wikdslo Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi everyone. To begin: I don't own my own sled, just renting for a day, but used to sled a lot as a kid, but since moving to Toronto have not had the $$$ or the facilities to justify owning one. It is something I am looking to acquire in the near future though! The trip: I am renting from Power Sport Sales and Rentals in Barrie, which I'm told is right near trail #203. I was wondering how hard it would be for me to get from their location to Creemore and back in a day? I know driving a car is about an hour doing 80 km/h the whole way, and is a bit more of a direct route. Excuse my ignorance but I really have no idea what kind of travel time I'd be looking at for a trip like that. Anyone make any suggestions if this is even feasable? Or if I'd be better off going somewhere else? I suggest Creemore because I have a cousin there, which I could stop in and have a quick bite then head back. The rental is from 9am to 5pm this Sunday. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reved Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 You are closer to Orillia then Barrie, so the distance is about an 1 1/2 by trail to Barrie by the 203 and B. That is for an experienced rider. Barrie to Cremoree is about another 1 1/2 to 2 hours, again for an experienced rider who knows where they are going with no problems. Are you riding alone or with a first time rider? It would be better to ride with someone else for your first time back out. Getting stuck alone can be a real pain, never mind for an inexperienced rider. I would suggest an easier ride for the first ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest an easier ride for the first ride. It's just myself and the gf. No other people to ride with, and she has never driven a sled at all. I DO have a gps, although it is more of a city street GPS, it will at least help me in case anything serious were to happen (like getting completely lost) I plan on sticking to the main trails, and will have a trail map handy along with a cell phone. But otherwise, anyone care to suggest a better trip to take? I'd like something that will take up most of the day and have some fast parts and some slow parts, and nice scenery, no water!

wikdslo Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'd also consider a trip up to the town of Tiny which is just northeast of Elmvale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
