Thanks again for the update !! I'm in huntsville, and can report that we had about 6" of new (wet) snow overnight, and have had some further wet flurries on and off all day. It's been mild (+2) again today, so some of the new snow has melted, but we have NOT had any rain. Remember, Environment Canada's Muskoka weather station is at Muskoka Airport, which is south of Bracebridge and almost 40 kms south of here...it may well be drizzling down there, but it certainly isn't here in Huntsville. Temps. are supposed to drop to -7C tonight...that should tighten things up. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irREVerent Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Irreverent how are the roads in the area? Where some of the trails run on. Not sure, because I haven't stirred very far from home today...too busy blowing snow, loading sleds in trailer and preparing/packing for our Quebec trip tomorrow. FWIW, it snowed on and off all afternoon, and the temp. has now gone below freezing, so everything is likely to be pretty "crusty"/icy by the morning, including back roads, I suspect.

Giddy UP Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 ADSC website as of today March 1st 2013 7:26 am -7.9c all adsc groomers running Looks like a busy weekend coming up all trails groomed and in great shape. Top trails groomed nightly throughout the weekend so if they are rough it is due to large amounts of traffic. Have a great weekend and drive carefully, always expect someone to be on the wrong side of the trail!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giddy UP Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 How are the Kearney trails today Giddy ? might give them a try on tues or wed if there staying together Hey MM They say they are in great shape - I personally have not been out as I am still suffering some whiplash and not riding this weekend . There is certainly plenty of snow here - road running will be the problem - but at least the ADSC club has most trails running beside the roads as much as possible. Lots of traffic out today - however, groomers out this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Dow Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hi All... I just found this site. I'm a brand new member and first year sledder. Today I ran a big loop starting North on Trail 95 from Clear Lake. Most of the trails were in exceptional shape. Kudos to the groomers! But my last hour beat the crap outa' me. I'd be interested in where I can get current grooming reports. Here is what I encountered today... 95 - Excellent D to Kearney - Excellent 97, AL 302, 305, 303 all Excellent AL301 to Ice Caves - Excellent D to D101B - Excellent D101B to D102B - Excellent D102B to 95 - Pretty Rough 95 to Clear Lake - OK **EDIT** In respect to the "Almaguin" title of this topic, I should clarify that all the trails I rode in Almaguin were excellent and "ready for the weekend". The trails that were "not so recently groomed" were south of that club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giddy UP Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks MM. Yes - that unexpected detour on my trip is still hurting Have tried the wine, and beer, and......LOL. Hopefully will be back on my sled by mid-week. We are staying in Kearney this week - hopefully get some riding in before it's all done! Maybe we will see you on the trails Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our way up tomorrow and those trails are on one of the routes I have planned. Might have to look at avoiding these trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 We rode TOP D down from the D123 Jct (including the detour) to Sand Lake (Thur'), then south to the D101B on Fri'. Trails were in good shape. Giddy Up, do you know if the TOP D detour east of Sundridge is permanent or just for this winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Where is the detour? Is it in good shape? Does the d tour take you out to the top a, without the 17km of road running that is in the trout creek area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
