Great news!!! Have a blast in Silver Lake - I'll be thinking of you guys wishing I could have went!!

I was at the Ganny this past weekend (on my dirtbike unfortunately) scouting out some good trails we can hit on our trikes... it's got so many different types of riding terrain you guys will love it. From dirt hills to sand hills to creek beds and off-camber forest trails, you'll NEVER get bored riding the Ganny!

Here's some footage I took while there to give you guys who have never been an idea of what it's like:

I finally got around to MacGuyver'ing a wooden plank to sit on the rear end of my dirtbike trailer for hauling around my trike. Used a router to run some slots on the plank to line up with the rails on the trailer normally used to keep dirtbike tires in place...

So now I have room for one trike on the trailer, and one in the back of my van if anyone from the Toronto area needs a ride to the Ganny with me!

Looks good! I finally had to buy a trailer for my trikes and the Mrs.'s quad. I ended up cutting the whole trailer apart and made it the way I wanted it.

haha I see a km/ke 100 in that vid. Looks like a great place to ride. No rocks with lots of trails.

It truly is a great place to ride - definitely worth the $100 season's pass price (although there are $20 day passes available). I just hope it doesn't get shut down. There is a possibility that the Northumberland trails will be off-limits to ORV use in the near future, and the Ganaraska Forest is in the same district as Northumberland. I plan on riding the area as many times as possible just in case some day I won't be able to

Too bad you didn't live closer... it would be great to ride with ya. I hear there are a bunch of great riding areas on the East coast, and I'm an avid camper - so maybe one day we can hook up if I ever get a chance to travel out to your neck of the woods!

Lots of places and lots of beer too.

My dad is from peterboughro. Always wanted to go riding there.
But dont think for 1 minutes that our trails look like that. Hell our easteren highways dont look that good.

Excellent! Yep, still on for the 27th and glad to have another rider onboard!

Especially glad to have someone who knows the Ganny well - I've only been about 5 or 6 times total, so I still get very lost in that place. Hopefully you can help us find our way around and hit the best trails

This looks like it is going to be a good turn out! I was talking to a guy at work and he said that he may join us as well! The only thing is he has one of those things that has the four wheels,

Rumour has it that Turtles recently picked up a 200x he's hoping to have ready by the 27th... LET'S SEE SOME PICS!!

Quads are welcome (dirtbikes too, but we won't be hitting any single-track for obvious reasons) - the more the merrier!

**Kintore** · 06-10-2009, 11:24 AM

You guys have fun! Ross, make sure you tell me how it is!

Im away at TF, I feel bad for missin a lil mini Canadian Rally!
