Went and got fuel in Athens, no snow at all on the road. The girl at the station was amazed at those wheels on the yamaha. I think I may get some for my sled. They make it easy to navigate on dry pavement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put them on and just think they are great for re-fueling at gas stations and road running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be a big help @ the gas station in Hiawatha. Pumps are in the middle of a big paved lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon we won't need the skis at all, just wheels! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 53 klicks of exercise, no pics as it was kind of a gloomy day here. Broke the trail into the woodlot. Lots of deer tracks on the Crown since my last run & the moose(s) had been moving around on our property. Saw 3 sleds on the trail, two were a couple that I know from the lake.

Jason T Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Went about 50km last night on nice groomed trails with some friends. Clubs are doing great for the little bit of snow we have. Hitting some more later today! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Nice 100 mile ride this morning. Really liking the early morning start and back to the truck just after noon.....the return ride to the truck is quite a bit busier with a lot more bad riders, few close calls, nothing too bad except one that forced me into the bush on trail 63 when I passed a group of about 6 or so heading the opposite way towards MTH. Wolf Loop was great, been a few years since I rode it, great little run/loop plus took trail 67 for the first time since it opened, another nice run. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven lake is my usual spot that is right on 35 where you can take either d101B or 61, but lot can be full, so there are other spots either South or North of there to also park.

revrnd Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 @stoney Were you on D101B north of Hwy 60? 77 klicks for me including some bush trail riding to see friends' deer camp. #617 west of Paudash Lake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not today, decided not to venture further north than the ASC shelter, decided to do the wolf loop and to the north east end of kawagama on 64 instead figuring they’d be quieter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a while since I have rode it, must have been some logging last few years, don’t recall the loop trail being so wide.... but than again it was usually done at night after arriving at the cottage, always a great night ride.

stoney Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 What is wrong with night riding? We used to always do it, usually Fri night for sure after arriving at the cottage or we would do the leach lake 500 at night as well! Always knew when someone was coming. Just needed to have full tanks....most gas station close up at 5PM.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needed to have full tanks....most gas station close up at 5PM.... Nothing as my parents & I used to ride out west of Apsley on the old Rathburn Trail to the lookouts. Check out the stars & maybe hear a wolf howling in the distance. I think the inference is that the only time we hear about night riding is after an accident. I don't recall seeing anyone posting about it or posting pics. Which is obvious as the pic I attached isn't the greatest, but gives you the idea. About 15 years ago 2 of us rode from a co-worker's home in Bowmanville to his cottage on Glamor Lake after dayshift. I had my sled @ home, so brother drove my truck north after unloading it. I ended up getting to Apsley about 2 AM. I was really careful as in hindsight travelling thru the Tory Hill Hadlington area late @ night solo, isn't the brightest thing to do.
