Claire Voyant Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Kap Sno-Rovers got some help filling the ditches through town last night BUT snow is still very thin. Weather is warm and we had some (freezing) rain overnight so Club President is holding off opening trails for a day or so. Snow in the forecast tonight and tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Basketcase Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Whats the latest update for us FacebookLESS members? Planning on heading north tonight for two days of riding. Was hoping to stop in New Liskeard, but unsure of the conditions this time of year. May have to continue to Cochrane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Rode to Kap yesterday. Did Beardmore and Nursery on the way back. Excellent conditions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamaha06 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Rode through Kap last week when we hit up Hearst and what a mess. Took the L123 when we headed back to Cochrane and it was a 100x better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuel up in Moonbeam, then L123 to Opasatika, then L155 (or the Northern loops) from Mattice to Hearst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then do A to just south of Opasatika and loop the 123 back to moonbeam. Love that lumberjack loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first time taking the L123, have always just took the A trail through Kap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of the 'tourists' stick to TOP A rather than explore the side trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Moosifer and I just came back from a week in Cochrane. Trails were awesome for the most part. Saturday had warmed up and they were a little (OK, a lot) like riding mashed potatoes. Tuesday, we were expecting others to arrive, but unfortunately a couple were not able to make it. However, while sitting in the room, a Jeep pulls up outside our room, and the driver rolls down the window and gives us the finger! Turned out he was one of the people that joined us in Quebec with Nunz and recognized my sled We rode to Kap on Wednesday and introduced some friends to Beardmore and Nursery Loop (sorry locals ) Got to ride with 79Cat again. Great week (1530 Km) and end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
