jrhz06 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Livin' and the new directors are having a very positive impact on how the club does things. It's not just the grooming that is better this year. Keep up the good work it isn't going un-noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4489 Pine Point Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Things seem more peaceful over there someone is making a difference for sure too bad Quimby did not live to see it X2 for Quimby What you see on the trails is the growing embryo of the Team concept and planning initiated a few years back and for 2014/2015, VP Livin' is the catylist taking HCSA's Team to the next level. "Helmets Off" to Livin' for his gigantic volunteer time committment and contribution. Flash your lights as an expression of appreciation when you ride past his digs somewhere on the B103. Let it :snow-141: ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livin' on the b103 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hi all, thanks for noticing what's going on here this year, nice sunny day and -8, done working on club stuff today off for a ride! LIVIN' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 OK, here it is the busiest weekend of the season and all HCSA trails are listed available! Groomers out Wednesday and I rode a fair bit of the trails on Thursday and they were good. (if I do say so myself) Groomers out tonite, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday NIGHTS with a later than usual start time Saturday and Sunday to allow traffic to settle. Check out our website for details on the HCSA BBQ on the B103 trail. LIVIN' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I've always said that I call it like I see it and last year I was very outspoken about the poor grooming and generally poor trail conditions for HCSA. What a difference a year makes! Last year we had lots of snow and crappy trail conditions. This year we have had a marginal snow year that has just recently gotten back to normal snow levels and the trails have been consistently good all season. Well done HCSA, it's good to see the positive turnaround that this club has done this year. Just goes to show what some new blood and a LOT of commitment can do.

bozskagg Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Rode the B trail south and then east from Beech Lake. Took club trail 11 west up to Haliburton Forest for breakfast and then continued west on 11 hooking back up to 11 south. My only criticism was that 11 was not marked where it forks on Big Hawk Lake. Not a big deal as we found our way no problem. Amazing trail system through this area imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Geez, I've converted jrhz06 and gobills, my life's work is now complete! Thanks again for noticing the new direction HCSA is headed towards. It may be some new blood and ideas but the foundation was there and the older Directors and Volunteers just needed to be re-energized. bozskagg, we will look into the sign issue and resolve. Thanks for your input and anytime anyone sees something that could use some attention feel free to contact us via the website. hcsa.ca Don't bury me though! OK?

jrhz06 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Nothing to convert here. If the trails are good I say they're good and if they're bad I say they're bad. Only thing converted is the condition of the trails, for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I rode the trails on a Sunday at end of jan! I exected the worst and planned to run the lakes! Trails were great for most part and what a difference from last time I rode the area (few years ago). Keep up the good work! Nice to see ox narrow route all marked again. Hopefully this route will be marked again even if trail 16 opens back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Trail 16 will remain closed this year due to logging, but we will be looking hard at a way to re-open next year. LIVIN' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just a heads up. On the B between the dump on Hawk Lake road and Hawk Lake there is a long hill and there are sections with open water, glare ice and refrozen ice chunks. Very odd that we would have open water and refrozen broken up sections with all this cold weather. The rest of the B is in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hey just a heads up for anyone who plans on riding the b 112 out of minden towards baysville. The first part is great the last part before the b trail is great, but the middle is horrible major moguls should be tagged as limited it's rough really rough.

livin' on the b103 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Agreed, there is a section past the old # 2 trail to the rock face (past the Ansen Creeek bridge) that there is limited grooming due to a lack of turnaround. The tractor can't get up the rock face safely. we were hoping to have a solution last week but it did not happen, we will be out Monday to find a turnaround closer to the rock face but there will still be a KM or so that cant be groomed?? While we're at it the Whitney run wasn't done last nite due to a busted groomer, the trail was still in good shape as of yesterday and the groomer will be out tonite.

Canadoo Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Anyone know if the hydro line had been groomed recently? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadoo Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I guess it's getting to the point you dont have to ask about haliburton conditions. Ran from whitney to baysville and the hydro line is as good as I've ever seen it. The B from pine springs to msr was also excellent. Been riding these trails for over 20 years. .
