The idiots who claim to be following the science should put their education credentials through a paper shredder.

Now why don't we destroy 200 000 small businesses and put your great grandkids into debt so you can live in your long term care home for another month circling the drain waiting for the next stiff breeze to push you in. I am not too worried about that "stiff breeze" just yet. I have a couple of aunts that lived to over 100, uncles who have functioned quite well into there 90s, and parents who are 94 and 92. I can ride a 600 km day on my sled, a 1000 km day on my street bike, and keep lots of young guys behind me on either of my KTM dirt bikes. Hope you do as well in your seventies. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no real science to support this. Busybodies much like the one woman on my sledding page on Facebook.

Yes, I know they were discussions before the snow fell about things being put in place. Hopefully that helped allowing the trails to open (& stay open) in other districts.

Agreed, good for anyone at any age to be active...keeps the wheels greased. On the flip side, those under 60 should not be treated as disposable either, mostly the ones who are still working (or would like too), with young or younger kids, who are likely more active physically and socially than most that are north of 70, which given what has gone on, has been the case as well. The numbers show who is at greatest risk, yet there has been a huge price for all to pay, in more ways than one. No one is disposable, but you need to look at the bigger picture, do the "right" thing, protect those that need to be & remove the politics......but that is not possible I am afraid and never will be. Making the best of a situation that has been handled so poorly, is not working for me......I am not thinking or looking at the next week, two weeks or just the sledding season, I am looking way past that and the way things are going and have gone, I do not see an end to this nonsense based on what has transpired thus far, hence the frustrations or medical opinions or stats, etc..... It seems all the hard decisions have been based on "modelling"....something that has not even yet happened, with decisions made that you know for a FACT will have dire consequences, no modeling required for that. Anyways, agree to disagree, hence the massive divide that is tearing things apart right now. Need to try and enjoy today & tomorrow, never know what the next day might bring! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 NB's mayor was on CP24, there was some mention about outdoor recreation opening up. I bet the vast majority of sledding wouldn't be anywhere near North Bay. I imagine the 'good' Dr will be keeping a low profile. I can just seem him interacting w/ someone that was a sledder LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True my RAN tour in 2014 took us across Trout Lake, but we didn't stay there or need a gas stop. Had they closed the motels, that would've kept sledders away. What they did was punish local riders trying to keep out of towers away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giddy UP Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Another death n NB today from COVID. He will be looking for any excuse to close them up again. If you are local...great...ride those trails and Giddy up!!.....if you are coming from another area into this lockdown zone, I would suggest you find another zone to ride if you can. All he needs to see is a bunch of non local sledders rushing in and BOOM..there we will go again! At least there is lots of snow now further south, so that helps...keeping our fingers crossed that people use their heads here ...please. I have read on all sorts of pages people planning on rushing in to “rip” on the trails up here. He has opened them up for “local” use. The lockdown is still in force.
