Yep, looking for one last ride from home I guess. The trails have been open at my place for 7 weeks today. That is the longest season we have had for many years. It will certainly help to rejuvenate the volunteers that put the trails in. thanks to all of them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wanted sledders to remove their helmets or balaclava and put on a "proper" mask. There was a gentle man in his 70's working there and she felt it was disrespectful to him not to do this. Of course, the Facebook trolls pounced. He wouldn't turn the pump on for prepay without wearing a mask. Which is beyond ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trails protected by the bush or with a packed base should be okay, but won’t last, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next person uses it and picks up the bacteria from the nozzle and unwittingly leaves with the virus on his hands. Another person comes along and picks up the nozzle and comes in contact with the virus as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been doing this for years! Ski This is an outdoor pump at a marina where the only ones using it are snowmobilers I believe. I don't think I've seen any out riding with rubber gloves and sanitizer so far. I use a latex glove when filling my truck 35 minutes ago, UsedtoSkidoo said: Ya was stupid.

The new strains are much more infectious with minimal exposure necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was out for a look at the trail and the carbides are cutting through to my grass. crows were pecking away at the corn stubble up the trail so not much snow left there. I think our trails willl close later today as Sunday weather doesn't look good. I believe it. Not for us. Patiently waiting to head back to the NCDN.

They aren't doing diddly squat in the ares they originated in now we must be concerned for them. Good grief. Why not start testing people who've already had this nonsense to see what type of herd we've already reached and make a real informed plan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new strains are much more infectious with minimal exposure necessary. Incorrect..... gas pump right in Dorset. Used by all. Actually the one at the nearby marina, you ring bell at pump, pump turned on, you pump and then pay at an outside debit machine..... pretty simple really. If you’re concerned, wear a glove when touching...... personally not for me, but I’ll wash my hands once I can.... same as always before this nonsense. I’ll do some level of precautionary measure but I ain’t no Covid Karen ( no offence to the Karen’s of the world ) As a business, I’d either do pay at pump or an outdoor payment system. To each their own though. Edited February 27, 2021 by stoney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new strains are much more infectious with minimal exposure necessary. I carry sanitizer in all my vehicles, when sledding it is in the backpack, or dash bag. same on the dirt bike, and street bike. again, I have been doing this for years. winter is cold and flu season, I assume everyone is sick until I prove it otherwise. you have to decide how much risk and precautions you want to take/provide. before all this started I was a germofobe, I really havent changed what I do, except avoid people more.

Rode today made it to homestead for a late lunch. From truck stop north trails are good still. Nothing bad today and 3” of fresh snow with some ice. B111 was groomed last night. No tracks on my side of trail heading north today. We left at 11:30 am after rain stopped in kitchener. Go for it tomorrow morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
