coolbane Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 We did 570 km total on Saturday/Sunday, riding between Hillsburgh, Creemore, and Shelburne on Day 1 and Hillsburgh, Mt. Forest, Ayton, Fordwich on Day 2. Trails were very good everywhere we rode. Even the roadrunning wasn't too bad. It is sad to see though that there is more and more road running every year.

Thank-you. Each district or club has a different perspective and now everyone flocks to green areas increasing trail use age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylaker Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Finally got out for a good ride today, all the clubs have done a fantastic job of the trails. Started in belwood and went up to markdale. Got gas & Had breakfast at the new Timmies. Nice & clean with outlets & USB ports for your electronics. Then we headed over towards Durham. Pretty choppy & thin (snirty) through Durham, after that though it was great again. Then went down through Neudstat, ayton, teviotdale, across to Arthur and back to belwood. Very good day. Trails were pritty darn mint the whole way except for Durham and couple other little thin areas. Fields are awesome everywhere! Couldn’t believe it, but they’re better than most bush sections. We definitely needed that today. New helmet is awesome as well. 270kms for the day. Going back out Friday before the weekend rush.

Motorhead Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Did 375km starting out of Hillsburgh. Headed over to Arthur . Had to detour into Palmerston. Worse trails of the trip. Up thru Clifford to Walkerton. Signage is an issue out around there. Fields were the best. Had a few problems with group. Key issues with a 1200. Not detecting it. Multiple stops. Secondary clutch bolt shearing on Yamaha. Replaced on trail. Around Durham into Mt Forest and back. Got back to trailer at 10pm. Longer day than planned. Clubs did a good job with what they had.

Baylaker Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The other thing we saw I forgot to mention was when we were riding through Palmerston, we came across their warm up shack and the garbage can outside (which is nice) was full of empty beer cans. Couldn’t believe it. saw the same thing in Mattawa last year as well at one of the lookouts except there was no garbage can there, just tossed all over the ground.
