02Sled Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 If the north is full up for accommodations try heading east, way east. Saw on the news last night New Brunswick and Newfoundland are getting about 40 cms of fresh snow. Lucky #$%^ Was in downtown Port Severn yesterday.... trails are cooked unless you want to beat up on your sled. Too much snirt and too many bare spots. We saw one die hard sledder pull into the Amco for breakfast but that was it. Lots of ice still but some parts of the ice come with lots of slush as well.

sledjunk Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I am not sure about the saddle bag idea. My preference would be to base in Kap and ride the local loops. Would allow for recovery for those who "discuss trail conditions" into the wee hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevester Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Booked at the comfort inn Kirkland Lake Friday and the westway Saturday and Sunday in Cochrane. Plan is arriving at comfort inn at noon Friday then a ride around Kirkland Lake. Saturday morning head to Cochrane via timmins for a longer run. Then head to smooth rock falls and kap then back to Cochrane Sunday ride. Back to Kirkland Lake the short way through Iroquois Falls Monday.

Richy1010 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 "Was in downtown Port Severn yesterday.... trails are cooked unless you want to beat up on your sled.

Actually the trails from port severn to georgian bay are more than adequate. From the Amco under the 400 is obviously all dirt but after that the trail is 99% snow covered. Leaving behind the Amco to little lake is still all good ice ( no open water yet). Taking the trail from little go home bay to South Bay is more than passable to get to georgian bay. Wouldn't be using new carbides though. As for gbay, there is remarkably very little slush. Road to hope island yesterday and was presently surprised. From west side of giants tomb straight to hope is 13 km. first 1km was snow covered pack ice( a lot rough but could have been worse) and the rest was a very smooth ride with a few small cracks to avoid. Heading out now to see if getting to trail 17 is doable and will be riding from honey harbour to parry sound the rest of the week... Lots of ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ice should be good for a while yet as you mentioned. 17 is likely one of the best options since it really is a chain of lakes and then of course Georgian Bay itself. Just a matter of getting to it depending on where you start from. That's the good thing about the area. You can usually count on extending the riding by hitting the ice.

Chandos_rob Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 My late riding partner is officially out, so I'm planning on either heading to new liskard( like to start there but not sure trails will hold up for return) or Cochrane probably Sunday or Monday, but flexible. I'd like to head towards Hearst and possible down to Wawa, but not sure where I'll stop each night. I'd love to meet up with some OC'ers either for a day or longer, but don't want to be a third wheel. In reading this thread, maybe I should do day rides out of kap or somewhere, but would like to cover some more ground. Five days riding, two days driving? Anyways, I'm easy, just want to get some more sledding in, and will have an extra spot on my trailer, just not sure if I'm leaving from TO, or Apsley.
