Did inner loop yesterday but miss going all the way thru. Hopefully next year it is back.

Sledguy74 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Headed out for my ride and just outside of Elmira on trail 5-83 just north of Hwy 86 I came across an injured snowmobiler and his sled upside down. I stopped to ask if he was alright and he said he didn’t know where he was and was coughing up a bit of blood. well I’m glad I was by so I called 911 and got him to the emergency services who met us at Hwy 86. Andrew or Anthony from Mississauga I hope your ok and get back out riding room! still managed a 65 mile ride ! Everyone be safe out there ! 1 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact he just got home from another spinal surgery on Saturday I went into shock the night it happened and can still recall every detail of the evening. It can be a traumatic experience to have to be involved as you go into another "super" zone thinking about what to do. Great to have guys like you on the trail. Since that accident I drive very cautiously and slow to the point my friends get bored waiting for me but I still am around and enjoy the sport. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledguy74 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Was on the trail at 8am, didn’t see anyone until 10:15am 118 miles of some really great riding, 90% was groomed this morning or yesterday. always like to see the kids out with dad and mom! even saw what looked like a 1987ist arctic cat cougar with the always stylish back rest cruising the trail Coolest this I saw was a 1981ish arctic panther pulling a old wooden sleigh around a field with the kids on, it was so cool like postcard but my phone had froze so I couldn’t snap a pic. clubs did a great job this morning, only problem was my beard froze to my neck warmer to my helmet and that needed some heat to thaw lmao 4 trailers at then lions park in Elmira 8 trailers at the lot across from the Spot restaurant in Mount Forest 8 trailers at the Loony Toonie lot in Arthur I noticed two Doos with the 4 head lights it looks pretty mean in all black, another had the extra lights on the hand guards that looked good too, I had seen some Yamaha’s with the hard guard lights but those quad light Doos looked pretty cool we have someone who wants to watch Hockey Day In Canada with grandpa and grandma so my day is done ! have a great long weekend everyone 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Farmer Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Anyone know if it is safe to get on coneestoga lake at side road 15 and travel towards side road 18 and then get back on trail. Seen tracks that way too, just not sure where it is un safe to ride on lake, since I know flow rates change on dam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I got on at the end of 15 this morning and rode down towards the dam then up the Drayton arm and got off at the church camp in Hollen. Little bit of slush in a couple of places and lots of snow covered surprises as usual. 3rd time I've done that route this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledguy74 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Went out for a ride after work, just 68 miles around the lake. A few others out, seen 6 trucks in the lions parking lot and a grader was actually plowing it all out so that’s good for those who unload there I didn’t know they maintained it in winter. some guy was riding a summit lmao, looks a little out of place but each to their own Edited February 18, 2021 by Sledguy74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) The groomer came into Bridgeport last night. We are getting spoiled. 2 trips in this season. Maybe Volunteer2 took pitty on me. lol I had eye surgery today so no riding for a couple days at least. And with a reno on going at the house and work piling up I may be done for this year. Warm temps are coming for next week but some snow too. I'll try to squeeze at least one more ride before I pack the sled away. yes, 1 sled to store instead of 3. Will be nice.
