livin' on the b103 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yes, these changes were made last nite, rail trail is limited, just need some more snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 It's a shame that the rest of the B isn't ready to open yet but I do appreciate the honest and realistic trail status reporting. Hoping that we get some more snow soon and can get the rest of the B open. Thanks for the updates. Just noticed, rest of the B is now listed as limited. Great news!

teener Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Please be careful out there folks, the trails are "Limited" for a reason. And please don't venture onto closed trails, some cowboy got himself into trouble today on an unopened trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Rail trail will be updated today as available, groomed in both directions last nite from Hali to Kinmount LIVIN' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Cisco is going to be fuming when he finds out Top B to tall pines is all pillowed for logging. I was hoping to ride that way next weekend, what a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Viper, its trail 16 thats closed for logging. The B to Tall Pines is fine, its Limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks for that J, wasn't sure what he saying. The B from end to end is limited. the best source for trail conditions is our site and the OFSC online guide, we are updating as it happens.

Cico Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I ran b today it ead good but some logging road running. Overheated the mach z in the process ( caught it before the beeping started and filled the tunnel with snow) wifes freestyle ran well other than us discovering she needs a bigger one. Probably go out for a short ride Sunday morning towards Minden. See how far we get then back to home. Awesome trails up here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 just got a text that there is a large tree blocking B trail 2-3kms west of kushog. We will clear asap, but apparently you can get around it. LIVIN' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadoo Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 can anyone expand on what appears to be a very new reroute of the B trail around Kushog Lake? the trail always dumped you out at hwy 35 where you cross and access the lake just south of Ox Narrows. Now it appears to head to the north end of Kushog, where there have been no roads and few cottages over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 That looks like the reroute the club did last year. Much better than the old crossing. No road running and can see vehicular traffic much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yes, old news. I too believe it was there last year. LIVIN' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadoo Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 good to know, thanks. I didn't hit that trail last year and didn't notice it on the map. I assume it is a logging road?? as there has been extensive logging through that area for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Canadoo, you're partially correct. I don't think it was on last years map. It runs beside the logging road for a bit before heading down towards the lake. The trail on the far side of Kushog runs along a summer road. The re-route is a big improvement to that section of the B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yup, trail was there but wasn't on the guide. I remember some discussion about that last year. It is a better route though. LIVIN' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Ran the B from Carnarvon up to Hawk Lk then took the lakes to 64. Took 64 to D101B into Dorset then came back via 61, Raven, 64, Hawk and B. All the trails were groomed and given how little snow we have had they were in good condition. Lots of "clacking" and a few ice sheets but with so little snow it's to be expected. With the wet weekend and now cold weather the trails are very firm. Son's Switchback was running hot and I had to use scratchers to keep my sled cool enough. Lakes are brutal! Refrozen slush ruts and some wet slush parts made for less than ideal lake running. The trails were much better than the lakes. With a bit of snow the trails will be great as they have a very solid base now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgooding Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hoping to ride from Haliburton to Bancroft this Friday, has anyone done this trip yet? I am wondering how the trails are. Also how is the rail line now? I could start from Kinmount. I am hoping Bancroft opens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks to HCSA! The trails were good for the amount of snow on the ground. Powerline trail is brutal north of town but needs snow to fix it. The ox narrow route was staked and marked once again. That is a great route from kenness lake to Dorset. Narrows were frozen solid too, just have to dodge the rocks. One little marshy area wasn't frozen solid, but nothing a little speed can't fix. Overall Trails were better then I thought they would be. Great job HCSA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A tip of the helmet to you sir , thanks for the kind words! The term low snow has been thrown around too much this year after last year, it's just more normal snow and we are making it happen!!!

HCSA is defiantly doing what they can this year. I found some flat trails last Sunday, which is usually un heard of! Defiantly a change for the better. Once they get some snow and thins out the traffic abit more, things will be real good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
