Had a good ride in this area yesterday. launched from Rec Center in Milverton, looped down around Seaforth, up to visit buddy in Blyth then back. Trails were fast and good, although some bush was thin.
Anyone know why a few short sections of the multi-use railline south of Blyth have the gates closed? Each closed section has a staked ride-around.

Thanks guys. where to park in Milverton?
Has anyone got a trail report for the area from today?
-
Has anyone got suggestion where to park for the day near highway 8, just west of Stratford.
We will be sledding north toward Wingham. Any recent trail reports also appreciated. Thanks

OP is asking about a possible province-wide shutdown.
Having known him for a long time, Motorhead can generally not be trusted so I hope he is wrong on this.

We did about 250 km today between Barrie Midland Penetang and up to Thunder Beach. Rode railline and many sidetrails, all yellow. Alot of snirt in the south and a bit better north of Midland. Bush terrible and field OK. Got very loose in the afternoon and it will probably be all ice tomorrow if there is no snow tonite.
Obviously, the area needs more snow and cold. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are OK with 'marginal conditions'. Regardless, I'm glad I got out.

Duplicate, sorry

Anyone ridden these trails today or yesterday? Any comments on whether they have been groomed recently would be appreciated.

When do these restrictions come into effect?

What , if any, is protocol for the red section in Dundalk? Signed trail closed? Reroute , or mums the word? Think this section is just the continuous rail bed correct ?
asking for a friend.
I heard from a friend that there is no closed trail signs or detours at that location.
The purpose of the red section is to remind you not to use snowmobiles and OFSC trails to travel from one health unit area to another. This reminder on the map would presumably cause some, but undoubtedly not all, riders to adjust their day trip plans accordingly. Therefore the red section can be considered effective

We rode Orangeville, Dundalk, Mt Forest, then up the B111 towards Durham and back.
Railline was most pretty flat with a few stones on top. Other trails were variously rough, groomed with some mud cuts (nothing really bad). Generally to too bad considering how little snow is there and no freeze. The sled needs a wash after that.

Thanks for the replies guys. I thought I had seen some discussion about it a few months ago, but I guess not.
I'll go take my chances and hope they groomed it
-
Is there a way to monitor activity of the OFSC/club groomers so we could estimate when last a specific trail was groomed? I'm specifically interested in D4/D9 groomers.
As an example, on the Quebec app you can see the elapsed time since each trail section was last groomed.

I check out OC to get information relevant to snowmobiling. I don't go to OC to hear the political views and slurs of PLC, stoney and Muskoka1. You guys will eventually shut the light out here, just like all the other forums.

I did 200 km in there today. Conditions were better than I expected. Mostly a decent base under the fresh snow on all the main trails. I like side trails but they were not groomed, rough and with water in spots in places. Many low branches, don't put your new visor on yet.

I like yours better than my friends set. I always tease him as his look more like two vibrators . Long trips they are functional
The sledding demographic is certainly getting up there. In the old days, we worried about melting pistons when far from base. Now, the big issue is where to store the boot warmers, vibrators, slippers and ‘show n shine’

Interesting, thanks for the info. I had a few decent trips in D4/D9, it is always nice to ride from near home.

My family pulled stakes and signs today. A perfect social distancing activity

Interestingly, my sled bucked me off yesterday when riding the side of a roadside snowbank. The sled stayed rubber side down and rolled down the road about 20ft. It would probably have stopped moving somewhat sooner if I was attached to the tether.
My earlier smart-ass comment on this thread must have gave me a bit of bad karma!!

I think I recall seeing only about 5 riders over the past 20 yrs wearing tether. I guess they must have all posted in this topic

OK, that makes sense.
