Viperules700 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Why not just strap on 20 litres of fuel. This is what I do, when going on a long run. I believe mattawa has 24 hr fuel and north bay should too, if you can into travelodge lodge near strip joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I was thinking about this endeavour. Apart from fuel, you'll want to be mindful of road rash given the recent rain/warm weather. I don't have my local map in front of me, but the bypass near POWASSON is worth noting - as I recall, if you stay on D northbound of TROUT CREEK towards Astorville there's a sign that warns about KM's of road riding. It won't be pleasant if the road's been milled down to pavement. Keep that in mind (assuming by-pass is open) and definietly talk to other riders at that intersection ( 4 a.m. in your case, talking to yourself is o.k. ) before choosing a route. Not sure if there's a similar sign southbound. Good luck in your travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I think that is the section that is closed this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Ok. Thanks. The one constant in many RAP reviews is the road running - when they're snow covered, it's great. I did glance at the interactive guide, and couldn't find the roads. Need to look at my maps to see how they've avoided that road section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, we took it initially, then realized that the SSR 700 was closed, so turned around and did the road. Wasn't bad last Thursday, but if it lost anymore snow, could be dicey.

Club should take down the sign as soon as they have time so as to not create further confusion by sledder's not from the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wimpy Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I should have checked the interactive map on my phone at the intersection, but presumed it was open. Lol. No biggie, we enjoyed some nice extra riding that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
