175 klicks for the day. Lots of new trails for me as I'm normally sticking to TOP D or D102B for RAP or RAN tours. Snowing hard on the Seguin. I thought we were re-enacting the Elk Lake to New Liskeard ride...

invaded sprucedale for a geriatric feeding frenzy. lol.

I actually stayed there one night yrs ago. The review would be far from glowing.

Jesus. He is redoing all the rooms so it may be a bit better next season. I'll take my nice warm camp 10 miles outside of town and the beer is cheaper there. Do love stopping in and talking to folks though.

He seems like a nice guy. Hope he does well. He said he will have dancers in on Thursdays in the fall...………….That should be interesting.

Edgewater Park Lodge. They have added a large dining room on the north side since I stayed there in 2014 on a RAN tour

Stuck between a Poo & a Yammi (it and the MXZ to the right needed new spark plugs...)

Oxtongue River rapids.

Stopped @ the rapids. I omitted the Subaru wagon that was parked on the trail. Fortunately it hadn't rutted up the trail getting in.

Almost home @ the D102B & HGR#54 intersection. I had passed thru here on the 1st day of our RAN tour.

Wednesday's route

1105372000_EdgewaterRide.JPG.dc97221961f02b9ebb924d6b8cb2da29.JPG

 

Rode a lot of new trails for me over the 2 days. Nice to ride w/ & joke around w/ some OCers. 400 klicks over 2 days.

 

Finally a big thank you to Bob & Carol for having me over for a couple of days! :-)

While the media was focussed on the stress of lineups @ Pearson, sledders were out & about. Did 133 klicks

1666116277_2019MarchD2Ride.JPG.0de23614c0ff446bf8c169bb997e6137.JPG

 

Saw a couple w/ their munchkins near Tallan Lake. South of Jack's Lake I met a group of around 8 sleds heading south. Back in Apsley, another couple w/ a young 'un on a ZR120, were getting fuel.

 

Conditions were good for the most part, but the road running on E107 (McFaddens & Boundary roads) is getting muddy.

A bit of a delay as the beaver(s) fell the tree I had spotted a week ago.

I trimmed as much as I could. Put up some caution tape and emailed the club about the hazard.

Rode up the 618 Silent Lake Trail. I hadn't ridden it in a few years.
