Carm Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Roger and I are planning a day ride for tomorrow. Driving up from the GTA, drop in Sudbury, riding by 10am, lunch at Auld Reekies and then back to Sudbury/truck and home. Local intel on groomer activity and conditions would be appreciated. Also info on the best place to park/stage in Sudbury area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: that is a long drive for a day sled ride though, if coming from Newmarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do it a couple times a season, we both have Wednesdays off and do the majority of our riding 3+ hours north because the trails are so much better. Is the STP clubhouse shown as parking location on ITG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kered Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Carm; Just woke up, groomed "C" Shining Tree to Sudbury split point, Sudbury was up a couple of days ago. GEM has a groomer on A107C right now from Gowganda, almost to the "C" trail as we speak. All should be green by day's end. Reported mine last evening. Hope this helps, Derek.

kered Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Auld Reekie is best, we just have microwave stuff in a general store with no seating. Snacks/ non- alcoholic drinks / fuel/ oil & other sled related items. Not advertising, you asked. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupkids Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Launch from the STP Building in Garson and head north. Rail bed is fast and lost of snow. Lake is even faster with just enough snow for lube. I would recommend scratches down all the time especially running at speed C trail North might be a little rough due to groomer blowing a turbo on Monday.

Yes that was us, we left Newmarket around 5:30am and arrived at STP staging area around 10am, it took longer than expected thanks to a snow storm. Trails were great all day except for a section of logging road that was plowed down to the rocks on A107C. We were back to the truck by 8pm back home in bed by midnight. Thanks for all of the help planning the day ride soupkids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for us next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
