noisy1eh Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hey there! Great report! Are you heading out this weekend/ If so, Where? I'm looking to join up with someone for a ride wherever there's Snow. I still have your # from Cochrane last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannago Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Amen to that, wannago...we ALL need that new snow. As we've discussed in the past, we should meet sometime (perhaps even with SJ...) and ride together when you're up at the cottage. For sure this year we will have to try and meet up. We are going to be up at the cottage for the week of Feb.20, that may be a good time to make this work. Last year we trailered over to the Algonquin trails to ride with Tim a couple of the days, now that was great, Tim grooms at night and then we get to ride the fresh trails the next day!

sledjunk Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Welcome back, Noisey1eh! I will be heading out this weekend. I am not sure where yet, but I will drop you a line or call. I have your number from last year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonCalling Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Wow, great report sledjunk. And I love the maps. A few friends of mine are heading to Huntsville this weekend and they mentioned that they may trailer to Kearney, since they show green of the interactive map. I'm actually so stupid that I'm heading up from London to meet them in Huntsville (just over 4hr drive) just for the day. I too need to ride.

LondonCalling Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Oh and that day is this Sunday. The recent snowfall I read about in Huntsville will surely help things. I know it cant hurt. message me if there's anyone as stupid as me willing to spend more in truck gas than sled gas. Who knows, maybe we can save each other some dough.

sledjunk Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 We are going to be staying at the Edgewater. I understand that they got another foot yesterday so it should be great. Hopefully, we'll cross paths on the trails. Funny thing, the two guys that I ended up riding with were from London as well. And there were a couple of others staying at the motel that were from Kitchener. Hope you can find someone to join you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teener Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Great report. Ditto to everything Sledjunk wrote. Trail conditions varied but the main thing is that we escaped the city. The accomodations were great - clean, fresh and reasonably priced. Food was good and service was very friendly. Unfortunately my Doo wasn't happy with the -32 temps on Sunday morning and we had to enlist extra help to get it loaded. Thanks to all who helped.

Never stayed there for sledding but I will post what I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannago Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Wow, word gets out fast! Wish we were going to be up, I would have gladly offered you accomadation SJ. We need help shoveling off the roof! I am sure Caswell will be fine and hopefully the lake is staked so that you can head over towards the Burks Falls area. The 306 to D123 trail is a nice ride. D123 into Burks Falls is a really great trail, I love those hills!! Have a great weekend and I look forward to your pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
