We will be there @ NAI from March 1 to 6 (maybe 7 if we decide to extend it)... guess we'll cross each other's paths but no chance to ride together :(

thats cool,if we cross paths i'll buy ya a beer.

Don't count us out just yet!

Looks like a party in the makin's

How much Canadian beer can I bring across the US border into Canada?... I'm going to bring at least 1 case of Molson XXX... Jake says you can only bring one case? but if it's Canadian maybe more? LOL

6 if you can hold that many without peeing.

I think Jake is right though.
However, I believe you can bring in more but one case is the limit for duty/tax free. You'll have to pay more for bringing the others in.
Not sure waht prices are like in PA or OH but a case of bottles here is around $38 or $40 I think. I don't drink, so I don't know for sure.

See you up there.

Jeff

Only 2 more sleeps until we head up folks.
This may turn into the Unofficial SW Canadian Ride yet. lol

JR, get those ribs ready.
I'm drooling already just thinking about them.

Jeff

heading out at 5am. calling for freezing rain so may ber a slow go. cya there.

Have a good trip gang. Our conditions were fine when we were up there.

have a good time everyone..............:bigsmile:

I'll be up March 7th for a week.
Riding down to Lake Mattagami (Gogama) on the 8th for a Club Fish derby and Steak BBQ.
Likely doo some boon dockin on Sun. and Mon. around Matt. Then stopping at Post 392 before heading back up to Cochrane on the 10th or 11th till the 16th.

We got back last Thursday night... met up with tunedbyear on Wednesday night.

The trail conditions were excellent! (Best I've seen but I've only been to Cochrane 3 times now :)) Too bad there was freezing rain on the previous Sunday night so the powder had a nasty crust to it in the Canyon. I had some off-trail fun on A106C towards the C trail and north from Smooth Rock.

We rode down to Timmins, over to Kap, and up to the Canyon as well as a couple of the local trails.

My vacation days are done for this season, but if this weather keeps up, Cochrane should be good until the end of the month.

got back last night. it was nice seeing ontrider,catdoo and their crew. trailblazer and his crew. thanks for the gifts jeff. best conditions i've seen in the 3 yrs. i've been going.trails had 2 to 3 ft. of base. there's a good 3 ft off the trails. did the canyon loop. the new trail back towards smoothrock has alot of straight running on the power lines,but becareful there is some quick turns going into the woods and back out. if you are going back to the north adventure inn you can take l107 to the left. this cuts out smooth rock. it's a nice groomed local trail that comes out on the A trail. this way is 8 mi. shorter than going up to the canyon. becareful on the c trail south of smoothrock. if i remember right sign says 18k of logging. the road is pure ice with a little snow on the side.ridable but without picks very slippery.
