We left WaWa at 8:00 A.M. very bundled up because it was -23 degrees. Canada has warming sheds that all riders can use. We stopped and built a fire, warmed up and continued our trip.
We traveled 251 miles today. Everyone is a little tired but we had a good day on the trails. When we arrived in Hearst it had warmed up to 3 degrees.

Monday morning and everyone is anxious to ride. The weather has turned cold on us but spirits are high and we are ready to hit the trails. The thermometer was -33c at 6:30 A.M. so we decided to wait until 10:00 A.M. to ride. We rode to Ernie’s in Missanabie for lunch. What a great guy he is!!!!! He came out of his warm house and opened the restaurant for us and He Cooked. Great Burgers!!!! 
Thanks Ernie.

Just got off the phone with “Chase One and he notified me the riders left about 10:00 to ride local trails around the Wawa, Ontario area. Apparantly there were poor trail conditions on their planned route west toward White River, Ontario. They are planning on returning to Wawa, Ontario this afternoon. A check of the satellite transponders (Spot Messengers) shows everyones are tracking today, including a new one added for Larry Wormnest.
