Ya, I figured based on the LOL.....as was I, so I just added a " "

Do not be giving no crazy ideas Normal year, no way you see any police after sun down......this year, would not be surprised!

The places that I have seen built where this has become a discussion regarding f/t access, I am thinking money is not a concern, or at least should not be But I agree, getting your winter cottage road now maintained year round has a price tag associated with it and should not be a surprise. I know other cottage roads that are trails as well that get snow plowed I believe by the cottage association, so it can be used by both sleds and some vehicles.......happy compromise I am sure.

Honestly, don’t know, but I’m sure if you put up enough of a stink, anything is possible. As a tax payer, I can see how some will have sense of entitlement.

Only recall seeing one kid riding with an adult. Saw quite a few girlfriend/boyfriend or husband/wife combo's today though......which had me thinking about the females and the topic of having to go to the bathroom....

Zero police today on or off the trail.

No idea why an old picture I posted was attached.....forum going through some issues for sure.

Yes, it was....brisk to start off, but just a great day to be on the trails. Talked to quite a few folks as well in various spots.

Yes, this is true....as more cottages are built on land that was bought year ago and they want to access their place all year.

Forgot, there was a car stuck on trail 065 at bear lake rd. couple of young guys looking for fishing spot, tried to turn around and no luck, they were good and stuck... tow truck on the way.

Just shy of 100 miles earlier today. Left 9:30 and back to truck around 12:45. 061 D101b 065 And 074 Traffic was light for Sat, trails were mostly really good. Only one oh $hit moment when rider was wrong side over crest on corner.... Gloves worked well too!

The shiny plastic or metal caps that you see on the rims in the center should have a center cap that pops off without removing the wheels, behind that cap is the grease fitting for the axle bearings, there may or may not be a rubber cap over the grease zerk as well. On my trailer, a center piece of the outer cap pops off and behind that is the grease zerk, there is no rubber cap over the grease zerk, but on my other travel trailer, there is a rubber cap.....but they each have totally different systems used to grease the bearings.

Maybe they do than, honestly it usually seems pretty quick around here when I have passed through their RIDE program on the odd occasion......I just remember the usual good evening, any alcohol tonight and off I go. I tend to agree with you, in light of the current atmosphere, I think I may find myself to be aggravated now due to what is going on and how I have strong feelings against it, that might make me be not as pleasant as I may normally be.....

Should be another removable cap in the center of that cap, no? I know my trailer has them for just that, greasing the bearings.

So seems to be either $85 or $200, plus the surcharge of course......I am not seeing an infraction for trespassing or driving on a closed trail though, I am sure it is there, just not seeing it. Even a whole section on groomer and drags infractions - go figure

Furthermore, expect some people to exaggerate things, especially those that might be in favour of the asinine decision that has been made for this region. Not suggesting that is the case here, but you know it will be happening.

It was a RIDE check, so they can pull you over as per the MADD program. Asking you about your plans, destination, etc....is not part of the RIDE check protocol though......have you been drinking is the extent of it while they hover into or near your window looking or smelling for the tell tale signs to gig further.

Makes sense and why these cottage owners would take their side by sides along the trail to their cottages.

Okay, so trespass is actually $180.00 and not $65.00......which would be better. The covid fine could be interesting though and I can see it being fought in court.

So that means the fine would in fact be $65 for trespassing on closed OFSC trails vs $880 as posted. Perhaps misunderstanding or a stretch to deter people from doing it as $65 is hardly a deterrent.

So there is provisions for that, with some rules or discretion in place. The cottage access discussion came up years ago when a few cottage owners on an OFSC trail wanted to go to their cottage in the winter on a road that was not maintained but a trail instead and I recall they were allowed with no pass plus they also used there side by side to gain winter access.

I wonder why the ticket would be $880.00.....I thought trespassing on OFSC trails was only a measly $65.00. And if I am not mistaken, you can also use an OFSC trail to get to your cottage on or off the trail or to the lake for ice fishing purposes without a pass or trespassing fine......at least that is how I always understood it to be explained to me. Regardless, hopefully the protests are productive ones with level heads.

LOL....ya, like last year....back in the day kiddo's when masks and social distancing were not a concern.

Good, just what is needed seeing as driving to far is not an option to ride and the now Red trails are not helping either

I find the DOO muffs, or in my case the Kimpex ones way better than your traditional ones......not awkward in the way, no issues if you decide to stand or sit or putting your hand back in them
