Viperules700 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Dorset and Dwight are good. The top d101b from deerhurst will be tough going. Will be mogul city for the first 15 or so kms and the roads on the north side will be tough if there is no new snow. That trail see's 500 sleds a day on a weekend. I am doing the hailburton forest poker run on saturday. You could drop there at 8 am and do the run. All trails will be pancake flat. Cost Is 50 per rider and includes food at four of the 5 check points. It is a very fun day, especially since there are so many routes in there with everything frozen solid.

Mcthumper Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Judging by this mornings radar..if yer not out there already,might be best to stay home. Rain looks like it will be substantial...and this on our very very thin trails..with creeks and swamps and lakes already opening... This could be the end of it in Muskoka and environs. or.... Go north young men! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowTouringGuy Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 For Fred & STG, and any others. rode Bancroft/Whitney area last weekend - Wednes afternoon thru Sat. Don't think much will have changed since then. Started from Lake St. Peter each day. The bulk was good. Few rocks on some trails sticking out, some corners down to ice/rocks by the end of each day-given this winter to be expected. Thurs. we were down to Paudash clubhouse and over to Coe Hill and then back-up. Getting a little thin in the south end. Otherwise very good Fri. - up to Whitney and over to Golden Lake, went east of Barrys Bay through Wilno & Killaloe, very thin east of Barry's Bay. Come back across the top (B trail) and down to rail bed east of Madawaska. - few miles of plowed logging along B trail (any mild will make this worse). spoke to group that came up maple leaf/combemere way - said it was ok/good. - overall not bad day. Sat. - over to Eagle Lake on E trail, then up to Whitney on B trail. - several rough sections for sure, few sections of plowed road. (lots of traffic-expected for a Sat.) - trail from Whitney back to Lake St. Peter was still surprisingly not bad late Saturday afternoon given the amount of Traffic. Overall, hats off to Maple Leaf Snow Skimmers Club out of Lake St. Peter. they groomed every day we were there and their trails were in the best condition of those rode. (it does help that they seemed to have a little more snow than other areas) sorry to say i was not so impressed with Haliburton trails - they need to get out more regularly, and many you talk too agree. not sure what is going on over there in the past several years?-15 years ago they were one of the best. It did seem as though there trails need more snow to be good-many rocks sticking out. some summer maintenance could help this. Thank you willie - Very much appreciated !
