further towards the Cromwell T junction at the Peat Plant.  Otherwise that section will be opened next week.

Iverson Trail – The Iverson trail has been groomed several times and is in good condition.

Lumberjack/Brookston Connector/Saginaw Spur – Lumberjack was groomed from the Clubhouse all the way north yesterday 1/12 and is in good shape.  Brookston Spur was double groomed yesterday and is in good condition.  Saginaw Spur was groomed for the first time yesterday, and still has sections where it is brushy and there is some chop.  Use caution at the 2^nd bridge coming from the west, as it shifted, and the approach has moved. 

Cloquet/Scanlon City Trail – Groomed up nicely this week.

Black Bear Casino Connector – The Casino connector was groomed up nicely this week.  There will be brushing crews out there cleaning up next week or the following, please watch for them during the week.

Esko Extension – Groomed this week and ready to ride.

RIDE WITH CAUTION AND REPORT ANY UNSAFE CONDITIONS VIA WCR FB, WEB or TEXT MSG.

All water crossings on the system including Big Lake and the St Louis River @ Hwy 2 are not checked or staked by the club.  Riders are crossing the River @ Hwy 2.  A reminder to stay away from the bridge pillars due to eddy currents.  We hear that the Big Lake crossing is slushy and rough.

Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober!
