GrizzlyGriff Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thinking a run on the old trail out of here through long lake and over to six mile lake and down through gloucester pool may be a good plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravinerat Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'm open on Wed. I could trailer to Swift Rapids and either run over or meet you at Swift Rapids. I'm up for anything. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I just got off the phone with GrizzlyGriff. I am going to sled from Gravenhurst tomorrow morning, to meet with him and WhiskyWhizard at 915 at Bayview Wildwood. Our planned route from there is westward across Matchedash Lake to B105, then up to 17 to Swift Rapids Lock. From there we're going west on 12 to 14, to 15, to C, then northward via 11C, 11B, and 11A to rejoin C, then north to C101D. At that junction we're going to wend toward Gravenhurst using as many lakes as possible, with some travel on C101D. I will stop at Gravenhurst for my nap, while the hardcore sledders continue down 15 to Sparrow Lake and back to Bayview Wildwood. We would welcome anyone who is able to join us somewhere along the route, or any comments about our planned route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Let's hope so. I might be worn out by then but GrizzlyGriff is a bear. Haven't met WhiskyWizard yet, but if he's hanging around with Grizz, he must be able to keep up the pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskywizard Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'll try to keep up. I left the Renegade 800 at home and brought the GSXse 600. I'll catch up when you're stopped for gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 We enjoyed our cruise out of Bayview Wildwood today. Local trail guide Steve came with us to put us to the test with some ideas about non-sacntioned trails that haven't been forgotten. Here he is squished between WhiskyWizard and GrizzlyGriff. Steve took this photo of me, GG and WW on top of the Swift Rapids lock. We stopped at the Bala Falls Pub for a very good lunch. We loved their carrot and ginger soup.

Blake G Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Ravine Rat showed up today to turn us into the Four OC Amigos. I met the gentlemen on Muldrew Lake, then we headed up Lake Muskoka for a photo op overlooking the lake. We were Five OC Amigos for a few minutes, while I spoke with WildBill on the telephone, for some expert advice about an Arctic Cat with no electrical power. Once again the advice was bang on, and we were mobile within minutes. We cruised freshly groomed trails to Northland Rec so WhiskyWizard could chat with his buddy. We also bumped into BlakeSnowcrest, who works at Northland. We continued toward 37 until we encountered a young fellow out on a demo ride, who manged to get himself stuck in a soft ditch. Ravine Rat gave us an authentic demo of how to un-bury a sled, and everyone was soon back on the trails. Lunch was at Cindy's Café in Port Sydney, and everyone was pleased as usual. After some road running and more mint trails, we stopped to inspect Pete Z's warm-up shack on B Trail. GrizzlyGriff, Ravine Rat and WhiskyWizard were just as energetic as they had been at the start of the day: We raced along B and some "unofficial" routes until we eventually landed at Summerland Store for the last trail stop of the day. We weren't there long, but heard a rumour about STG heading out on a secret voyage tomorrow, to Points East. Blake G, WhiskyWizard, GrizzlyGriff, Ravine Rat: I parted ways with the guys in the middle of Kahshe Lake, and we confirmed later that everyone had finished the trip safely. Here's to another successful day on the trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskywizard Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks for posting the travelogue Blake. It was a great day.

ravinerat Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It was an awsome day and trails were perfect. Got to run my new Renegade (to me) up Lake Moskoka in 8" of powder. Playing in the tight and twisty. Did my initiation in the "lets blow the corner club". Ok well twice but don't think anyone saw the second. Yup, the kid sure was stuck. Love getting people unstuck and showing him how easy it was. Not sure what his plan B was if we didn't happen along. Thanks for being the tour guide Blake. as usual you did a great job. What a great crew to ride with and I haver never eaten so much snow dust. Hy Revester it's back to work on Fri. Been off for a week and all good things have to come to an end. I was up fishing with our buddy yesterday. Have fun up at the camp. I'd to get up there before the season ends. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
