Not in the area but visit there often. Give a shout in the summer, I also have stretches mid week and some long weekends off.. I have friends that live in the Osseo area.

I'm a few miles south of Strum. Didn't get out nearly enough last year but am going to try hard to make the Golden Eagle trail ride and the Trempeleau County ATV ride (one day ride) this year. Hopefully get over to Knobby if it opens up this year. I don't street ride, but have a KTM520 (w/plates), TW200 and CR250 in the garage (along with a CRF50).

I have some land too, and was thinking of setting up some trails this year. Might need some help "running them in".

I live just north in Bloomer. I have never been on roads much worse than a dirt road, but interested in learning.

I too am in Eau Claire. Free all weekend every weekend if you're up for a weekend trip or local ride. Got a few camping trips in the planning stages for this season that I wouldn't mind company on.

Already been on a couple local rides this season in between snow storms.

Where does everyone fall as far as terrain preference? Tight trails, dirt/gravel roads, backroads, etc.

I like to be on pavement as little as possible. 50/50 tight trails/two-track would be ideal.

I've been doing some research and I'm looking at doing the NWAT that Cannonshot put together. I'll probably end up riding it over two 3-day weekends and start out of Phillips.

I'm also interested in something like the MCCCT (Cannonshot did a report on this as well), hitting the UP, and eventually getting out west for a ride.

I am in Somerset and open to do some rides. Planning on chasing a few Rustic Roads this summer. Just need to be able to get my bike out of the basement. The snow is so deep back there that it may not come out till June.
