I took a drive Easter Sunday hoping to find a mountain bike trail that had dried out enough to ride. March and early April brought one significant snowstorm after another to Northern Wisconsin. The snowbanks in my driveway were still 6 feet high, but 70 miles south the snow was mostly gone. Trail condition info was scant, so I figured it was worth investigating.
It was wishful thinking and, as it turned out, I would have had to drive about four hours to get on a decent open trail. What I found instead was plenty of soft ground, waterlogged gravel
