ecarnell Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Had a great ride yesterday. Meet up with my dad(gravenhurst) and some friends (new market) in Singhampton for 9:00am. Instead of trailering over - decided to ride over. Left at 5am - and with a gas stop and breakfast in Durham made it there by 9:15 (129 miles). Trails were pretty good - didn't see a single sled until I pulled into the gas bar at Singhampton. We rode b trail to Owen sound for lunch at BP then down the rail line. I took off at chatsworth to head home and the rest continued back down to markdale then across b111. Home by 5:15pm for dinner The little 600sdi performed flawlessly - though I think a 1200 is going to replace it next year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecarnell Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 The trails were pretty good everywhere except around Hanover and newstead - as I think they haven't groomed since last week and there was a poker run last weekend (?). Lighting wasn't great and freezing rain/snow kept the speeds down as you couldn't see the bumps very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecarnell Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just got back from a 140 loop this evening - kincardine to neaustead for a bite to eat - gas top up in Hanover then over to paisly and port Elgin then home. Trails were Awesome! Only rough stop was the trail between tiverton and kincardine due to some wind/drifts - makes you glad to ride a Rev! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecarnell Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Is this not the best year for sledding in a long time - or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are planning on going to that area via sled next week and staying in Hanover for a night. Probably at Travellers Inn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcerget1 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Is there a hot tub or sauna at the travellers inn? The Canadiana used to have both but have been shut off for a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecarnell Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Gas is on the north end of town - turn off is at the airport and you go past marl/Rosalind lake to a 24hr shell station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
