I don’t think it’ll be closed for a few weeks. storms come outta nowhere and by looking at the forecast, the cold temps and snow should open things back up fairly soon. Just my opinion though. Some areas are definitely starting over though, other areas just need the base to refreeze which it will, and then a top up of snow. We’ll all be out riding again before we know it.

I think you and I are different. i really just love to ride, and I don’t care where or what. We have a field that it takes hours to put 25 miles on in, I have been riding in that field since the winter of 1988, and still spend hours over there to this day. i don’t get bored, I like being out in the natural air, feeling the sled, if it’s going around in circles or up and down the lake, that’s what it is, still puts a smile on my face and is better than doing a lot of other things.

Try it, ripping up and down lake is similar to riding in my farm fields. Fun first hour or so then it gets boring. More fun going some where and seeing different scenery. The second I have to ride like this I am out. Only January I am 400 kms ahead of last year.

My money is on 8000-10,000 km reopened by Friday, more then double that by the following Friday. We've been here before. Always amazes me how fast things can bounce back with a few days of cold and some snow. Like the last rain event, more will open after it then we had open before it.

Agree with you. Everything is still white here, albeit thinner. We do need the base and the wet areas to freeze up. When the cold air comes again on Thurs, I'm sure the lake effect machine will start churning again. It doesn't usually go from plus single digit highs to minus double digit highs the next day without some wind.

my season used to be mostly day or weekend trips in and around here, it was my passion for the season and what I looked forward too so much in the winter - if there was a weekend missed of riding, I was very disappointed, when it seemed like we had good winters. Now it is going on a saddlebag trip or trips, that use to be northern ON only that switched to ON and QC, now mostly QC since it is normally the most consistent, with a bit of local riding here or there when time and conditions permit it. I’d imagine it won’t be long before your son and you are able to do those saddle bag trips, if it interests you both, and the up and down seasons around these parts that we have become accustomed too won’t bug you as much and take too much wind out of the sail.

Yup. Still mainly white here, but not much base left. Any low spot has water in it Big difference from this morning till this evening.

Anyone notice the gentle breeze out there? Let's hope the trees didn't! May cause a set back if they did. Having said that, I believe, in my area, all the weaker trees are already down from the March Ice Storm and the freezing rain a couple of weeks ago. Fingers crossed.

Heading north, if you turn right off the main drag just before the railway station and go across the tracks, there is a large parking area on the right hand side where we have left a truck/trailer in past years for a week. Its used in the summer for vehicles with boat trailers. Google street view will show it.

Just switching to wet flurries now in port sydney. Lost quite a bit but still a foot+ on the lawn. Need cold and a big whack of snow asap!
