My brother and I are going and taking the 3 stooges with us. The 2 trikes to ride with the quad sitting on the trailer cheering us on. (just in case of break down).



These are the before pics..I will post some after pics. Bet you won't recognize them!!

The area is pristine and the trails go on for 100s of miles..I was told that there is even still snow on the ground is some areas of the deep bush.

It should be a pretty cool ride!! Hope others can attend with us..those without Ganny plans.

Have a good weekend wherever you are riding!!

Hi guys, just thought I would report on the trip to Kearney this weekend.

My brother and I drove all the way up to the west of Algonquin to attend. Of 250 machines we were the only ones with trikes. Pretty cool showing those big expensive quad how to run the tough stuff.

I rode my 250SX and my brother rode my quad since the police were present this was our backup plan incase they were stationed at the road access parts of the trail. He would hook on with a strap and tow me to the next trail so I wasn't 'operating' on the roadway.

Anyway over a 100km, six hour run we didn't have to use the winch once. Almost all the quad users did..

There was still a fair bit of snow on the deep woods trails, lots of flowing water, tons of rocks and logs..plus the inevitable mud bath. The PERFECT 10 ride!!!

The weather on Saturday was epic..sunny, clear, temp started at about 7'c and ended at 17'c.

Hope you guys had a good time at Ganny, but I know we lucked out to the better part of the weekend since it didn't open til Sunday which was raining.

Here's a few pics..

PS. Hope to catch up with you over the summer..my bro and I plan at least one trip to Ganny.

We didn't get alot of video during the event because the number of people on the course didn't allow us to stop and shoot. But we went in again Sunday morning after the crowds were gone and redid some of the trails..got some video. I will post them over the next couple of days.
