Canuck Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 After limited myself to cottage riding last year, looking forward to riding new districts. Recently, some on the forum mentioned Southwest Ontario had a banner year in '21. Couldn't go - outside the health unit. Anyhow, I'm working on some type of 'bucket list' system where we can 'tick off' if we've visited a District. No rules. Catch it at the edge, you've been there. Definitely a Work in Progress, but suspect that this winter will not be 'off to Cochrane' as in year's past (past). Appreciate the District launch/staging suggestions over the years and the online resources are fantastic in this regard (OFSC site, some Google map overlays, calls to Turbo Doo '22 if I must). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvMyViper Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Make sure one of those trips is to New Dundee. We'll ride out to Heidelberg to the The Olde Heidelberg Inn for pork hocks. And ride the some awesome District 5 trails. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No trail near the place, since st Agatha trail closed. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From high way 7 and 8 north had a good season. Snow really picked up around highway 86. Hanouver is a good spot for staging when casino is open. Last year it was closed along with the trail access. I called many resorts that usually allow parking and they all turned me down and blamed covid. Hopefully this winter is different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No trail near the place, since st Agatha trail closed. 😂 There is a short trail down to the highway then towards Heidelberg near where the original St. Agatha trail was. You can take the edge of the highway or snowbank from there to the hotel or a lot of people still ride up from my place on the area beside the road and then the sidewalk to the hotel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMG_0150.MOV I rode that area for a few days last season w my better half. We throughly enjoyed it. Was highly recommended to check out the clubhouse. (Very nice btw!) Met a very nice group of locals and had a nice chat about the area….. fast forward about a month or so and I run into them at base camp at Abitibi! What are the odds?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ditch is ok until you get close to town. Then it is close to 600 m scratch. Some residents are mad at snowmobilers so side walk shouldn’t be used to access fuel or hotel. That day we had some fresh snow so side of road was rideable most days it isn’t. Be nice to have a trail going around and back thru hotel property or gas station, depending which way you loop. I know getting permission is difficult so kudo’s to club for getting access to lobsinger line, anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few club members have camps/houses in Cochrane. Maybe Cary or Mike? And there’s a whole crew from Owen Sound that own another place-maybe one of the VanDolders? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all had kids, some that raced Snowcross for years just like the Dads raced oval. I saw one of the new generation on test ride the Lynx day up here, he was super fun to watch! Still a big sledding family for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
