Bancroft to Pembroke

[coolbane]

We are doing this route tomorrow (actually leaving from Paudash). I keep hearing reports that we will hit many ungroomed and washboard trails. 
Does anyone have up to date trail conditions from Sunday, or suggestions for route which had seen the groomers recently? We had planned to go via Whitney but we can bypass it if recommended. Thanks

Good luck. If it was a busy weekend b could be a snow cross track. I have no recent knowledge just my experience early in week after a busy weekend.

A little late but I came back home from a four day trip yesterday, leaving Lake St Peter via E109 then B102 through Barrys Bay.  That end of rail trail B102 to B was rough as expected from weekend traffic. Took the 155 instead of B for the first time this season and was soft from limited grooming.  The B was pretty good still and had recent grooming starting at intersection at north end of B102 to Pembroke which was greatly appreciated at the end of 1150 km trip.

Definitely avoid E109 from rail bed B106E to 175, and south end of 175 and 173 were trashed Saturday night. They have two groomers down.
Your plan through Whitney is best as those groomers are still operating.
