thetorches Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Rode from Port Perry clubhouse to other side of Ganaraska forest, and a couple of club trails. There was about 6-8 inches of snow on trails. Port Perry groomed last night. Only 3 or 4 sets of tracks in fresh snow. Pretty awesome. I don't think the Ganny has been groomed in a couple of days. Lots of moguls and lots of snow. Talked to one of PP groomers when I was leaving. He told me some guys were out staking Lake Scugog at that moment.

Yamaha Fan Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hi Terry ... from this week's temperatures it looks like it'sgoing to be slushy. Yesterday was perfect. I rode from Sno Voyageurs clubhouse to Wasaga. Really nice trails. The road running might suffer though as it needed more snow yesterday. Cheers.

extreme600 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Well, we rode today in D9 and it was an adventure to say the least. There's sooooooooooooooooo much snow and drifting it's a workout. I've never taken so long to put on 100 miles as I did today. Holy crap. Trails were all freshly groomed last night which was obvious in spots where the wind didn't drift. But where the wind drifted it in. Holy Sh!t. I might be getting a divorce after this episode. LOL Going to try again tomorrow before the mild spell, which SUCKS!! Hopefully tomorrow the wind isn't so brutal. Oh and the snow is heavy too!!! Next time I'm bringing a shovel!!! Thanks D9 you guys still rock. Mother nature is a bitch!!!

Bigfish Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Rode in the Northumberland Forest today. From GPRSA Clubhouse to Warkworth. A good 8 - 10 inches of heavy wet snow. Passed the groomer near Warkworth. Pic taken at the eastern end of the forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowbutsure Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Had a great ride tonight. Uxbridge north and up and around to Sunderland, grabbed gas and back. Crossed the groomer up near Hwy #7. Smooth ride home. Couldn’t get the location finder to locate me on the OFSC map though. Thanks Terry your post motivated me to ride tonight before the yellow goes to red this week.

snowman Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 out for some lake rides yesterday in the parry sound/mckellar area and noticed that grey owl and mckellar lake has just been staked.

ravinerat Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Rode Lake Simcoe yesterday. Almost to Big Bay Point. Cracks are minimum and about 6-8" of snow. Drilled some holes and 12" of ice at Bear Point. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Sunday was the first ride of the season. Absolutely fantastic conditions. After digging out the 3 foot deep snow in front of the trailer and clearing off the 2 feet of snow from the roof of the trailer it made for a late start to the day. We headed north on C trail to the intersection of B105 and conditions were absolutely great. Especially for a Sunday afternoon. Surprisingly we only saw 50 other sleds on the trails and almost all were in groups of 4 or more. Unfortunately a very large number of those sleds didn't have current trail permits. Their 2017 permits were on the sled still. Monday we woke up to about 3 or 4 inches of fresh snow and rode from Port Severn to Midland on the C trail. There were a couple of spots that were good (some bumps) but almost the whole ride was great. The old rail bed from Sandhill Road, Waubaushene to Midland was really great. Nice and smooth with fresh snow. I kind of like this mid week riding when the trails are empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all good afternoon getting to know the trails around here. If you're talking about the gas station right on the corner at the stop light I know what you mean. A bit of road running to get there as well. There is an Esso south of Elmvale on the east side of 27 at Rainbow Valley Road. If you're on the B trail at Rainbow Valley Rd the run east to 27 along the side of the road is usually better than the trip through downtown Elmvale which is usually bare asphalt with a lot more traffic and a bunch of parked cars to contend with.

snowman Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Rode to work on the top C, and pretty rough. Rode home the long way on c104d and c101 and both were freshly groomed. Total 200k right on the nose. Be nice to have more snow to help fill some dips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
