Lots of snow up here indeed Canadmos.
But SCMBC works year around with our donated club funds.Attachments:
Thanks for the update @canadmos
I hope to get up that way this week while on a ski shoot. Wasn’t much of a loop last time I was there, after a big storm, so hopefully the recent grooming has helped. I know it’s not easy and everyone is doing their best.
Rode Durham today and it was MINT. Crusty, hard-pack with very little ice. Traction was amazing, ’till it wasn’t and you hit the deck. I had studs but think I could have got by without. Did a 30km loop and was stoked to be out. They have done a great job with the grooming and the regular traffic put the finishing touches on it. Traffic and a good community trumps grooming alone any day. They have a nice mix of both in Durham. Blew up my trainer this week so this was a bit of a calling and it felt amazing. Chicken soup for the soul.
Think things are getting soft elsewhere – AF, Puslinch, and Hydrocut. Duffy may be good as could Palgrave.
You ridding this weekend @canadmos ?
Sweetpetes is doing a great job of hosting fatbike rides in the Don as well.

Can we end this thread for the season yet? 😀
Rode some Simcoe trails last night. Was getting soft, but ride able mostly. Uphills after today will be impossible, I assume.
But yeah, lots of snow in there to melt….Pics from last night.
Hit Duffy on the way up to a ski shoot earlier this week. Rolled the dice hard and was fully prepared to hump gravel if conditions were not good. There was way more ice than I thought but it was perfect for the Hayduke with XL studs. regular studs would have still be a gamble. There were some ice free sections to relish in. Felt good to rail a few turns in the dirt. Wont be long now.
Reports from Turkey Point are that it is 80% clear with some stubborn ice sections remaining. I may actually go check it out tomorrow.
Wow, that’s a lot less ice than what I was picturing in Dufferin. I am guessing those are from around the central to ridge area? I assume Kens Trail is still a little more covered…
Heck if the warm weather keeps up and with a little rain, maybe we can ride regular bikes in there next weekend. Majority of Dufferin is sandy soil, so mud isn’t ever really an issue to worry about.
Sweet!
Simcoe County trails still looked like this on Wednesday night. Maybe a little better now, but its surprising how much snow is up there in spots.
Copeland is apparently icy with some bare spots here and there. Soooooooooooooooon!
So this is where were at folks.
