Never any issues with ice, Bayliner? I've done the ol' 'spin twice on glare ice and flip' on an Orillia sideroad and thought "never again" without traction. And then ride 90 percent of my kms in the north-North. Haven't seen much ice on trails locally or north-north so wonder what I'll do with next sled.

soupkids Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Getting in and out is doable, not pretty but you can do it. I rode from home today and put on 170 miles. Now conditions where not perfect until I got north of MR 86 and then it got pretty dam good. Rode about halfway to shining tree and came back the same route C105 to C, 62, 71, 78, C206D, C and back the same route. Studs are a really good idea and scratchers as a must.

02Sled Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Maybe they will get the snow squalls that are forecast for east of Georgian Bay and the Bruce Peninsula that could see 15+ cm of snow in the next 24 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if I spin out and flip then I'll think about running studs, but until then I'm fine without... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupkids Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Gowganda has gone yellow due to the small creeks and low spots along 560. C Trail north of Shining Tree has gone red due to being plowed. Lots of great riding around Sudbury C206D C trail North at C206D intersection Pictures of C trail north We did run into some of the freakiest weather I have ever been in. First sun and the 5 mins later blinding snowstorm with visibility down to 10 feet. This is what happens when you build your fish hut too light Hows this cloud look ??

Xfirecat Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Kevin, how are the Sudbury trails this weekend? Coming for a ride Sunday. Don't have scratchers, do you have loose snow or is it still all ice? Thinking about a rip to shining tree and back or the wolf loop. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupkids Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 went for a quick ride to check things out and they are way better than I thought they would be. Loose snow for lube and cooling on all the trails I was on. Scratchers are a good idea and studs a must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslowsledder Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thanks kindly for the updates, hoping to come up for the first time in that area Wed for a ride with the son's. Thinking of launching at STP and doing a day loop so appreciate all the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR SLEDHEAD Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Did about 100 mile tour around the area this afternoon, trails are generally very good, just have to watch for some extra icy corners is all, lots of lube for cooling n slider, even across lakes. Dinner was killer at the Sportsman Lodge. Lil chilly out there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupkids Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 I did run across a quad in garson today and I fully let him have it both barrels. I'm pretty sure I used all of my vocabulary of swear words on him and maybe a few new ones. He kept calling me Sir, I figure he had at least 10 years on me. Here is a couple of pictures on trail 83 today. This one is dam near dead center of Lake whanapitie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so bad in the trails but temp definitely got your attention smoking across the lakes. Mint see you tomorrow am, might still be in at breakie.
