Road running will be the killer in the southern half of it. If you can avoid plowed roads it will be doable and decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Save yourself some grief. Do half a RAP. Barrys Bay to Mattawa and back. Ride all the North Renfrew 130 series and Missing Link 190 series on the northeast side. Skip the roads and rocks, and you will love it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve F6 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Quick little ride to Baysville and back. Its fast! Plenty of cooling. Couple close calls on the way back. One GTouring on the wrong side of the trail, then im coming thru by the pit at pioneer camp and smoked a big porcupine. It died, my sleds fine i think. Then just barely got stopped for a downed tree across the lake access trail. Turned around took a detour home and got the saw out and took care of that. Topped a new hi speed mark on the lake. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my fingers crossed as well. Headed to Florida on Thursday and will be headed home Monday. Going to leave the wife and kids with the in-laws at their place. I will be a bachelor for two weeks and I am hoping I can get a few day rides in to salvage this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not want to jinx anything, but things look okay for the next little bit weather wise. More sun will not help open areas but the bush should hold up good! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol We all have the occasional day dreaming moment or whoopsie during the season. I ride the same if im leading, mid pack or tail gunner or solo. On the right side. No i dont get passed ever but of all the people i do follow for a bit i gotta say the worst offenders of riding the center are the slower riders. Thats 100% the truth. The fast cowboys cutting corners are no better and they'll learn the hard way someday too. 4 hours ago, rsykes said: Looking to get out for my 1st ride of the season this weekend. lol. yeah I know I'm a little late to the party this season but it just hasn't worked out for me this year.

Happy trails In my opinion with the road running situation i'd try Raven lake hwy 35 head east to 64 and up to 101 area 65-67 trails. Or try North Portage rd town dock on LOB then head up 76 off LOB to 101 area 65-67 trails. HGR will be good too but the road runs connecting to the other clubs aint nice. The 80 series trails will be good too but im not sure of parking. Maybe others will chime in. Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, tight to the right, unless a clear line of sight!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve F6 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Baysville was in good shape yesterday. Couple icy corners which will be worse by tonight. The road run was bearable and didnt over heat. Its thin through dickie lake but once past all that its good. Turned around at the tall pines limit as we didnt plan on a big ride and just did all the good stuff that Happy wanderers has. Very little traffic yesterday. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Took the princess for a ride today. Trails from 830am until about noon were really good with some expected bad spots and roads were partial snow / scrape. Than the snow started to turn very mushy, corners were pushing for sure, some were on wrong side, but traffic was real light and some more rocks poking through. Trails were flat and nicely set up. Fuel at MTH and lunch was boiler room. Lakes are in great shape though, good for some high mph runs. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
