And I'll pass the buck on to Myles and Peter :P
Normally opens May 1st, but I have a feeling there is still at least a foot of snow on top of hard packed ice - but maybe the boys who live closer can give us the scoop!

Peter and I were out to Raglan pits last Sunday. There was still a bit of ice and snow through the forest, but I would say by May 1 it will be long gone. May 1 is on a Sunday this year, and if everyones schedule is clear, I say lets ride. Hopefully there will be a few more new faces this year. cheer's

Now that Turtles has sold his ATCs and doesn't come play with us anymore, you'll probably be the only one with a utility trike, but that's fine - it just means you're HARD CORE!!! :)
Here is the trike Turtles was riding last year:

Jason125m
04-17-2011, 09:06 PM

HillBilly is right - prices jumped when HST hit (nice excuse for rate hike I guess).
Here is more information including where to purchase passes from:
http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthread.php?110565-Ganaraska-Forest
I have found the most convenient places to purchase a pass from is either the Petro Canada or Ganaraska Leathercraft.
We ask that everyone purchase their passes before meeting so no time is wasted and we can start the ride ASAP.
13 MORE SLEEPS TILL THE GANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

04-18-2011, 09:30 PM
Depends on how many times you plan on riding the Ganny, I'm there almost every weekend, it would be nice to have a few more riders coming out on a regular basis. As for the time and location, Xhumeka usually sets the time, and which parking lot to meet at, and links a nice map to this thread, so everybody know's where to go. May 1, can't wait!
hillbilly 200x
04-18-2011, 10:08 PM

What about parking at the the last place we were at. I think it was called the dogbone, or something like that. The gravel road was better than driving on the service road. Just a thought...
Tapper
Xhumeka
04-19-2011, 10:58 AM
I know the spot you're speaking of Tapper - we nick-named it "Big Dog Parking" because the first time we found it, there was this big ass dog hanging out there. It's definitely a little easier to get to (coming from the South at least) and there should be enough room to park for everyone.
So how's this for a plan...
Sunday May 1st - 10am - Big Dog Parking
I figure 10am will give those traveling from London etc enough time to get here without having to wake up at 4am.
For those with GPS units, I recommend downloading this file to your unit that has a bunch of saved waypoints and track files. "Parking - Big Dog" is shown as a Waypoint: http://www.ragefaction.info/images/psych0/orv/gps/Ganny_Complete.gdb
For those without GPS units, here are the waypoints superimposed over a Google Map: Ganny Map (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=110193038479026533624.00048abd940aceb7e096b) Click the "Parking - Big Dog" link to get driving directions to that lot.
So! Sunday May 1st - Big Dog Parking Lot - 10am (show up a bit before 10am so we are ready to roll out of the lot for 10am sharp if possible).
SEE YOU GUYS THERE!!!

I'll be there with my es. Picking it up on thursday... Can't wait to ride her again. Everyone says they havn't ridden with a Big Red. So i'll bring mine.
Bringing Garnet James?
Jason.
Got room for a dirtbike? :naughty:
Sounds like I can probably come: I'm going to be pretty rusty though. If you have helmetcams, bring 'em, 'cause you'll probably catch me launching my WR off into the weeds :lol:

Of course! My trailer does not discriminate, and our bikes and trikes have always gotten along well in the past... no fighting on the way there - we've never had to threaten them with "I'll turn this car around right now!!!!!!"

My brother and I are taking my 250SX and 250ES up there with the Quad onboard as backup. Hopefully timing works out better for next year or maybe later in the season...have fun. I know I will!!

04-24-2011, 09:54 AM
I'm so happy to see such a great showing for Ganny's opening day!
I'm starting to think though - it's going to be busy for opening weekend, and now that it seems there's going to be around 15 of us, I think we better change our meeting place back to P3.
Big Dog Parking is definitely more convenient for a lot of us, but it's just not big enough for our group, especially if there are a few others parking there already. Also, that parking lot is technically not a Ganny parking lot, and I've heard rumors you can get in trouble for parking there. Maybe Myles/Peter can confirm, they would know better than me.
But even if it is OK to park there, I still think it might be too small... what do you guys think?
tapper190
04-24-2011, 10:40 AM
From what I can remember, I think it will be big enough, but I was only there once. I would leave it up to Peter and Myles.

Tapper
If it were just our group I would agree - but last time I was there it was almost filled by 10am; and again, since this is opening day, I just want to be sure we all have room and we're not split between two areas especially if we are planning to have a bbq lunch.
Myles & Peter - you guys know best!
myles
04-24-2011, 03:24 PM
I think it would definitely be better parking at P-3, especially at 10:00am, that parking lot does fill quickly. Like Xhumeka said, there is alot more room at P-3.
tapper190
04-24-2011, 04:09 PM
Well, I guess we will meet at p-3 at 10:00 am, may be even a little bit earlier. I know my ride likes to leave early in the morning to beat Toronto traffic, which I don't mind at all!
Tapper

Final plan...
Sunday, May 1st 2011 - Ganaraska Forest
P3 Parking - 10:00am
Map to P2/P3 parking lots, directions from Toronto (http://www.ragefaction.info/images/psych0/orv/maps/ganaraska/3.jpg)
Detailed map showing how to get to P3 from highway and P2 (http://www.ragefaction.info/images/psych0/orv/maps/ganaraska/ganny_p2_and_p3.jpg)
If anyone has any questions ask away - otherwise see you guys May 1st!!

Jason. My dad will be on an 250sx or his yamaha big bear (old bear) so you want be the only slow one. We will be there at 8am you are welcome to meet up with use, we are just going to go out for alittle ride and then maybe head back to the trucks around 10 or when ever. I still have to tune the 250r a bit. Aaron
86'250sx
04-25-2011, 08:09 PM
The reason Jason says I'm the slowest is cause I have a big red rear end in my 250sx and it makes it slow. I had it at his place saturday and decided to race him on his big red and it didnt work out so well for me. I forgot to tell you Jason I hit one of those big @ss bumps in your road and got some pretty good air, not entirely on purpose either. Can't wait till sunday either! So far I've got my brother coming on the 85 sx, his buddy on an outlander, and maybe my dad on a trx 420 rancher.
myles
04-25-2011, 08:30 PM
Tapper, I'll have to ride the 250r to be able to keep up to you on the 500x. I think some kind of drag race is in order here!

Awesome man, my bigred just glides over those bumps, that thing NEVER gets air on anything... Damn tanks. My 125 gets air on every little bump hahaha. Can't wait to see the 85 sx =P haha, i should get ryan to come on the beater 125 hahaha

04-26-2011, 09:17 AM
Hey guys... I might be there as well, not sure 100% though. If I do come I will be the slowest for sure on the 200s lol... Wet weather all week they are calling for in this area...
Xhumeka
04-26-2011, 09:23 AM
BJ, are you on 3 this time or 4?
Tapper
I'm hoping 3, but I don't want to jinx myself... Maybe I'll join Bit on 2 wheels if I can't get either trike ready in time...
For those worried about their ride being too slow, don't be. We always travel in a snake formation, with the slower riders at the rear. At EVERY intersection you ALWAYS wait for the guy behind you, and every 20-30 minutes the leader usually stops for a break to let the group catch up. We always accommodate slower riders so never worry about that!
And yes - with rain in the forecast all week it will likely be sloppy at the Ganny! But that's to be expected with Spring riding... 2 months from now when we're eating each others dust and our lungs are caked with it we'll be wishing for this type of riding weather again ;)

Make sure you double check all nuts / bolts first James! Don't want to have your new bike fall apart on the trails, EVERYTHING was loose on my es when i bought it. And the 125 i just bought. The bolts on the cases were so loose it was leaking oil.

I'm going to have to make the call on this one tomorrow night. If the indication is rain I think we will be sitting this one out. I like playing in the mud, but getting cold and wet and then driving 3+hrs home isn't something we're looking forward to. Add in the price of gas (I'll be $250 with passes) with the forecast....:(:(....... I'll watch the weather channel and hope for a change for Sunday. I really want to ride...

I don't think we will be there quite that early, should be there by 9 15, thanks for the invitation though. Was planning on just hanging around the parking lot checking out all the trikes that pull in, and meeting everyone.
Jason ok no problem

Had the bike all loaded up and ready to go and wasn't able to fall asleep until 3am and have to work midnights tonight :( Wish I had someones number so I could have relayed the message to give everyone a heads up. Hope the ride was a blast and the rain held off.

I realized the same thing Saturday night around 9pm. Luckily State Farm has a 24 hour support line, emailed me proof of insurance, and I had Mike print it off for me (since I don't have a printer!!).
As usual - no paperwork check at the Ganny... they should bust more people for not having Ganny passes/insurance and use that money to hire crews to clear trails!! ;)

Great job BJ, just think what kind of vids. you can get at Silverlake! I think the high light of the day was racing up sand hill, lol. It was great to ride with everyone again and the new riders that came out!
Can't wait for Silverlake in June!

I'm one of the slower riders on my LTZ 400 and I topped out at almost 67Km on the fire roads according to my bike. If I had to guess I'd think most of the trikes would hit 80 or better.

05-03-2011, 11:47 AM
GREAT video BJ, I'm glad you caught some of those moments on camera... Like James' Sand hill tip that i missed when i was there! hahaha!
Hopefully i'll have a 85r sometime during the Ganny season so that i can do some climbing too, and go faster than my slow ass Big Red.
Can't wait to get back out there and ride with you guys again! Definitely let me know when you guys are going again, it was great to finally meet all you guys! I had a BLAST!!
Jason.

Hey guys ! I want to thank you all for riding with me in the Ganny and for all those who helped out Lynds while she was out on the track! She had a great time out there and is looking to come out more this summer as well as to future trips US side! She also wants to paint one of the sx's PINK but we can save that poll for another day!
Jason125m
05-03-2011, 09:39 PM
James, if you paint that sx pink, you are no longer welcome to my cottage. Muahaha
P.s. Linds did great! If i didn't already know it was her first time, i would of never guessed.
I have some friends who cant ride half as good at 1/4 the speed.
Jason.

NO!!!!!
I fought for another hour last night trying to seat the bead - I have two ratchet straps around the tire and have snugged them as tight as I can, and I still can't seat the bead.
The saga continues lol!

I had a few bumps in the road but I'm back to the regular stupidity I call life. I'll have to wait for a trip to silver lake, the pics I've seen from your trips definitely seal the deal for a trip in the future.
Thanks for posting that pic BJ, your doing a public service sir.
