Late start as rest' didn't open until 9. Trails not overly busy. We ended up doing the Fushimi Loop (clockwise). Approaching snow fall had us concerned about visibility. Radar had the system nowhere near here, so we did the loop. After the loop, L169 & L159 to Hearst. Across L155 & TOP A to Kap. A bit early in town so dropped down L143 to the L123 and east. Met the groomer just west of the river. Back to town on L137 & L139. Day started out @-17, now -7. Looking good.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't look as if L147 north of TOP A had been groomed recently. Tomorrow is supposed to be cold, so maybe some blue skies for pics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 )(Fill in the blank) cold today -20* & warmed up to a balmy -18*. Rode out of Kap on L139 & L141. East to Moonbeam & a top up. Introduced @irREVerent to the Moonbeam loops on L129. Back across the highway & did the Nursery Loop (L119) before returning to Kap via L123 & L143. Some drifting by the fields south of Kap but not terrible. L141 north of the highway was probably the worst 157 klicks for the day 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had 4 bars left when I got back to trailer. Trails are hard packed now. 300 km’s range is easy on hard pack snow on these 900’s. How fast are you going ? Doubling ? Why stopping every few km ? But you do have an XS with 40 litres right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Probably 4" of fresh snow last night. We would had the L129/L131 section to ourselves but caught up to & finally passed a pair of ZX chassis Rene's by the 'crossed' intersection. They let us by then.

It is an xs with 40 L tank. I was riding single that day. Double I use more fuel but yeni only weighs 95 Ibs so not a big difference.

Bonus was the road section was snow covered (it usually sucks when I've been up here for the last ride of the season). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is 129 the Paul Geurtin Memorial Trail? I don't recall that number, but I know my favourite Moonbeam trail is the PG Memorial. An absolute hoot. Sad story though.

Its the trail that goes west over top of Remi Lake and comes back down to the A trail. Its basically a highway on the north side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L129 and L131 is on the southside of HWY11, off the L123. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricky Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 The Paul Geurtin Memorial Trail has a so named sign board at the start of the trail which I believe is south of hwy 11 and within sight or earshot of 11. By the the look of it, it almost has to be 129 or 131 or a combination of the two. Paul did most of the work to create the trail, and later was killed in a crash on the trail.

revrnd Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 We were wondering why the south end if L141 is closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
