J Feces Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I know from my own experience that searchmont to dubreilleville is a full day. Depends on trail conditions. Search to Timmons is a fair bit further. Yes I’d say it’s doable..... but you’ll want very good conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ride Timmins to Halfway Heaven which is 375 km and it is a long day riding fairly quick , Searchmont is about 475 km to Timmins . The C101D is not a fast trail but if you get an early start you should make it 8 to 10 hours . Make your time from Searchmont to Chapleau the rest of the trail is slow Chapleau grooms in the day time so need to be careful on those trails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooboy Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 searchmont to halfway haven is 90 miles, halfway haven to chapleau is 60 miles, chapleau to timmins is 175 miles. this is in MILES so 325 miles, plus or minus missed turns, re-routes, problems, illness, breakdowns, ect... get an early start, it will be a long day. plan not seeing much other than gas, and food stops. personally, I don't see the draw in riding that far, and not enjoying what you are driving/riding through. it seems to me, people riding these high mileage days, are riding for the sake of riding, not really enjoying the ride... being more worried about their time off, and pushing further than they should for the sake of a schedule but, everyone has opinions, and their own ideas on what sledding is about. enjoy your trip.
