clayfan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I don't know if sone KW area folks are trailering north this weekend, but stop the presses, cancel your plans and ride at home this weekend. I just rode with one of my clients and 2 of his buddies from Kurtsville, to Clifford, Walkerton, lunch at a great Inn, (I forgot the name the food and service was that fantastic, Dun=Somthing I think they said.) Anyway,back on the 108 and south around to Brussels and Listowel and back to the shop in Kutzville. I want to say great job to those clubs. These trails were table top all day. Started at 11am, back on the Pick Up truck before 3pm 100 miles including time for fuel for me for that pig of an Arctic Cat I ride and the lunch stop too. If I did blow it though I had to be home in Niagara for and apointment I shold have cancelled and done another 100miles with the boys tonite. An absolute blast and if your thinking about riding this weekend, just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faceman Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hey Matt. So run that T-Cat up to Tara, catch the rail line north and follow it around towards Owen Sound. You can get gas in chesley/Tara/Allenford/Shallow Lake (all about 20 km appart) Once east of Shallow Lake take the next left (intersection 122) to the Stoney Keppel Clubhouse. From Dunkeld it's about an hour. We'll be there off an on all day. Otherwise, enjoy the weekend. FYI B108 between Port Elgin and Southampton is somewhat "wet" saugeen river is overflowing.

winterules Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Looking at the weather we should be good for another 2 weeks or more . That was a great turn out today at the clubhouse I also was there around noon it seemed like 200 sleds . Watch out on the rail line in the area as Mr. Beaver sometimes likes to drop trees across the trail . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faceman Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hey Matt. Must have missed u by minutes. We left at about 1130, had to run to Wiarton to register for the poker run. Hope you were treated well at our clubhouse(The Shack). Doug??? nope. There was a pile of people there that i didn't know (poker run) Did you try the teetertooter? As of right now we'll be around next weekend, in fact might be running The Shack (if the better half agrees) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f3 800 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Saw the groomer on b109 heading east out of Listowel Saturday around 1pm, then another one in Blyth heading east on the railbed around 4pm. Trails were smooth and fast all day Saturday. Thank you and great job guys! With cold temps all week, next weekend should be great riding once again.

Classic Brian Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Trails were excellent in this area on the weekend. Wife and I did a loop from Mitchell to Durham and back on Saturday, 175 miles and wife is almost 6 months pregnant now. That tells you how smooth the trails were. Hats off to the clubs in this area.

Faceman Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Sunday- Trailered to Big Daddy's Yamaha on the east side of Owen Sound. Rode the B to intersection 142 (it's a club trail that does a loop and comes out several miles south. Trail had just been groomed. And then we ran into this little problem. After our group navigated this we headed south to the Klondike Riders trails. Caught the K4 to K5 and went east on some very nice trails. Went left at 224 and ended up in Walters Falls. From Walters Falls east is a bit of an adventure. The trail winds through a couple of fields and then down and down and down on a mogeled up trail eventually crossing two creeks(bridges) and then back up. We then continued east where we encountered some more water Several spots where we had to go well out of our way to get around. Up to the Meaford Clubhouse and then Ted's Range Road Diner for a bite. (Fantastic food) The return to OS was excellent. Note: there is a short stretch of gravel (200m) on the rail line just before the Best Western.

sledderdan Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Nice photos Randy...do you have a helicoptor? Heading to Meaford this weekend...hoping to ride up from guelph, spend the night and ride back. Folks have their place up for sale so we are going to get up as much as we can!

Faceman Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Your Meaford trails were surprisingly good considering the Meaford club doesn't have a groomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
