Restaurant opens before lunch and closes earlier in the evening. Bar closes earlier as well. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let out the L123 secret. :-). Actually, I think I have some L123 footage on my YouTube channel. apexltx56 Just a really sweet trail. The loops outside of Hearst are good also. Usually do a day trip from Hearst to Hornpayne and back, also very nice trail. also on footage posted I think. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) I am heading to Cochrane on Wed and will be staying in Hearst for the weekend if anyone is up there. We were going to go this weekend but I was in a car accident on Wed and wrote my F150 off and scrambling to get some new wheels.

Heard nightmare to fix, So better to get a new set of wheels anyways. Glad you are ok. Scary experience. I once did a complete 360 degree Spin on highway. Never hit anything or anyone and missed guard rail by inches, when I came to a stop on wrong side of two lane highway. Actually a Mircle nothing was damaged snd no one else was around at time. Now never drive without snow tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt even have 500kms on it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the usual breakin before towing is around 500km, if I am not mistaken. 1 hour ago, Turbo Doo said: We rode this section, this afternoon. There is logging in the area.

With out them, sure would be a lot less trails.....but they can not be so trail friendly at times either..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better then some green status trails of the south.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Just get off TOP A. Lots of tourists just run back & forth on it to put on the miles to & from Hearst & Cochrane. Last winter I led @irREVerent SJ & the rest across the top of L125. Even pushing snow for 6 miles @ 50+ was fun. I guess it has to replace the old stretch of TOP A south of Strickland. Those long time NCDN riders will know where I mean... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
