tedcuthbert Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Streets are dry and salt free downtown Toronto today, so I rode the motorcycle in to work. Much rather be snowmobiling though, I was really looking forward to my first ride of the season this weekend. Going to push the trip to the cottage ahead a week or, two. Still think we'll have a good season after we get through this forcasted warm temps & rain. As many of you have mentioned, this seems to happen every year, and can be followed by some great Feb & March riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 You know, I was thinking about gender when typing that, lol. Pretty sure "Ted" uses the hombre bathroom. Were you the "guy" riding a bike in year's past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski-dog Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Well I think mother nature is basically having a hissy fit. Winters are definently different the last number of years and like it or not sledding is a shortened season. That said not certain how folks can complain about the cost of a trail permit. Tells me that these folks do not understand how the system is operated and maintained. It's a bargain when all facts are considered and many people put in tons of volunteer hours for us to enjoy. The ones that crack me up the most are folks who buy expensive sleds, add expensive accessories then moan about the price of a permit. If all the work that was done on trails was completed by folks earning money permits would be about $2k a season. The weather is out of everyone's control but we will all feel the pinch from that. On the boat front I feel like I'm getting it there too from mother nature. Where did the 7 ft of water go from Georgian Bay. Have had to keep adding dock the last few years and it's up to 110 ft but water keeps going down and at current levels won't be enough. As level out that far plateau's for a 1/4 mile no option to extend. Need a new boat but won't be buying one or it would sit around like my new sled . Of course will still go to show and look but hopefully not buy (didn't listen to myself on the new sled though) Downside is that all a sled needs a quick blast of snow and good to go. Filling up Georgian Bay? may not live long enough to see the way things are going. Could trailer or dock at Marina (that has been dredged) but defeats reason for living on the bay. I know wahh wahh wahh, ok rant for today done....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 WINTER FAIL HERE,EVERYTHINGS GONE(WHAT LITTLE WE HAD)....ALL MELTED WITH OUT ANY RAIN,SNOW THEY WERE CALLING FOR NEXT WEEK NO MORE....FAIL.......SAW A TON OF SLEDS FOR SALE TODAY AT THE END OF PEOPLES DRIVEWAYS......WINTERS ARE NOT THE SAME ANYMORE!!! Seems like we are struggling to get enough snow to ride one day here in d5. Got in 125km so far on my own property and down the hydro line here. I didn't ride on the ofsc trails until feb 21 last year. My last ride was in Kearny for a few days in early march, before the big early melt came. Hopefully we get some snow soon.

Mother Nature is definitely into menopause, hot flashes and shivers ..... That will really set your trails up nice and hard. Will make the base hold the snow longer Into the spring. Wish we could keep a base though a mild spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
