  2. I think you mean eco (not performance) mode lets the thumb move more, with less effect on the engine speed. I often use eco mode in very twisty or rough trails.
  3. Thank you, Gentlemen. Good information.
  4. I see the clubs have tamed the big snowfall! Might be safe for me to take a look tomorrow.
  5. Not slow down. I said flee. LOL I fled to Summerland by a different route, like a pinball ball, stopping only to rescue an upside down sledder along the way. They weren’t able to upright the machine, but an extra 265 lbs of hungry hippo did the trick. Here's a Facebook picture of Summerland's breaky bagels.
  6. The plan was to nip across Mary Lake, come down D103B, take an unopened bush trail off Purbrook Road, then end up at Summerland Store for a breaky bagel and coffee. But I suddenly looked like the abominable snowman inside a snow globe (around 815 a.m. at Stephenson Road 4) so decided to reverse course and flee southward down Lone Pine Drive.
  7. I rode up D from Gravenhurst this morning, and did a U-Turn in Port Sydney - - too much fresh snow on the trail.

  9. I wish I could find the cartoon drawing of a person waving while wearing winter mitts.....but really it's a one finger salute. LOL
  10. I bypassed the lake crossing earlier this week, and took the land route. Rookie move. I forgot how much I hate the sound of bare pavement.
  11. I know the stretch. The swampy area near the groomer path that goes around the steep hill.
  12. I'll slow down through there and scan for trespassers.
  13. Any idea where the instances of off-trail riding have been happening? I've been up D several times and haven't noticed anything unusual.
  14. I've been wondering about that myself.
  15. Are you sure your goggles weren't fogged up during the HGR section of that ride? Bumpy as heck from 37 up to Heart of Muskoka Fries this morning. LOL
  16. I must have just missed you, Scott. We had a late start out of the Division Road lot around 830.
  17. And D is open limited as far north as Stephenson Rd 2.
  18. A reliable source gave me a Port Sydney update today: "the Groomers got the drag on, east side heading to baysville. Baysville is absolutely minty right now"
  19. Not exactly up to date info, but there had been no grooming of D around Port Sydney as of Monday. Sleds have been running it for a while.
