Southern Ontario Trikers - Newtonville March 17th or 18th?

[Xhumeka]

Anyone interested in riding Newtonville this weekend?? I've never been there before, but keep hearing decent things about the area. Would love to check it out, and since Ganny and other trails haven't opened yet this seems like the obvious choice... Anyone in??

[JJMF1979]

I wouldn't mind going but the only thing I would be able to ride would be my 84 200m and that wouldn't be much fun, my 200 x's are in the middle of rebuilds so hopefully next time I see someone that wants to ride nearby they will be done

[Xhumeka]

Sounds good JJMF1979 - I'll keep you posted for next time.

I heard from a few people that it's still really soggy and muddy there right now, so it's probably still too early to have much fun there. I'm probably going to explore some service roads on my dual sport instead.

freinds of mine where in there on the 16th and they said it hwas to muddy to run there bikes. seems like all them people with there dum 4wheelers have goone throught and made a mess

[stillhunter]

I think a few of us are hitting raglan tomorrow around noon.No fast bikes though a couple M's, a 185s and my SX. I used to live up the street from the sugarbowl and rip my YZ490 in there ,it should be a mess

Don't go to raglan... That place is police city. They said will will be heavily monitoring it this year. As for newtonville, its only muddy in the low lieing areas which are mostly on the east end. To the north it is fairly high and it stays pretty dry. Newtonville is a great place to ride for any type of riding. You can go as far south as lake ontario and there are lots of trails down there. I've ridden along the shores of the lake for miles and miles. I've also seen quite a few trikes there. I have no clue how far east it goes, I went about 4 hours one way and it was still going. There is tons of steeeeeeep hillclimbs too, but if you don"t have some good aggressive tires, you'll slide all the way down. Don't ask me how I know. Only downside, tons of dirtbikers flyin all over the place, no one cares in there. Sorry I missed this thread B.J. I would of taken you around with the x. Next time!! I go there more than ganny because it is closer, and free :) and you don't need insurance or anything to ride in there, so I could take the x there before I had insurance.

Count me in Jason! I'd love for you to show me around the area... I keep hearing great things about it but have never been! Maybe if I get my act together I can finally get that '86 250R Kevin sold me together and try it out!

[stillhunter]

used to live on Webster rd. know the area pretty good. Went out to raglan and over towards burkton rode about 7 hours, no cops yet.Good time except buddies recoil screwing up

Free? No insurance? Sounds like my kinda place :)

[Xhumeka]

I noticed (via youtube subscription) that you guys hit Newtonville this past weekend... what did you guys think of it?

Was that your first time there Myles, or do you go there all the time?

[Jason125m]

I'm down for a Newtonville ride sometime... I know the area very well. Did you guys go down to the lake? Real fun down there, Miles and miles of shore depending on the water level.

[myles]

Xhumeka, that was my first time there, and wow what a great place to ride. I can't believe it's so close, and I've never been there. It has a little bit of everything there, hills, trails, tracks, forest, I will definitely be going there alot. I think this weekend the 5th, we should be going to Newtonville- what do you think?

[Xhumeka]

I can't believe I missed the chance to ride with the BigWheel!!! Are you going to bring that out on the 5th??

I'm up for a trip to Newtonville - I don't have my Ganny pass yet, so I can squeeze in a weekend of free riding ;)

[Jason125m]

I'm down for Newtonville or Ganny... I wish i had my aggressive tires here. Last time I was there, my worn out razrs SUCKED.
But I also know a lot of people are looking forward to going to the Ganny.

[myles]

Jason, it was pretty dry last weekend, not alot of slick spots, I think your razrs would be ok. Plus like Xhumeka said, it is totally free to ride there, which would save anyone coming in from out of town, the $25 fee per person for the Ganaraska.

[RoscoW]

You Local guys call it, It's your Rodeo. Just let us know before Friday. Looks like it's me,Shannon, Tapper, my brother ans possibly one or two of his boys.

I think this weekend the 5th, we should be going to Newtonville- what do you think?

How big of an area is it? Is it the type of place we can explore all day (like the Ganny) or is it more of a fun place to play, like raglan pits etc.

[Jason125m]

Its not so much of a flying through the trails place. More of a slow place. And not just nice smooth Ganny trails. I've spent the day there and was entertained the whole day. There is still probably trails I haven't even seen, particularly to the east and down south by the lake. I've only been as far east as the mud pits, and obviously as south as the lake, but there is a lot of trails from the lake I've never been on or seen. All depends on the water level I guess. I'm pretty sure turtles knows the area better then I do. Its a lot more of a playground then Ganny. And actually takes some skill to ride there.... LOL. Lots of steep hills to play on. But I am unsure about going there because of the amount of people we are going to have. Anyone else been there??? Figure out your password yet turtles?

[hillbilly 200x]

I don't know if you guys really want to be riding in there to much. One of the other forms that I am on started a thread about how OPG has closed it becuase of the trash bomb fires, and dum people.http://www.mudhole.ca/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=19620

[Jason125m]

Well trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro I guess we're riding at Ganny. I was waiting for them to shut it down. Those retards threw garbage everywhere. Disrespectful.

[Xhumeka]

Yep, can't organize a public ride in an illegal riding area - heck, technically speaking, we should inform the Ganny of any organized ride that we expect 15 or more people to attend! (right Shannon!!! ;)

[Jason125m]

It wasn't illegal when i used to ride there. My buddy and I contacted the OPP, and Hydro, and they said solong as noone gets hurt, and no one ruins the place they don't care if people ride.
It's a shame a few ruined it for all. AGAIN. Anyways,,,,,,, back to ganny thread.

[myles]

OK Ganaraska it is, say 9-10am in the usual spot p-3,does that sound good?

[RoscoW]

Done.

Ross..

[Jason125m]

Sounds great, see you guys then. I'll be there for 9, just have to stop and buy a pass.
