Few trees down w all that wind. What snow is left is thin..very icy in the bush. Good fishing weather..not good for much else. I’m at 2400 km this year and and 2700 last year. No complaints from me. Next year will be better..I’m an optimist 😎

I don’t think they bail on you because of the sled,,,,

We rode down from Kirkland Lake to Elk Lake on the A for lunch today. Riding in the morning, everything was fine. From the junction of A and A110Q to the junction A and L162 has been groomed and is in good condition with a few thin spot where it crosses rough terrain. Below L162 there has been no grooming since before the melt down. It’s about a 40 km stretch from there to Elk Lake. The upper half saw a lot more snow than the lower half. The A trail runs on the River now on the north side of town (not on land like it shows on the OFSC map). The hill climb off the river was ice mud and rock this afternoon. That lower section was turning grey coming back this afternoon with small bare sections. The snow was soft and the trails were still decent but the traffic was taking a toll. The trails around Kirkland Lake are patchy, mostly still snow but slushy with bare spots. We were done by 330. Still warm and sunny out. My buddy and I were pretty surprised at how fast the trails were deteriorating in the afternoon. We are heading home in the morning. I don’t think there is a good ride near here tomorrow afternoon but there are plenty of people in Cochrane who are riding back to Kirkland Lake tomorrow.

Sorry to say Rick it's done. We rode Kap to Timmins today and there is no S in the snirt. That was 4 hrs ago

Ya, sledding crowd is older around here, and really overall in general. What ya ride I don’t think is a factor most think of when riding, other than perhaps a sled not looked after causing potential break down, but even new sleds leave you stranded. Same as pace, a slower reasonable rider is not that far behind when you stop at intersections to wait for all to catch up, plus is it really about the race to get to your destination or about the ride it takes to get there, at whatever pace and enjoying that. It seems things change more so due to weather, conditions or peoples life that changes, that cause a change in plans. Personality conflicts might be a bigger factor for some.

It was minus 32 in KL this morning at motel beside yours. LoL

So did you buy it ??

hehe

But you won’t. 😂😂

Good meeting you and your buddy today.

Just want a second one looking for a two stroke this time. Keeping ace too, won't sell it, it is mint. Then I have a spare sled for a buddy to use and can get back up north if I can't find anyone else to ride with. Be easier to keep up with some of more aggressive riders on here too. Almost everyone bails on me when they find out I ride a 2017 900 ace 😆. 6500 km's on it. Half of that was in northern Ontario. Did big loop once too, in 2018 😎

It’s was -29 in Kirkland Lake at 8am this morning. Its -1 now at 7pm. Only going to -3 over night. +5 by noon tomorrow.
