AdamGamble Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Anyone know how the d101b is from Dorset to Kearney. Have the whole family up in bracebridge this weekend and some unfortunate weather conditions will force us to trailer somewhere close to ride. Looking to ride Friday morning and Saturday morning. Thinking of trailering to Dorset one day and maybe Elmsdale or Burks falls another. I no they had some rain today but it's supposed to get cold tonight so whatever was left should freeze up solid. Any input would be much appreciated as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Crap if you had posted last week, I could've given you a 1st hand report (a friend cottages adjacent) to the Oxbow Lake portion. She was up there last week. Looking @ the ITG it's yellow. They have done some quite a bit of work to eliminate road running in the Billie Bear area.

rockerdan Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I got Tims E-update last night it sounded great, but today it rained abit. And now Sunday is looking MILD with rain again. Saturday might be a good ride dwight to kearney or so? I was wondering same myself. I ran D trail from port sydney this past saturday up to aspdin rd, then ran yearly rd to Sprucedale, once I got to seguin it was decent. But D below sprucedale was not even packed. Ran to baysville sunday from Mary lake, what a joke. HGR did not even try to pack at all, only one small area near their shack was all. Blue tracks from GPS show sat and sun ride, if you want to call it that...ugh what a poor winter. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not enough cold, snow, or volunteers to get those trails open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockerdan Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Here is Tims update as of last night: Just a quick update. The trails are shaping up great. Most of our trails will be green by the weekend. We will get the rest of Oxtongue Lake staked and also Dotty Lake with signage for the new trail to reduce the road running. It may be a week or two to get Penn Lake and Lake of Bays staked. I have added quite a few more people to my contact list so for them here is the link to our SPOT GPS unit showing where we are grooming and where we have been. Also a reminder trail 65 from the ASC Shelter to Troutspawn Lake will be closed due to logging. It will be open next year and be even better. Attached is a picture from tonight on trail 78. Conditions are like mid season. I tried to do a video but it wasn't very good. Will have to get the GoPro going. Good Night from Oxtongue Lake. Tim Drouin and a pic from him grooming...

You are 100% correct Blake, I have offered many times as its my backyard. Apparently the first run/pack on the BR is tricky, and they want a certain person to do that, and rounding up the gang has been slow this season at HGR so ive heard. Seeing what Tim has been doing at ASC and the gang down at tall pines with the same snow is night and day. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I will be riding Friday there as well, going to drop at Emsdale then head towards Dorset and run those trails, depending on Conditions might go back Sunday. Positive note is they are calling for 10cms of snow Thursday. Anyone know how the d101b is from Dorset to Kearney.

Blake G Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Is overnight parking available at the visitors centre in Elmsdale? Don't get excited about all the snow in this photograph; I took it a couple of years ago. The sign states that parking is available for up to eight hours. I would think the rule exists to cope with the busy summer tourism season, but it might apply year round because of snow removal concerns....

rockerdan Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Much of 101 from Dwight north is now Green, might try to head up that way SAT if I can get to dwight from Mary Lake... My HGR trails have had a PASS made on them, and I was told they have all been packed with exception of below the swamp to baysville. However they remain RED as of tonight, should see them go yellow tomorrow before weekend, unless HGR wants to keep traffic down for some reason.

Pota Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Rode from Dwight to South River today( d101b and d trail ) The interactive guide is spot on! The green trails were superb, a few rough spots where yellow is showing but well worth the trip. Don't know how it will hold up for the weekend but great today.

rockerdan Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Just an FYI, as expected MUCH of the HGR trails opened today(officially) So running from Mary Lake to Dwight is now a go. Hoping to get over that way saturday before the mild and showers get here sunday. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
