skidooboy Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I know the shuttle is an option but, no way I am putting my sled on an open trailer, to get covered in road shit for 60kms, then finish my ride. I would ride out and back, or pick a destination with day riding loop trails, before doing that to a 20k dollar toy. Ski 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Imo, if day riding from Liskeard, I'd use the Quality Inn, Holiday Inn or the Waterfront Inn. If I was starting from Liskeard for a saddle bag trip, I would use the EconoLodge.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am OCD, so I like my stuff parked PERFECT as possible. Our favorite spot is the Waterfront Inn, because that place is nice, and has Roosters 🐓 restaurant on site, and it's located on Lake Temiscaming. The Holiday Inn and Quality Inn are ok as well. Only downside to the Waterfront Inn, is the availability of gas. But gas is just up the river at the Mr. Gas off of the Wabi River, or you need to ride up to the gas stations by the EconoLodge, the Quality Inn or the Holiday Inn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan on staying; New Liskeard Cochrane Hearst Dubreville or around there Timmins Thanks If you stay with the Big Loop, here are some way points for fuel and/or lunch. (I always fuel the group no longer than 160KM - with a 200KM tank range on most of our sleds.) doesn't take long to fuel up compared to time lost if someone runs out.) (This plan reflects that we had to go from Hearst to Wawa in 1 day, as only beds available at Duberville were single queens, which the guys just don't do.) We are now just doing NL to Hearst, day trip to Hornpayne and back towards Cochrane and NL. Group of 6. Can't miss me, White "Real Tree" coat and I normally lead. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
