Like my riding buddies Hal and Kevin, I include my family in snowmobiling. However, one weekend each year we head out for what is known as "The Guys Ride". It is not a race nor a weekend of trail destruction, it is three to four days of long riding with few stops during the day. (Unless I decide to grab an interview with a trailside guest, or grab a coffee, or if Hal decides to talk to someone about every bolt and rivet on their sled.)
I was trail testing the 2009 Nytro XTX. You can sure spot the Yamaha fans on the trail when you ride this sled! Yes, that is the historic steamer RMS Seguin at the distant Gravenhurst pier.
Hal spent a lot of time on the CrossFire 800. It was a challenge on the tight trails but it was a blast in the open areas!
We met Wolfgang on Lake Couchiching, his Yamaha looks good and packs a little gift.
Now that's a nice little friend to take along with you on the lake.....he has surprised a few people with that little add on.
We met another Kevin at the OX Narrows, north of Minden. His sled has a FAST air suspension.
Can you say low-rider? Kevin was roughing it for us, it was -25 when I took video of him riding his sled.
Riding on fresh snow near Gravenhurst, WOW, it does not get any better then this!
Do I need to say anything here?
This swing bridge is on the Trent Severn near Sparrow Lake. I boat here in the summer with my family, and yes, it is a lot warmer in July.
"Trail 4" connects the Muskoka area to the Coldwater/Orillia area. What a GREAT little trail!
Along trail 4 we found some room to play like the locals do.
We gradually wound our way back to the Barrie area where it was time to sit and plan the last leg of our 1000+ km journey and head home. (sigh)
