FPUI trails have all been groomed - Ed @ 11:32 PST
FPUI trails have all been groomed in the last two days and trails are in good shape. There are some rough spots and bare corners from the throttle jockeys and wanabes. We need more snow and maybe will get some next Tuesday. Be careful out there and ride to the right.

FPUI trails are all opened grooming is in full swing - Ed @ 11:36 PST
FPUI trails are all opened grooming is in full swing with this last six inches of snow.Groomers were out yesterday, all night, and as I type this there are still three groomers out trying to get the trails smooth for you. As you yield to the groomers in your travels give the volunteers a thumbs as they go by, don’t forget with out them and there hard work there would be no trails. Trails that were groomed are C7P(bike path) from Randall to St. Johnsville,S72 to Logtown Rd,C7D From Epratha south to Viets and from Mill Rd to the County line, S78B from Viets north to the county line through St. Johnsville, S73from, Gros Rd east and north trough Saltspringville on to the groomer barn, S75A from McDonalds to Krutz Rd, as well as some club trails in between that the groomers need to make loops. So as you can see our volunteers were quite busy the last few days and the trails are in great shape with some rough spots due to plowed ground and corn fields where the wind has blown the snow away. Think snow and ride safe, its going to be really cold the next few days and I don’t know what the grooming will be I’ll give you an update when we groom more.

FPUI trails are now all open - Ed @ 20:54 PST
FPUI trails are now all open including the Bike Path C7P it took 8 hours to open all the gates and groom. Conditions range from bad to great. The bike path came out the best we are working on grooming the rest of our trails and they are starting to look better,that rain and sleet really helped. There are a lot of thin spots out there and a lot of rough spots so ride with care and pray for more snow. I’ll be on here as often as I can and let you know what’s getting groomed.Tomorrow we are headed west on C7H and all of C7D then south to Saltspringville & Sprout Brook. Bob groomed on the North side of the river to McDonalds today and will go out tomorrow probably to Ephrath. Until later ride safe.

Tried to groom today - Ed @ 16:31 PST
We went out and tried to groom today with little luck. The snow is too fluffy and dry it will not pack. Some of our trails are open and the going is rough. The bike Path will remained closed till we get enough snow that we can groom and get a base started. We may get more snow this weekend and there is supposed to be another storm coming next Tuesday so we should be able to do some good with the groomers by then. In the mean time if you have to ride ride slow because it is rough and you will help to pack the snow if you go fast it blows the snow away. I let you all know when we have groomed.
