Ride Report: Tomahawk Loop C
The 3 of us (myself, Chase, and friend Andrew) arrived at the parking area at about 10am. It was a brisk 33 degrees and the ground was frozen. We suited up putting on many layers. Andrew and Chase had some trouble starting their stubborn 4-strokes but the trusty steed (KTM of course) started on the 2nd kick. ;) Anyway, we headed out onto the C loop. It was a blast due to the frozen ground and +/-1" of snow. You could slide right around the corners with ease. Then my throttle stuck! I got it shut down and came to the conclusion that there must have been some moisture in there and it was freezing up. It stopped sticking after a couple of miles. All of us had some good diggers. I myself, hit a stick in 3rd gear and the front end slid out throwing me head over heals. Andrew was going down a 2 track when he hit a patch of ice. It instantly threw him down and he slid for a good 40 ft. Chase was riding a wheelie over some logs when his front end slapped down and his bike slid out. It wasn't a bad day, until we got lost. Some guy told us, "This here 2-track will take you to the parking lot ." He didn't mention the the road split 8 times. We followed some ribbon that I think was up from the trail ride and found some familiar trail that led up to the parking lot.
Whew, The End.
Oh yes, If anyone on here does the trail maintence for the Tomahawk loops, or knows someone who does, it REALLY NEEDS IT!!! Bring a huge saw.
