one of the things i personally would like to see is a PERMANENT DEDICATED TRAIL SYSTEM DESIGNATION FOR OUR TRAILS. this will end the logging, town, land owner issues. this has been done in michigan and other states. it ends A LOT OF PROBLEMS. Ski

self isolated in Dubreuilville for 2 weeks march 13th-26th, then came home to michigan, thursday will be 14 days here, total so far close to 28 days, only going to the grocery 1 time per week (MAX), trying to stretch to 10-14 days, only one of us goes, with a list. it is getting old already. our vehicles are all nice and detailed though. spring clean up on the lawn has begun, i will be mowing by saturday. i am ready to ride the dirt or street bikes, you can only watch so much tv. the hbo mini doc/movie Chernobyl, was PRETTY DARN GOOD THOUGH! stay safe and healthy, my friends. Ski

the short answer is no. there is riding but, no organized trails. that, and thunder bay is not a snowmobile friendly community. that is why there is no more ride around lake superior stories. Ski

my latest "dream" is to put my foot in lake superior at wawa (sandy beach), then ride cross country, to james bay and stand on the ice. need some big help though. trying to get Denis, marc g, excited about this... you in? my thought is, one workhorse sled with supplies, spares and fuel. we all take turns riding it, and our own sleds. that way no one gets stuck riding the "tanker". Ski

a group on my motorcycle racing forum ride from the keys to the bahamas on jet skis, every year. like sledding on open water. we could do it here too. any large river/lake system with no dams, or portages, we could ride town to town. Ski

from the map, you can bypass a bit of the street running, by going straight down klondike, to the outdoorsman. we did that for years.

i cannot answer that under penalty of law. Ski

riiiiight... want some? Ski

they (quebec) are "suggesting" clubs cease grooming. i believe it should be left up to the clubs and their membership. Ski

^^^^ this... for more than 10 years. shake hands, touch money, touch a door handle, fuel pump... HAND SANITIZER. and never touch your face without washing hands, or sanitizing. common sense for germophobes. Ski

you can wear these over outer layer coats as well... food for thought. Ski

i guess i am in the minority, i am for telling tourists to stay home or ride local but, to say the clubs cant groom in the far north, ESPECIALLY ON CROWN LAND, is a slap in the face to the local permit buyer. they (the ofsc, and the districts) should allow the clubs to groom all their trails ONE MORE TIME. for the most part, that will get us through to the melt. it is a good will gesture, and makes locals believe their permit cost was money well spent. we already have people saying due to limited grooming to their favorite lake destination trails, they are not buying permits next season. COME ON OFSC, LET THE LOCALS RIDE! Ski

food for thought, if you are serious about this, look for a tekvest or other armor with a FULL, SOLID CHEST PLATE, NOT A ZIPPERED TWO PIECE CHEST PLATE. the one piece plate, will disperse energy across the entire panel. while the zippered panel is "more convenient" you have to decide on how much protection YOU WANT. we have been running the tekvests for close to 15 years, wouldnt ever ride without it, even to go fishing. hit a big drift on the lake, and get kicked, have a ski hook under the snow, and pitch you off, fall in the parking lot... these help mitigate your injury risk. just like knee guards. ever take a cheese grater running board to the shin, above your boot? yeah, you know what i am talking about. with that said, this year i switched out to a lighter, although still impact rated KTM "body armor" type pressure suit. this gives me elbow, and shoulder protection. wearing something, is better than nothing. to us, it just another piece of safety equipment, no different than a helmet. choose wisely. Ski

do you mean Lynx? Ski

make sure you have scratchers, towns, roads, bypasses are getting thin, in areas. ride safe, watch the weather, early spring riding in effect. have fun. Ski

was a pleasure Kris. enjoyed our chat, and stories. rubber side down, have a great rest of your trip. Ski

they close at 5, better swing in as soon as you arrive. or tell me what you need, and we can get it, before we leave for the day. we are going fishing it appears. i will pm you my cell, you can text me. Ski

technical difficulties with the house christmas lights, for your beacon. garage and barn are lit. house only has half a string. #10 rue des pins. half way between hotel and gas bar. cant miss us. dont have much selection for beer, so BYOB Ski

we are in dub, will be here until tuesday afternoonish. Ski

saw on FB, marathon sno kickers made it to Manitouwadge with the groomer. now we need people to use this trail to grow interest to expand grooming, and trail access. step in the right direction. thanks to ALL that made this possible. Ski

Kris, we should be in Dub, monday. i may be up all week. Lynne is going home on Tuesday. we are 4 houses toward the motel, from the gas station. the christmas lights are on, when we are in town. who all is going with you? Nunz? Ski

how do we fix this? driving me crazy. Ski

the OFSC took that away due to liability. only updates allowed are the official itg. thats it! welcome to political correctness. we allowed this to happen. Ski

we stayed at the golden nugget in geraldton YEARS AGO... BP, did they have a name change? was a "decent place" not 5 stars but, clean and near the trail at the time. Ski
