I know, and according to the Stage 1 - there are no travel restrictions in the province. Good to go. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyr Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I could be wrong, but we arent in Stage 1 anymore are we? I am kind of over this. I am not going to get all worked up about. I cant believe some of the responses I see from the Facebook Keyboard Warriors. At this point, my brand new sled is sitting in trailer with 155kms on it. If we get local snow, I will take it for a rip but I am not going to trailer up north to ride. Hopefully this lockdown ends on Family Day Weekend and I will do my best to cram a seasons worth of riding into 6 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskoka Bill Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Cancelled my trip to Cochrane next week and pushed back the reservation to Kirkland Lake in Feb by a few weeks. Just waiting for the trail that runs allong my property to go yellow so hopefully I can at least get a few Km's on. This reminds me of 2016 when the trails were closed in Bracebridge area for land owner reasons, all I could do is look at my new sled in the garage and wax it every week.

We are in Stage 1 of the Re-Opening Act - New "Stay at Home Order" is attached to it and was issued under the Emergency Act/Stage 1 Re-Opening Act that Ford re-implemented after falling out of his chair watching the colorful slideshow from the doctors. We're all over it - there has been zero sense of normalcy since March of last year. Lockdown ending by the first 30 days is NEVER going to happen - we're pinned now and we'll be here for 6 months is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volsla Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 friend of mine is going to do some sledding in Haliburton this coming Saturday. I hope that he will not be stopped by policy and ticketed for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyr Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I washed/polished my sleds this am, put stabilizer in the gas, locked up my trailer and put it all in a storage compound. Wont be surprised if I dont see it til next fall. Called my buddy and told him to not let me order a new sled under any circumstance. I have him on the hunt for a new dirt bike for me. I can fiddle with it in my garage for the next 6 weeks getting it ready for the spring. I have a bad feeling that sled season is over for me. I am bummed out big time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) If we could ride around home, I would be out all the time but the last time I have ridden from my house was in 2017. We had 2-3 weekends last winter but I was on vacation then. The chances of me getting out more than 1-2x from home this year are slim to nil based on previous years. I honestly think that this will cause a few long time riders (me) to pack it in altogether. Sledding is without a doubt, the most stressful hobby you can do. It is dependent on too many factors outside your control. Edited January 14, 2021 by scottyr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, but that is why the LCBO is deemed essential, and I went there Tuesday PM after Dougie's news release and stocked up big time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I have 2 Seadoos and although they arent as much fun as sledding by any stretch of the imagination, I know it will be summer and they will be used. The only bad thing that can happen is that it rains. The Seadoos are something that we can use as a family. My wife and kids all pile on and he head up the Marine Railway a couple times a summer for an all day tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Tim Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Just read that the Haliburton Forest is only allowing people who live in Haliburton county to ride on their trails and they will be screening everyone to prove that they do live there.
