Ultrafrozen Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 So you are leaving KL Feb 17, riding to Cochrane and doing the Canyon on the same day? You must be going to the canyon up the west side? Let me know what your plans are for supper in KL and the wife and I may join you. I'll send you a PM with numbers.

Nunz Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 That's the plan, the alternative would be doing the Canyon and riding to Kap on the same day, not sure if thats viable or not... Dinner sounds like a great plan, we are pretty much open to ideas.. Thanks Nunz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The canyon to kap is no problem. We have done Hearst-Canyon-Cochrane in a day no problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 2 more sleeps till we leave, gonna do the PET ride tommorrow and hit the highway first thing Sunday morning, hope to get a little ride around Kirkland Lake Sunday before we head out for Cochrane Monday morning, weather forecast looks great for the week... Hope all of you have a excellent long weekend...Will give some updates through out the ride.. Take care Nunz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzlyGriff Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Do the canyon clockwise...way cheaper on fuel due to the cost at the canyon.... but then again if you are continuing to Kap probably faster counterclockwise. I'm jealous...have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Day one on the books.. Trails were mint., got a bit lost leaving Kirkland lake but once we got that sorted out Everything was great.. Took the A trail into cochrane still cannot believe how fast running u can do up here, Going to JR's for some yummy ribs shortly. Going to do the canyon tommorrow then stay in Kap, if the rest of the Week is anything like today I may not want to leave, Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks Bill, it's the sport the people and just being able to get out and see parts of Ontario that you just can't see other than the winter. Also knowing that so many volunteers make it all possible for us... quote name="Wildbill" post="154626" timestamp="1392680891"] May you guys have a great time I get a kick out of you guys you are great people loving the sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 All I can say is wow... I didn't think snowmobiling could ever be like what we rode today!! Left Cochrane, did the canyon stopped at smooth rock and had a bite at family restaurant then continued on to Kapuskasing. Saw one of white dragons OC stickers on the clubs big signs.. Another at extreme tours for gas, just OC sticker. Trails are mint and weather has been perfect, our friend Don is driving a 900 Ace and I have to admit I really didn't like it very much, it does get great gas mileage though, The super 8 here in kapuskasing is really nice. Long ride tommorrow to hornepayne.. Take care all Nunz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Have a great ride thru Hearst. When you cross the highway in town on the "A" behind a park / baseball field (on the left), I live in one of the apartments facing the field, literally right off the trail. Calling for some really mild temps, nice riding weather, but harder on the belts. Give 'er snot boys ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 We have made it to Hornepayne in good time today, hit a few snow squalls but trails up here are the best I've ever ridden. Staying at Uncles rest and cabins, looks decent enough.. Am surprised at how few sledders we are seeing, off to chapeau tommorrow, we r going to stop and say hi to luc the groomer guy on our way. Cheers I'll post pics once I get home next week Nunz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Glad that Uncle's is still open. I believe that they no longer sell fuel, but glad that cabins are there and restaurant is open for the community to gather. It sounds like you're having a great trip!

Nunz Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Your correct Canuck they don't sell fuel, food was good and cabin was clean, can't really ask for much more. I know we will be back up here again for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
