Shivesy Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Just to let you folks know conditions became better this afternoon. We ate lunch at Casey's there in Kap and watched the storm move east. Then the sun started to shine as the temp started to fall a bit. The wind picked up quite a bit but that was okay as the sun lifted our spirits greatly. The 100 mile ride from Kap to Cochrane was fast and the trails seemed to improve as we headed east. We actually had a very pleasant ride that made riding today definitely worth it. We logged on another 180 miles today and feel lucky to have accomplished that considering the conditions that were handed to us this morning. The sleds seem to be doing just fine and this trip is just about to get interesting as we start heading SOUTH back towards Searchmont here in the next few days. I have attached a couple afternoon pics for ya. Thank you northern Ontario as we have really enjoyed our ride this afternoon on your trails!!

Heading up there tomorrow and was actually considering cancelling if I hadn't heard better news It'll be fine, you just need scratchers. Snow this year has been bad for cooling all season long, even freshly fallen snow it seems. I've been using my scratchers almost every ride unless there was fresh powder. After this rain/freeze, they'll be mandatory if you don't have studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shivesy Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I remember your group as I think it was at my first 50 mile stop. A lot of good laughs on the trail with you guys. That helmet is a Scorpion Transformer and my cousin loves it. It has a built in sun shield that drops down along with the modular design where the whole front lifts up. I think he paid like $130(US) with heated shied on closeout but only in orange. He was fine with the orange but definetly not my style. I'll have to hand it to him though as he gets many compliments about the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
