Roweboat70 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Trail managers are finishing staking some areas that still had crops. Signage inspections have started and we should see some of the trails starting to be groomed and moving to limited shortly. Still require more snow for some areas, like plowed fields, etc. I know everyone is eager to get out, but please refer to the OFSC interactive map for trail availability. Respect Landowners and stay off closed trails. -Roweboat Quote
firecat7 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Good to hear Roweboat,,,keep us posted on the trails! Quote
Roweboat70 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 Good news, most of the Mount Forest area trails are been updated to limited availability. Currently 388 to 607, 406 to 409 and 406 to Hwy 89 are still closed, but are very close to opening also. Be alert for groomers on trails that are listed as limited availability. Volunteers having been working hard with land owners, clearing trees and getting signage up and inspected to open the trails. Please check the OFSC interactive trail guide before heading out. Please ride safe and respect land owners. Quote

Talked with a volunteer and landowner from Mount Forest. He is majorly POed with the pipes. He is saying if there isn't a stop to them there probably will be more road running. Anyway, preaching to the choir here probably. 2 Quote

At least he was going warp speed so the loudest part didn't last long for me. I hope the kids in the caboose were impressed cause I wasn't. Rant done 2 Quote
Blackstar Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Why anyone would want to listen to an obnoxiously loud exhaust all day is beyond me. There are plenty of Quiet mufflers now available that are hardly distinguishable from stock but those don't seem to be the choice. I was standing at the counter of Royal a couple of weeks ago and the guy beside me asks for a muffler for a '13 800 Etec." I want the MBRP because I hear its louder " he says.... Oh boy....lol Edited January 4, 2017 by Blackstar 2 Quote
Canuck Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Fast boats on the lake seem to leave a sonic boom behind them. I wonder if it's as loud in the boat/ on the sled as around them. Occasional sonic boom in our kitchen. I'll ask her if she hears herself when I gather the courage. "Bill wants to know". 1 Quote
volunteer2 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Ya and apparently the asshats are on it with the pipes past an Old Order Mennonite church on a Sunday. That is what my buddy is really POed about. We all know they own a lot of land we are able to ride on FOR NOW!!!! Quote

Sledguy74 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Just wondering if you can still park and unload behind the Spot Restaurant on Hwy 6? Been a while sense we trailered there. Edited January 6, 2017 by Sledguy74 Quote
Sledguy74 Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 63 miles today, not a big loop we didn't start till 10 trails from Tevoitdale to Mount Forest were a bit choppy but ok Palmerston trails were not bad at all, grooming had heard up despite the traffic. thx to the clubs for all their hard work Every parking lot on Tevoitdale was packed with trucks and trailers..... Apparently there was a cow wandering the trail west of Mount Forest but we didn't see anything Quote
ToSlow Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 That cow wonders free, never leaves the field it grazes in, anyone reading this tread it is the first farm just west of the spot resturant that the trail runs through. the owner is nice enough to let the trail run behind he farm so please do not try chasing the cow on your sled 1 Quote
