Easter Monday ride around Hearst ....

After yesterdays' dumping of 3" of fresh snow, figured I had to get one more ride in ...

Took out the sled at around 9 am, Alexandre and I took a little tour around our end of town, then onto the fitness trail along the river, which is wide open except a couple of places.  Little ice jam at the West end of town ....

Stopped in at the boss's house, left a little Hello snow pile on his garage door ....

Headed West from there to the edge of the BIL's property and back out, then North on Cloutier Road ("A" trail crosses it..) all the way to the Marina.  I let Alexandre drive for most of the road. Here's the L171 trail heading West of the Marina.....

Met a guy having fun on an old Honda ATC on the same road, a Big Red maybe .... we passed him on the return trip.  Opened up the sled a bit to show the kid the rocket ....

 

Stopped at a friends' place for a quick chat, Alexandre stayed to play with their son.  I carried on and toured around town a bit more, until the Fuel light came on (would alternate between 1 bar and fuel light).  Heading home I spotted the wifes' car at another friends' place, little visit there, then home and put away the sled.

Snow condition was great, it was good fluffy snow, great for cooling.  No overheating, only put down the scratchers to save the slides while driving the roads.

 

56 km for the day, 220 km on that tank of fuel, still on break-in .... 36% now, was 43% this morning.

Got a tiny bit of snow overnight... supposed to be 2 to 4 cm.  Probably only get a wee bit this week... bloody cold though....

calling for over a foot here on Tuesday/wednesday.  See what comes of it.  May take the opportunity to run the old sled out to the club for summer storage.  Interesting to see all the doom and gloom on Facebook about a potential April storm.

I was in Port Severn yesterday and everywhere I looked people were getting boats ready and putting them in the water. It's currently 64F 18C with a forecast of 20C for Wed & Thu.
