I would like to take this opportunity to let you all know that the Bervie Community Centre will be hosting our famous Wing Nights going forward. Please look for them on Facebook or through our Facebook page and give them a like and a share at @berviecommunitycentre, or on Twitter at @BervieCommunity. Their email is berviecc@gmail.com, and the phone number will remain the same as it was at the clubhouse 519-395-5467 to place orders for wings and things! It's cheap to eat here:

For those with a Tekvest, did you have to upsize your suit jacket? I'm considering one, but thinking it will take up too much space and restricting movement. Don't want to spend the money on another jacket as this one is 2 yrs old brian

Okay, today's lesson don't accept anything I write without checking it out yourself. I was just informed all the colours is because I didn't have TRAIL Status turned on. Sorry for the confusion. brian

Just opened the ITG on my iPhone. I appreciate how they have assigned colours to indicate Club trails vs Feeder trails, etc, but its now confusing as they are using RED for Trunk Trail as well as Unavailable, GREEN for Connector Trail and Available. There could be hue differences in the colours that I can't see as I'm Red/Green deficient. When I look at the map, is the Huntsville area available or is that just showing me Connector Trails.

oh? too much to know now, especially with all the passwords, lol Thanks for telling me

I'm hoping to play follow the leader...lol. Thanks, I may ask you for your trip plan. brian

There are so many choices, both within and outside of the Province. I have a couple former coworker friends that are in Eastern Ontario I would like to hook up with this winter. I'm going to play the wait and see how D9 makes out for snow before planning trips outside of the area, thinking more late season. brian

Where haven't you been for a while or never had the chance to go there and would like to ride the area this winter? brian

Used set of Rouski Ski Wheels Gen 3 for Ski Doo TS skis. I had them on a 2019 Enduro. One stopper is worn, (see Photo) but they can be rotated to use the newer surfaces. One wheel arm was bent and has been straightened. Replacement arms are available from Fortnine for $15.11 if you wish to replace it. Wheels are in excellent shape. New Gen 3's for the TS ski are listed at Fortnine for $399.00 asking $275.00

None in Kincardine. A lot of rain though. Being so close to the lake, we hold the warmer temperatures longer into the season.

There has been a lot of thefts in the Grey Bruce area recently. Is it because we are too lax, having grown up trusting others?

To anyone that has used the BRP App. -Does it give voice guidance for navigation, i.e. "Turn Left in 100m" ? -Is it a better navigation aid than the ITG? -I don't have a 7.8" display, therefore I would use it on my iPhone with the Glove Box Extension. Is the contrast between background and trail better than the ITG? thanks brian

Starts at 5:30 pm, this Wednesday and goes to the end of March, at the Bervie Clubhouse, 890 Southline Kincardine. Take out only at this time, thanks for asking brian https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fmaps%2Fdir%2F%3Fapi%3D1%26destination%3D44.113534074609%2C-81.511173248291%26fbclid%3DIwAR0RicFYvE3hirIsPKu3DDntQc50nQK_ysv8K7kIAeiX5jfjV-OGNW8hZF0&h=AT3cRB5zZ1Kc_lrFjYo6h10hPNOY6662YVKe3xI7aOMju1rT4my8O35sJRr5CAkBhudMFufvw53cevcnI7HQsBKhtaM9Tv6dw_x-A1mAxqea-sNRAhH4xUtxysXETxwUEwnAjIbaaMmbt8uHKaf-SfsqIls

The first wing night of the season is Wednesday Nov 3rd. Take out only at this time, Covid practices in place. You can phone your order in and pick it up at the scheduled time, (519) 395-5467 brian

just ordered these from Royal Distributing, they give a gift card worth 25% of the purchase https://www.royaldistributing.com/extreme-max-power-wheels-steerable-dolly-5800-02.html

Bought a new set of 5” TS carbides but will hold off until mid winter to install once the trails have a good base As with your findings, 9k on mine and probably 60% of the original carbide thickness still there but very dull

Hmmm. Nothing on the Rouskis. Are you talking about the wheels made by Qualipieces?

I’m not aware of being able to adjust the preload but I will look into this. Thank you brian

After reviewing what everyone is using and finding out what works with the TS ski and what doesn't, I may have to resort to putting the Rouski wheels back on. But before doing that I need to figure out some way to keep them in the retracted position as the spring preload is not enough when conditions are rough, such as going across a ploughed field at speed. The stutter bumps as I call them have caught me twice, where an oscillation sets up causing the wheel to eventual bounce into the engaged position. When that happens that ski catches and almost flips the sled. I'm sure if I rode at the posted speed, (50Kph) this wouldn't be an issue. But in all honesty, an open field, far away from a house, who doesn't open it up a bit. Any suggestions on how to lock the Rouski Wheel in place instead of relying on the spring preload? thanks brian

Just contacted them. Apparently they won’t work on the TS ski because of the dual keel.

saw these ones made in Saskatchewan with air filled wheels. Expensive, but Cdn made and appear to be good quality, meaning not flimsy https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1589255292

Only problem I see with them is the inability to turn. Great idea though

thanks for the suggestions, the skinz are a great idea, but there would be no ability to turn with them on. I've hadn't seen the V shaped dolly....thanks

You don't find they flex and bend too easily? That is what I've read on a oouple reviews

I've taken the Rouski wheels off my TS skis and won't be putting anything like them back on. I have a concrete driveway and want something that I can slip under the skis so the carbides don't damage the driveway. This will be for those occasions I'm not trailering and want to ride through town to get to the trail. Found negatives on just about everything out there. For example, the Extreme Max dollies that secure with two cables, you sometimes need pliers to unhook the cable as they get wedged in and won't come out of their locked position. Maxx Super Savers, flex and bend easily. Some do not fit with the TS Ski as the spindles are much bigger than a standard spindle. Thoughts and suggestions ? thanks brian
