Blake G Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Anybody thinking of sledding tomorrow in the Muskoka area?Nunz?A few of us had some good rides about three weeks ago, and with today's dense snow I expect certain places will be ok tomorrow. I called the Haliburton Forest and they are open, and have done a bit of grooming. Still charging half price, which is 25 bucks. They said they got about seven inches in the past 24 hours, and their web cam confirms that estimate. They think they'll be busy on Saturday, but not so much tomorrow. Open at 8 in the morning. About an hour and a quarter truck ride from Gravenhurst, which is doable, but not ideal.I have a couple of other ideas that would be a little closer for me.I anyone has any other suggestions, I would like to hear them.I might also consider running around on the roads near town.

Nunz Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'm working Friday but I am off Saturday buddy and would be open to ideas potentially.... Sorry amigo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowTouringGuy Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Not tomorrow thanks. Gotta take a rest - Did far too much today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonCalling Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Blake. I'm LondonCalling. Even though its over a 4 hr drive from London, I would be willing to get out. But I can only go Saturday. I could be in Haliburton by 9am or meet you in Gravenhurst about 8am. I know I've never ridden with you, but if you trust or know Sledjunk, he can vouch for me. And if it means anything I'm club VP of Science Hill Drifters in St. Marys near London District 5 (the ones attempting a world record on Feb 8) I need to get some break in miles on the new 800 Renegade XRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Perfect. Let's make it happen. Supposed to still be chilly tomorrow. then a high on Saturday of only plus 1. Haliburton Forest opens at 8 a.m. and will likely be busy on Saturday (I've only been there once, which was last month, but I called them this afternoon), but I would assume that if we got there around nine we'd be in good stead. Some of the backroads near Gravenhurst will likely be ok first thing tomorrow morning, but more questionable for Saturday, after the plows and sanders and traffic do their thing. There are other possibilities involving logging roads "slightly" closer to Gravenhurst, but I will need to check a couple of things tomorrow first. Let's communicate by PM to work out the details..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Guys I'll ride with u Saturday if your heading out just let me know.. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Right on, Nunz. Will text or PM with details for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonCalling Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I will confirm tomorrow after lunch as well. Would love some logging roads too with a longer track now, but I only have Saturday and I think I would prefer the slightly more sure thing. Conditions in the forest are reported as poor to marginal but i suspect that was prior to today (Thurs) I'm not worried about privacy so feel free to text me at 1-519-495-5145 as at work it is faster instead of sending a PM I'm also going to call and book to make sure to be one of the 100 once I'm confirmed.

Domino Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'm also going to call and book to make sure to be one of the 100 once I'm confirmed. You'll be riding on gravel before they would tell you that they had exceeded the artificial limit. I hope your enjoy your ride.

Nunz Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I really like mine. The extra power is very noticeable, but the ride is good. Thanks for asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hi Re: Leaf. So far so good with the zr9000. Need better conditions to take full advantage though. We'll have to get sledding together this year. I remember last year you kind of got tied up with a lot of work related to the Toronto wind storm.
