flash 800 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Evil, the latest OFSC report has TOP C from Capreol to the C206D jct as limited. Does that seem right? Even the area between Kirkland Lake & Cochrane is now shown as limited. Hopefully we can use our original itinerary. Not keen on just a out & back from Cochrane to Wawa. P.S.: As usual great pics. I'd say that's probably right. Only for the fact that he odd rock is stickng out in places I'm guessing. I'd do this ride stain tomorrow if I could. Overall a great ride! I would want a job like yours and be able to ride mid week like that. Thanks for rubbing it in.......I'm jealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnj Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I see on a 2008 map there is a "C" trail and a "C 206D" trail heading up to Shinning Tree. 2009 map show "C" trail only and located on the old "C206D" Has this changed any? How would the conditions at a guess be on a Monday heading up that direction, thining on leaving Field in the morning and heading up the shinning tree trail. Looks about 200kms, so I think if conditions are not too bad that should be no problem>>?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 Bears Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 we have opened 6 km of the old c trail south of shining tree. have made 2 passes on it. it is still alittle rough but better than 8 km of the plowed logging road. c trail from shining tree to north of gogama to tata chata pika lodge is excellent. from there to the hydro line is also great. hydro line is passable but alitttle rough due to the lack of snow. all in all the guys said a super ride.

3 Bears Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hey all, When do they normally groom from Shining Tree to Caproel, thinking of doing the run midweek. Thanks Our groomer went out on the weekend towards Sudbury and we are now waiting for more snow. You would have to contact the club there to ask about Capreol trail.

COLD BEER Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 A group of us are planning to drop at Sudbury this weekend and head up to the Abitibi Canyon. We had planned on riding from Sudbury to Capreol, to Shinning Tree, to Gogama for the night and on to Timmins in the morning. Sounds like from what I am reading, Sudbury to Shining Tree is thin but not bad. How are the conditions on C trail from Shinning Tree to Timmins? The OFSC site has Gogama listed as being closed! is there a problem in this area? Any information will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any information will be appreciated. the trail from shining tree to timmins.....all our groups this weekend said that it was a great run other than the pole line in gogama is a little thin but for what pat at minawkwa lodge had to work with for snow on that line, it is a nice run. we have had quite a few goups in for lunch or overnight and all said the same thing about gogama. the boya who juat lest here after supper said the run from sudbury was great. to leave our place there is a great re route all except a small portage after the lake bypass. if you need anymore infor let me know.
