marcs Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 That would be helpful.Will look you up for a place to sleep if timing is right and you have room.We usually just fly by the seat of our pants on these trips so we never know where or when we'll end up.Thanks.Marc.

lillabellelodge Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The guys that came up from New Liskeard said the trails were in excellent shape they had no problems.If you plan on landing in Cochrane for a night try and give us kind of a heads up Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Phase Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Is everything still good between Gogama and Timmins (trails and fuel)? Also, does anyone know how late Ernie's (Missanabie) will be staying open this year? We will be coming through the last week of March. We can likely make Dub. on fuel, but it's always good to gas up and grab a great burger at Ernie's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to call him over the weekend and will post info here Yup, the Ernieburgers are THE BEST anywhere! And you should ask Ernie if you still have to run the 15 miles of road from Chapleau to his place. That's what it was like at the end of February when we were through there. Apparently the beaver dam had broken through somewhere along the trail,pretty far in so Ernie stuck a little piece of cardboard to a tree telling us the "F" trail had to follow the road all the way in to Missisabie. That's a looong way on the road especially if there's not much snow on them! But the detour was definitely worth it! Have a great ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsleder Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Got home on the March 14 Stated in Sudbury, not much snow headed to Timmins the trail were all in good shape there was a little road running, from timmins to kapuskasing then back to cochrane to new Liskeard and back to Sudbury. If I was going up next week I would start at New Liskeard and go west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcs Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Decided late Saturday to postpone trip for a few days.According to the weather network it was going to be warm for a few days then turning colder with snow starting thursday and into next week.I don't know if trusting TWN is a good idea but thats what we did.Would still appreciate trail and weather reports through the week regarding the same trip.Thanks.

jigger Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The trails around Kapuskasing are in great shape. I did 100 km run this afternoon. Might go for another 100+ run tomorrow. The weather network is calling for 5-10 tomorrow night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
