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. sure those are they same guys who say they are comfortable riding like crazy because they can handle it...whats 3 or 4 beers on the trails, ...idiots....

We have very little police presence on the trails especially in the south and what little trail patrol used to be able to do has been decimated by the OFSC exec. The easier it is for those that want to drink and ride to get away with it, the more of it will happen. JMHO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poo Man Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Saw the same thing this year at a warm up shelter near Dorset. Even worse the degenerates had taken some wood siding off and were using it in the fire People like that deserve mob justice Edited February 14, 2020 by Poo Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylaker Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 We quit at 2:30pm today. Sun went away and it got pretty chilly again. Started in belwood again, went over to Oville, up rail line into shelburne, over to primrose and back down to Oville then home. Trails were absolutely mint everywhere again. Logged 170kms and even that was enough for me today. Couple idiots out there, but it’s to be expected. Sorry, no photos today, too cold. Primrose was beauty! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolbane Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Did a 315 km loop today from Hillsburgh to Markdale creemore, down 322 to Shelburne and home. Trails pretty good everywhere though snow was pretty thin in Spots on the lowlands around Creemore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledguy74 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Beautiful day up the rail line from Shelburne Dundalk to Markdale was really rough and drifted north and south of that section was good less snow in Owen sound than last time I was there still managed a quick 107 miles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Wife and I did 225kms out of belwood again today. Trail we’re absolutely fantastic everywhere we went. Just mint! Stopped at Drayton chop house for lunch. That place has amazing poutines, awesome rock and roll music and just an overall awesome atmosphere. Couldn’t have asked for a better day! The wind really started cutting through us on the way home though, very windy this afternoon. Hoping tomorrow will be less windy. wife wants a castle now... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully people stay off on Sunday, but I doubt it. Supposedly ALOT of snow moving in after the warm up. Anything goes at this point..

Diceman Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 just curious how the base held up after the warm spell?..sure they are wrong but weather network calling for abit of snow for theses areas so wondering if the season can continue in theses areas...talked to a few guys who said if they get all the snow this week they could be open by the weekend again...not sure if that is just wishful thinking...

Baylaker Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) I’m not sure about the base, I know the ground is very soft right now. We woke up to a surprise 10cm yesterday morning. They were calling for 1cm. But it pretty much disappeared anyways. Hourly is showing snow every hour for the next 3 days. This could be the one we need to get another weekend in the south.
