Yup I went sledding this afternoon :hallo1:

Put about 60kms on the sled,between Chelmsford and Azilda(Sudbury) :)

Trails were ok but not groomed quite a few sleds out there today,the lake was nice with 7" of powder w00t

The bad part were the dam ATVs on the trails :cussing:

Who the hell do they think they are?? :cussing:

The worst part is a I met up with one a Yamaha Kodiak or Grizzly going the wrong way on a one way trail!!!!!!!!!

Sorry but there is snow out there GET YOUR F N ATVS of the trail!!!! :cussing:

I had a GREAT TIME RIDING what about you?? :D

How is the riding in your neck of your woods :blahblah:

FreezerBurnt,

Same Lament here, too many half wits on ATVs not understanding signage or the fact that if your tires ar bald from agressive summer riding, you don't have a snowflake's chance in he!! trying to get anywhere on snow!!!. A buddy trashed a trailing arm hitting a large rut on the snowmobile trail caused by a wayward ATV this afternoon and I cooked a belt towing a really stuck ATV out of a gully. Otherwise pretty dam good conditions here in West Quebec. Hope it doesn't rain Sunday !!!

Ya might rain here sunday :(

But at least I got to ride a bit :)

That is what I found today when riding in low areas ATVs rutted up the trail base in the mud now we are stuck needing more snow to get rid of the ruts

I seen a few Banshees on the trail today roosting up when ever they can

I it don't rain too much we will have a great base for January,lake was awesome cruising at 80mph in 6+ inches of powder doing high speed turns on the Lake :hallo1:

Where abouts West Quebec?? Ville Marie?

Still no snow here in ottawa. How many hours is it to Chelmsford??

8+hrs :D

60 inches and counting at the top here out west.

atvs is about all we can ride here right now,,,,with all the green green grass

Its just great for an ATV, little or no snow and most of the water holes are frozzen. Real crappy conditions for the snowmobiles but atleast some people are getting put and enjoying themselves while the others are suffering from lack of snow :cussing: Guess it was a little early to tear the 4-wheeler apart cause this is the best time to be riding it now. :confused:

Hmmm maybe I'll take my dirtbike out for a ride with my snowmobile suit on, just so it feels right.

The little snow we had here is almost all gone. :devil:

Glad to see you gloating about how many klicks you've put on your sled. If you down here in southern Ontario, you'd be whining about why did I buy my permit?

I just hope the non-snowmobilers that own ATVs know enough (which I doubt) to stay off the trails that are on private property.

I was riding yesterday myself,it was on the harley,no snow mid 40's f :slick:

1-Once again I am whining about friends giving up the sport due to price increases :sly:

BTW this is the latest that I got my 1st ride of the season,usually we ride by mid Nov and have snow that stays by end of Nov 1st week of Dec :)

2 Of course they know they are riding their ATVs on OFSC trails and on private property,like I said before they don't give a dam :cussing:

Once the trails are groomed most stay off groomed trails yet there are still a few brave idiots on their quads on our trails :dazed: :!:

Yah the waether here bites, no snow it makes me really mad :devil:

Freezerburnt, if my map serves me correctly than Chelmsford is only about 15km from Lively.
That's only and hour and fifteen minutes for us. Your saying the trails are open, and riding is okay? I can bring the shotgun for the ATV's ( relax, just kidding :D )
It's raining here in Pointe Au Baril.

i was out today put 150kms on my 3 wheeler on the snowmbile trails here befor everyone gets all mad the snow was off the trails and me and a friend clared alot of trees off the trails while we were out


and yes onec the gromers run the trails i will still drive on them

Yup I was in Parry Sound for Christmas :( not much snow done there

Chelmsford is about 15 minutes north from Lively(HWY 144 bypass)

But like Pointe O Baril it has been raining here today :( :cussing:

Hope fully it don't rain to much

Trails are NOT officially open but rideable the past 4 days,we need another 10-20cm to start to groom

Might need to install some spike belts for those quads :thumbsup:

For obvious reasons you haven't included your name. If you are in Ontario & riding your ATV on OFSC trails that are on private property, you are trespassing simple as that.

We did some riding up near the mountains of collingwood we put about 120k's,
there is quite a bit of snow up there but it might melt,but it might not cause with all the rain we had last week up there it was just snowing so we will see in the next few days,boy am i sore :D

I was on the trails with my ATV. What are you gonna do arrest me? Well get your sled and some get me, just because I was driving on the gravel. Opps I gave it away. We have no SNOW at all, I actually took my dirtbiek up the sled trails today because they are a compelte gravel mess. NO SNOW. DRY AS A BONE. Its sickning. BTW, please noone arrest me LOL.

Here where I ride is Regional carleton R.C.S.C. the atvs are not allowed, but next door Eastern ontario E.O.S.C. you can buy your pass for the ofsc trail. I believe it is up to the clubs to decide. I asked my club why they don't take the extra money and they said it was just to close to the city for four wheelers they would drive down the side walks of Ottawa.

i live in new brunswick not in ontario and if i want to drive on the trails i will its the bone heads that go and ter up trails that make a bad name for the rest of us
its doesn't hut the trails abit if my 3 wheeler drives up the side of them


also i hve been stoped by cop on the on the old rail bed and he only asked who bike is it and told us to have a nice day

Saint Lazare, St-Clet and Rigaud Quebec. Inter-Provincial Trail #33 from the hydro Quebec servitude right down to Lac des Deux Montanges is well covered but also rutted by you know who.

revrnd,

Your sentiment is falling on some deaf ears. I commented about trespassing on my farm property last year and was repaid with scorn, disrespect and threatened with physical violence amongst other delightful metaphors. It is best to just let the proper authorities deal with the scoff laws. I have since had to refuse passage through my land to all vehicles to avoid accidents and other costs incurred posting signs and installing hurricane barriers to keep traffic away from sensitive ecological areas. Not a good choice to be made considering that I'm an enthusiast of all motor sports exercised by all ages. :confused:

Thats unfortunate Thumbdoc, but there will always be the ignorant among us. Not trying to start a mud slinging contest, but the few will ruin it for the many.

Went riding huh,,,,nothing personal but bite me!!!! just kidding,,,lets see this weekend , used snowmobile suit to take the harley for a ride, gassed up the 4 wheeler and rode it for a bit and oh ya waxed the sled AGAIN!!!!! ggrrrrrrrr fricken weather, anyone know of any jobs out west Wyoming preferably..

By the way, this site now has spell check, nothing personal.

"repaid" sorry that was a grammar error. :D

Hey Freezie, you can laugh at us all you want but i heard that the OFSC is gonna be giving rebates for anyone who aint been out by Jan 1. so keep beotchin about the permit prices cuz you get to pay full pop!

:D :thumbsup:

The atv's have the same rights to it as us...leave them alone.

Some say ATV'S are not allowed on ofsc trails , but here is proof they are in some areas. There is no summer trails around here though.

Maybe in your neck of the woods.....

Riding an ATV on an Ontario trail is probably the fastest way to end up with a black eye! They don't belong on OFSC trails in the winter, and if they ride them in the summer, their still trespassing. Until an ATV-only trail system is set up (and that day is coming....), they really have nowhere to ride legally, except crown land.

With the growing popularity of ATV's, hopefully this issue will be addressed sooner than later. The last thing we need is ATV's on the snowmobile trails - we have enough trouble keeping people from hitting trees!!!!

Heres it is again next to the OFSC singe, also trails are closed for lack of snow so the atv's are not allowed either.

So you're saying in the Ottawa region, ATV's and snowmobiles ride the same trails in the winter?????

Not Ottawa carleton, but yes right next door Eastern Otario trails From Sarsfield (navan) to Hawksbury (goto Quebec) Casselman ect...

Where was that picture taken MXZOOoom ?

Was anywhere near the Manotick/Osgoode area?

OK the pic was taken more east SO Osgood...Carleton Regional...Eastern

Maybe you have seen the carleton singe in Osgood? the trail starts there and ends here east of Ottawa next to the Eastern trail

Don't usually go to far east from here...except for the odd time we end up somehow at a place called the Oasis. :D

We sled-heads in Michigan treat ATV's on snowmobile trails like bad step children :devil:

i got 521 miles on my 04 rev adren 600ho this year :inlove: :thumbsup:

Up in Osgoode I go to the Red Dot, t's 35 40 minutes from here. yup hate the atv's on the soft trails.

Here in Parry Sound the local radio presents a daily snowmobile trail report, and today as always they made it very clear that it is illegal for an ATV to be on the already closed trails, of which the majority are private property. Gonna ruin it for us all.

You beat them up and treat them like krap??? :D :p

Freezerburnt, you got any snow left up there? We have NOTHING left here in Pointe Au Baril, the ground is soft and there are spring type temperatures :(

Lost a lot of snow last night :cussing: :( rained all night

Still 4-5inches but no longer rideable IMO :(

Might get 3-6inches snow by this weekend :cool:

If not I will be going to the lake to ride :undercover:

There is still 4 to 5 inches of ice infront of us, but it is sheer ice and very difficult to steer on. Not really much fun, and really hard on the sled.

I live right accross from the Red Dot - post a pic of your sled incase we cross paths sometime....when it snows :D
