Turbo Doo Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Well, what to say. Another freaking amazing day riding the Northern corridor du nord. Rode Cochrane to Hearst with 14snow, Mrs Iq turbo, and Evil and Hubby. I would say trails are a 10 out of 10. Mostly fresh fluff on top of a super hard base. Coming into Hearst this afternoon we came upon this little water Hazard. Right in the area as you first come to where you see the woodpile from the trail in behind the companion inn. Evil and 14snow made the trek across, leaving 14snows father, Mrs Iq turbo, myself and Evils hubby to come thru. As you can see from the pics, 14snows father was not successful at the attempt. After a little snorkeling and tow rope action, the decision was made that Evils hubby, Mrs Iq turbo and myself would re route around it, and road run up to town, and in along behind Denis 007s work and to the companion inn to meet the rest. All in all, no one was hurt, sleds good to go, just a little hurt egos. Tomorrow we are doing the chain of lakes loop with Denis007, and riding back to Cochrane. Stay tuned..

Turbo Doo Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Thinking about the day, i would not for a second change anything. There is nothing better then our NCDN adventures... Good trails, good friends, good times. Miles of smiles, and a boat load of off season stories.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaris1 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Wow those trails look flat and fast. I thought I wouldn't be jonesing for another ride after a 1450 mile one a couple weeks ago but I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other then the water hazard here in Hearst, the trails are 10 out of 10. Cochrane and Kapuskasing clubs are grooming when they can. Denis007 is leading the pack today for a tour on the chain of lakes up and around the North end of Hearst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamaha06 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Trails look mint other than the water hazard. Has that been the only obstacle you guys have come across so far? Was hoping to arrive in Cochrane Thursday morning but looks like some warm weather and possible rain coming next week. How are the sleds doing for over heating, we have ice scratchers for morning, I would imagine trails loosen up in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Iq turbo and myself did have the scratchers down, but others in our group where ok without them.. For this time of year, trails are mint..

Techdenis007 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Agreed. Even the water hazard was frozen over this afternoon. Extraordinary day riding with this group today. Trails were 10/10 EVERYWHERE and the company was too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Another freaking fabulous day in the NCDN. Rode with Denis007, Evil and hubby, 14snow, and company. Now enjoying an evening at the Ice hut with Nunz and crew. Trails were fantastic, but are now showing some wear and tear. A few pictures to share. What a way to cap off an amazing season. No scuba diving today.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a way to wrap up another season and trip. And a great night at the ice hut in Cochrane with Nunz last night also. Great seeing Wimpy and chatting with him also..

Nunz Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Had a wicked fun end of season ride in Cochrane met up with many many friends, was great to meet up with IQ and his lovely wife Kim and 14 Snow and his dad, 9000kms on my sled which is a personal best for me this winter. Conditions are great up there but with the rain in the forecast they will go south very quickly. Thanks to everyone for a great season and hope to see some of you over the summer, We will be having our annual Summer Sucks party in August which will also tie into my 50th birthday!! Cheers everyone .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmm NO doubt for sure, I still have to stay tapped out, have a guy coming to see my sled in a couple of days and the mileage is already a concern on it. Plus I don't think our friend will lend us his sled again.. I will live through your trips the next couple of weeks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
