Xfirecat Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Just saw a post on the Facebook looking for someone to take a groomer part to Cochrane from Barrie. Anyone without FB going north soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Is that from the other day?? They got another groomer shipped in to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I believe the clutch fan went out of the Polar Bear BR. They had a post a few days ago wondering if someone (a club) in the south would have an extra clutch fan for a 2005 BR180 or if a southern club had a groomer they could borrow and have floated up.

I believe they received a groomer a few days ago from another district, while they want for part for broken down one (part is back ordered) This was last I heard.

matt17 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Groomer they received was from within the district (from Val Rita) with the Kap and I believe Mattice clubs extending their runs to cover that area while their groomer was on loan. This was the lowest cost and quickest option. Within hours of PBRs Facebook post the groomer was on the float and was on the trail that night.

TOP A was in good shape this afternoon when we rode back from Hearst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Can report on the western portion of the Great Northern Loop : Hearst south to Hornepayne is 8/10 ( flat but it feels like you're riding waves...you might bottom out). Tough to explain ( not the diet part, which allegedly prevents spinal tap) but trails are deceptive. Look fast, are fast , until whoop. Hornpayne south to Dubreuville 10/10. Freshly groomed, for the most part. Dubreuville to Halfway Haven 10/10 ( didn't ride...but spoke to White Dragon and others who rode up to D'ville last night. Mentioned HH north to Wawa was groomed Thursday). Am currently ( Sunday) in Chapleau ( drove truck south) and trails by road crossings are freshly groomed. Can't tell ya if that bodes well for HH east to Chapleau - but trails look good near Valentine's Bed and Breakfast. Decided to stop in on Ross - fond memories of sledding up here with yoot, years ago. Seems to be a consistent grooming effort in this district.
