Baylaker Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 My buddy and managed to put on about 750kms in Sudbury over the past few days. Finally got my sled broken in. Day one we did the wolf loop, trails could've been in better shape. I thought forsure they would've been table top. But still ok I guess, it was good to have some rough chop to see what the viper could do and it performed really well! Day 2 we did the moose loop. Again, trails were ok. Yesterday we just rode around for a bit and managed to put on around 150km or so. The lodge itself was pretty cool, way better than staying at any hotel/motel. Rooms were pretty tight, but really cool! Who needs a tv anyways. Just a place to lay your head and get up and go! I wish breakfast was served a little earlier. I'm used to getting up and going for around 7am when the trails are usually in way better shape. 8:30am is a little late for me and probably explains why the trails were in the conditions they were. But again, not bad considering the later starts. Good service and friendly people! My buddy made a joke about my viper not starting and his doo firing right up. We'll guess what? Viper started, but it took a while. And his doo who ups hardly turn over! Hahaha! Thanks to gr8toy and his buddies (the Frenchman) we managed to start it up. They stuck around and cut into their own riding time for us! Even offered us a spare sled they weren't using! Many thanks and very much appreciated guys! Hopefully we'll be able to meet again for a ride together next time. We saw a moose on the last day! Man those things are huge!!! I came around a corner and it was right there. Started running away from me into the bush. Good thing they got long legs otherwise they wouldn't be going too far in that snow! Didn't really stop for many pictures, we did get a few though.

jrhz06 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Thanks for the report. Too bad the trails weren't better for you. We were told that its a 36hr run to groom the Wolf Loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylaker Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ya I don't doubt it. We saw lots of groomers out so it's not like they weren't grooming it. One groomer spit a track just north of windy lake restaurant. It's was definitely a combination of later morning starts and probably some heavy traffic on family day weekend they were still trying to clean up from. I definitely wasn't disappointed, because there was some really nice sections and other sections were a little rougher but it was ok because I wanted to see what the viper was capable of. And I'm very impressed with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
