coldfinger Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 We headed up to Kirkland Lake for our annual tour. We left early Saturday morning from the comfort inn and headed further north to Cochrane, the trails were excellent! waste deep snow, there were a few fallen trees we had to clear off the trail but besides that trails were incredible. Sunday morning we made our way to Smooth Rock and from there we went to Timmins and stayed at Post 392! Great hospitality, we will for sure be going back there. Monday we made our way back to Kirkland lake. We put on 438 miles, and all the trails were awesome. No complaints about our trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Kearny/Sundridge was amazing on Thursday X2 and was great Friday and Saturday too! I went thru deerhurst on d102b on Friday and it was smooth like a highway. Couldn't believe it. Got to deerhurst and the place was filled with hockey players. What a great day. Trails were so good I stayed until Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Went from Gravenhurst to Port Sydney then on way back upt Summerland restaurant. It was really bumpy, sort of like mogul skiing on a sled. It was nice to get out though, since there's not even a snowflake here in Oshawa. How was the highway tunnel crossing under highway 11. It was deep water when I went thru on Friday. When I come out of the water and back Ono the ice, bumped my head on cement tunnel. Forgot how low it was in there.

Cat800ltd Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 He won't show me... Just says there "critical items" I'm guessing shovel, beacon, flash frozen foods and o2 tanks. He doesn't like to ride D5 without them incase he sees a snow bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat800ltd Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 And in all honesty, Derek talked me into a backpack this year for the first time. After my first ride, my tunnel bag was completely soaked. Belt, supposedly dry gloves, map, tools etc. I actually liked the back pack to be honest. Everything I need is easy access, and when I go into a restaurant or leave my sled, I have piece of mind knowing my 200 belt is with me, and not at the mercy of someone else snooping around. You hear stuff stolen more and more every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aar0n Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Its just most douche bags that are sideways around corners, wrong side of the trail, making moguls after every intersection and middle of the trail, inconsiderate non signalling frigs ride with open helmets and back packs. Mostly ski doo rider's in my experience with these douche bags.delete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskoka Man Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Most of the douches are the ones driving daddys Escalade with a 4 bed trailer and block in the other trailers at staging areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always wonder how much the backpack "wears" into the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Now with no ripcord gotta have booster cables too. make sure the clips on your booster cables aren't too big for the terminals on your sled battery and the space you have to access them. I found a guy trail side a couple of years ago that had taken the cables from his truck only to find that they wouldn't fit the space. The cables I carry have smaller than typical clips and we were able to get him going and on his way. Even if the clips fit your sled will they fit the one you're getting a boost from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always wonder how much the backpack "wears" into the shoulders. Surprisingly, it doesn't as long as you have a bag with a sternum strap. I've tried numerous bags from cat and skinz. And without goiing as far as a true hard case, the backpack has worked best so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
