Fairbanks Snow Travelers

The Trek starts Thursday and there aren't any locally rides in the calendar.

Anyone interested in riding the Whites ?

Tempting...

Thinking about Chatanika Lodge for breakfast and then ride out of there or maybe go to 42 Mile Trail Head, will decide over breakfast

Wish I could go John, but flying out of town until Saturday afternoon. The Whites were great a couple of weeks ago - did the 100 mile loop from Wickersham. Trail was groomed much of the way. Have fun.

what you wanna meet for breakfast?

I have to work!

Yup, figure this would be a easy ride day, have breakfast at 10:00 and go from there.

How many miles where you thinking on riding John? Need to know whether or not I need to rig the sled to haul extra gas.

Kim Reel and her husband and some company are also riding up that way on Saturday they are meeting up at the Fox gas station at 0900. Maybe the two groups will get together....

We are not leading the ride.
We are meeting at the Fox gas station at 0900 and trailering to the south entrance of the white mountains (mile 57) riding to Mount prindle.
I have not been on this trail so I don't know if it's a long or short ride.

Nic, no set plan so it may be a short ride maybe a long one :<0

South Entrance, which mile mark of which hwy ?

Its 57 mile steese Nome creek road
7 miles to nome creek on road
about another 7 miles to top of prindle 4 miles of the second part is on the road before climbing up trail to prindle
the roads arent plowed should be great snow go ride

Hey John you can go in on MCKay creek road and crossover at about 10 mile to Ophir creek road then
back to prindle which is about another 14 miles to prindle once you hit ophir creek rd

We could, then I'd get to ride farther We'll be at Chatanika for breakfast, stop by if your up for it.

Tanana river is now super smooth riding. Last weekend the wind blown snow filled in a lot of the sharp bumps and we keep getting a little more snow. I'll be out this weekend.

Monday for the Iditarod, some folks are having a campfire down past Rosie creek by the old access trail. Iditarod should get there around 11 am. Anyone is welcome.
