Dave K Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Where are some spots to park there? Might head out tomorrow for a little run if the weather stops blowing as much as it it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledguy74 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I believe there is a parking area off of John St. The ATV club has it listed as an parking area for the trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmergeorge Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The groomer shed is a good place to park. Its north of town right on the east side of hwy 10. It is right off the railbed and the granny(322) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat800ltd Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Bring an extra set of carbides if you run from shelburne. In need of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vooodooo Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Up my way it's been a 3 day snowstorm. We have well better than two feet, probably three. Another foot plus to come. Rode the 380 LT around my back 40 at lunch, I've been packing my trail every day all week but it was still like a loaded down boat plowing thru the water. Drove around the area the last few days, Northern Grey, Bruce and up the Peninsula got/is getting hammered. There is no shortage of snow anywhere up here. Some stuff up here is open, lots more should open up next week if staking etc gets done, Next weekend should be good to go for lots of trail. If you're planning a "for sure ride", the Northern sections of D9 is a very safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Heard so many people ran it and snow is light, imagine it is down to gravel. We haven't had packing snow yet, just fluffy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveB Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Rode this area last night and it is not good. This area needs more snow plain and simple. Head further north until things improve down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylaker Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Why would they turn the trails yellow on the interactive map if there's hardly any snow? A buddy of mine went to wasaga then up to midland yesterday and said the trails were great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave K Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Why would they turn the trails yellow on the interactive map if there's hardly any snow? Near us, one of the clubs trail boss also fixes sleds. If trails aren't open, people cant ride. If they can ride, they need repairs, especially in marginal conditions.

Baylaker Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 So he opens the trails early so he gets business? That's kinda shady....just my opinion tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vooodooo Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Off topic a bit, but do you guys have any idea when some trails on the Bruce peninsula could open? Around Hepworth or Wiarton? Should be very soon. There is no shortage of snow, probably too much lol. Staking and trail maintenance will be the tough part. ATV is not an option at this point. Can only carry so many stakes and signs in the tobbogan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some in fact, openly complain that there isn't a seamless ribbon of white to their door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head further north until things improve down here. Drove from home to Cambridge and back today. Two different routes. Snow does not start to get decent until north of Durham and North of around Teviotdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat800ltd Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I wouldn't even bother dropping from shelburne. Still way to thin. Dundalk has a little more snow. It really starts getting good from the B111. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
