Should be fine, rain didn't do much damage and st Mary's has more snow as well. I am near Stratford and will be heading out Tuesday. I just hoping they groom Monday.

Rained her as well, but being it was below freezing the rain just froze on the top layer of snow and did not melt it. We got lucky this time......Have a good ride.

St Mary's should be fine. Can't comment about thorndale, since they might have received more rain. I am going Tuesday for a ride. Will take a day for groomers to fix all moguls from heavy weekend traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I live in Mitchell and the trails survived the rain today. I am going for a ride tomorrow as the long range isn't looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceman Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 just looked at forecast and think if its correct we should be ok at least until end of weekend...minimal rain...calling for 10 - 15cm for Monday next week.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Get out and ride peeps. Forecast shows crap again.... government and mother nature...hand in hand.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoso Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I would suggest that anyone wanting to ride in the south, develop a cough right now and set the stage for the 7am call in on tuesday morning. Tuesday may be our last chance local for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will have sled flu until trails close. I just got in from a 90km ride. Un-groomed for 90%, but groomers are on the move here. Some of the corners have been brought down to dirt, but still a ton of snow on the berms and roads are actually holding ice even with the sun. Tuesday will be a full day for us, and maybe get out and ride those summmer conditions on wed too. plus 7 and sunshine is the forcast for wed so roads will be mud. If it all ends this week riding from home I cannot complain, I have logged 1500km riding from the garage, that is pretty good for southern ontario.

scottyr Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The fellas are going to be at my house at 5pm to go for a ride. I normally hate riding at night but I am booked solid Tues and Wed this week with work stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyr Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Just got back from 160km ride. Trails are rock hard and super fast. As long as it doesn't rain too much they should survive a couple of warmer days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 We left my house in Mitchell. Went to Seaforth, Clinton over to Bayfield for a snack and then back home the other way through Exeter, Staffa etc... Trails were bumpy in places but its quite cold tonight and things were tightening up pretty hard. If guys stay off them on Wed and Thursday we should be good for 1 more weekend.

sunderland17 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Rode a 100 km loop out of Thorndale into St. Mary's on Monday. Except for about 10 km everything was freshly groomed and I passed one groomer. Trails were hard pack and in great shape. A real nice afternoon in the sun. It is great being able to ride so close to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jow Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I ran from Tavistock down to beachville to ingersoll over to Harrington back to Tavistock. Trails are very thin in spots. After today those trails are going to be very bare,and if we get rain there done IMO for now till more snow comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We rode 248 km. today Heidelberg/ Wellesley via Millbank/Stratford/Mitchell/Seaforth/Brussels/Monkton/Milverton and home. Trails were good to very good except for 15 km, each side of Stratford. West was good. By mid afternoon the plowed fields were showing a lot of brown spots and the Milverton trails were brutal. When I just now looked at the ITG everything from New Hamburg to Mitchell and beyond is "Unavailable" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
