Fat Tire Trail Report

Date: Wed Feb 5th

Location: Dufferin Forest

Riders: Johnny

Quadrapied: Max

Interesting night tonight, kinda a two sport triathlon.  Started out on the fat tire bike and the snowmobile trail was so-so.  Fresh snow which had not yet been groomed with a little sled traffic on it made for a slow soft ride. Only got in about 4km (which felt like 20km!). 

Headed back to the car, put on snowshoes and headed back out.  Snowshoed the "link" trail and goofed around a bit in the forest before heading back.  You could snowshoe with your light off as the moon was providing enough light.  Got back to the snowmobile trail to find that while I was gone the Fat tire trail fairy (aka the groomer) had gone past!  So hurry back to the car, change shoes again and head back out on the Fat bike for another 8 km or so.  Couldn't resist riding fresh groomed trail with no snowmobile traffic.  So what started as a mediocre night at best, ended as a pretty good night in the woods.

Ride rating: 2 out of 5, 

4 out of 5 (snowshoe), 

3.7 out of 5 (aprez groomer) (would be higher but I miss having my friends out!)
