livin' on the b103 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Thanks Blake, I kinda thought that would be the case. When I left Tuesday AM it had been in the -20's for two nites in a row. Looks like a great weekendahead!! Livin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Fenelon to Haliburton B103 snow base fine as of this afternoon. Starting to get bumpier between Kinmount and Haliburton but still ok at reasonable trail speed. Slightly thinner but a bit smoother south of Kinmount.

Blake G Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Getting fuel in Fenelon required running along low snow bank between houses and road. Watch out for hostile older homeowner yelling and brandishing his cane. The turbo Arctic Cat can go pretty good on bare pavement, when necessary.

GrizzlyGriff Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Ha Ha..from the old Donut shop south of the railroad bridge you can run behind it past the community arena and go beside Canadian Tire to cross the road to the UltraMar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Bumped into OC member snow 4 dancer and his dad today at the junction of B103 and E108. We discussed the joys of midweek sledding while IREVerent and Mrs IREVerent waited patiently for me up the trail a bit. The Dancers live in Grimsby, and snowmobile out of Snowcrest territory from their cottage, near Trail 4 in Severn Bridge. Near neighbours with Extreme600 at both ends!

irREVerent Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Blake, thanks for joining Mrs. irREVerent and I on a nice "tune-up" ride today down the rail line between Haliburton and Fenelon Falls, and back...total of 135 kms +. Brought back lots of memories from our many years of riding in that area when we had a cottage in Haliburton County. Conditions were quite acceptable all the way down, except for a bit of a challenge to/from get to the gas station, as Blake mentioned above. I'm sure the old guy with the cane is still mumbling to himself. Oh, and here's a lunch recommendation for others riding to or from Haliburton...when we got back to Head Lake Park around 1:15, we loaded the sleds and then wandered across the street to a restaurant/bakery called "Baked & Battered". Very good food in a nice casual atmosphere, with lots of variety, good daily specials and everything seemed to be fresh. It also has a separate room just for fish and chips (lots of choice), and since it is a bakery as well, lots of sweet treats to pick from. Of course, Blake had to sample the butter tarts to confirm their legitimacy [newsflash -- I don't think any of the ones he bought made it all the way home with him... ] Everything was well-priced given the calibre of the offerings, so I would highly recommend it.

barberch Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Great day on the rail trail today. Not sure why the Pinery trails are GREEN though? Met lots of nice folks too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infernobuster Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Pinery trails not good? Did you end up any farther south than fenelon, as the Lindsay trail just went yellow. Curious if anyone rode them today.. As we're headed up tomorrow for a rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorches Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 A guy at work lives in Lindsay and he walked his dog on rail trail yesterday. He said there were a few sleds go by. He said there's a solid base but needs snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dufftom Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Stay away from the restaurant Livings talking about,it's called the Dock Side.There is a new place on Cameron Lake called This Place on Cameron,just behind Fenelon Marina,just off the trail before the bridge heading north,after the bridge heading south.When Cameron Lake is safe KLSC stakes a trail to the door.The owner of This Place on Cameron worked at Dock Side they treated her like crap,all the regulars are going to her place now.For some reason her add signs out on the trails are going missing,wonder who is taking them down.The food is sooooo good and the price's are right.

barberch Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 we did go south on the rail trail. We turned around almost at Thunderbridge. The snow was thinner and we were not getting a lot of lube, but it was great! As flat as can be and fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dufftom Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 so you can not get there now??? Yes you can,just a short ride west on county rd 8 which is the road by the school parking lot,then right on the road just before the marina,or if the marina is open you can go through there lot and its right there when you go through the back gates of the marina.

infernobuster Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It won't matter after tomorrow with the amount of rain coming in, but damn someone put the Lindsay rail trail back to red. The trail from thunder ridge over to the gas station is closed and there is no snow.. Other than that decent day, but I think you'll see most trails go to red by tomorrow.. Sigh ..
