Hello all, my name is Diana we are located in the Shelburne area (actually Hornings Mills) My husband and I bought sleds last year and went riding as often as we could, looking forward to doing it again this year. So if anyone is out and about this area, wouldn;t mind going for a cruise if we are available. Watch for the cat's along our ride quite often we stop at the Petes Donuts in Shelburne or the restaurant/gas station in Dundalk.

Hi Adam, if your looking to meet some local riders tonight would be a good start. Alliston snowmobile club is having their monthly meeting tonight. It is held at Silver Brooke golf club just north of Everett @ 8:00pm.

Hello, My name is Don and I live in Oshawa I also have a cottage on Cameron Lake. I do most of my sledding in the Ganny and Port Perry or the Fenelon Falls area when at the cottage. I bought an 2007 Yamaha Apex last year and I am looking forward to hooking up with other sledders in the area. This website is an awesome idea and I will pass this along to others.

Hello

My name is Dan Pegelo. I live in Barrie but I ride out of Wasaga. I have snowmobiled for about 20 years. I use to volunteer for the Blue Mountain Snow Drifters when I lived in Creemore. I currently ride a 2003 RX-1. I just got it last year and I can not believe the power and the fuel. I am looking for people to ride with this year I seem to be the only person left in my group that is still in the area with a sled. I have every other Friday off work so if anyone does not work on Fridays and wants to ride let me know. I do not have to ride in Wasaga.I will trailer to other places. It is always nice to see new areas and meet new people.

Hi! My name is Ian. I started renting sleds and going for a ride with my buddy back in 66,67. Did some riding in the Military as a winter warfare instructor. Haven't ridden since 76-77. Just took up the sport last year as something to do with the wife in the winter, so we are both Newbies. Don't ride as fast as the other guys, but I still get there Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

My name is Fraser but everyone just calls me Fraz.

I live in London but spend a most of my time riding near the French River/Lake Nipissing and Cochrane.

I've been riding for over 20 years and my current sled is an 06 SDI Renegade with some off trail mods. to the track and clutches. It has a stock motor and exhaust.

I'm an active member of the French River Snow Devils in Alban and the Science Hill Drifters in St.Marys.

I would rather ride a 100 miles/day off the groomed trails than 200 miles/day on them.
I average 4000 - 5000km. a season and at least 50% of that is off trail.
I only ride off trail were it's legal to doo so such as old bush roads, hydro corridors and lakes.

I'm not a fast rider (40-50mph) but when the riding gets technical my years of off trail experience shines.
Breaking trail, carving the powder, and side hilling are my favorite ways to spend the day.

I'm always looking for folks to ride with as most of my riding buddies don't have as much time off in the winter as I doo.

Hi my name is Steve McLeod and I ride in district 8. I just purchased a 2002 GT500 and I love it. This is my first year back on a sled in quite a number of years after a fairly serious snowmobile wreck as a kid (makes my gf feel comfy knowing that I was in a bad wreck lol! ) and I cant wait for more snow to get out and continue the fun I was having up until this dang early spring like thaw this past weekend December 27/28. Usually I ride with my girlfriend Amy as it gives us a chance to get away from everyone and have some time just to ourselves. We both enjoy sledding and look forward to seeing all our new friends on the trails. cyclops

PostSubject: Eastern Ontario   Wed Dec 31, 2008 5:17 pm

Hi,

I'm Steve Lowe. I've been riding ever since I drove my dads 1967 Ski-Doo 10.5 into a fence. I try not to run into fences anymore and look forward to winter more every year.

I'm originally from Hawk Junction and the Sault Ste. Marie area. I now live in Ottawa but try to get to that area again at least once a winter. My favourite route is from Sault Ste. Marie to Hearst and back. I am also familiar with many off trail routes in the area.

I connect with the district one trails from my driveway and have learned to appreciate the trails here. Although I prefer lake and woods riding Eastern Ontario has better trails than most people think and the traffic is light.

My pace is fairly brisk but not crazy. I don't usually have people catch up to me and I sometimes catch up to others. Being safe and courteous to other riders is very important to me. When the snow comes again I will be looking to hook up with people for rides in this area or up north. The last two years I have put over 2,500km on my 2003 Legend 700 mostly by myself. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I just downgraded my double trailer to a single and can hook up where ever.

If things go better in 2009 I hope to order a new Renegade 800 in the spring.

I hope that others from the Ottawa area learn about this site. It's great!

See you on the trails....

Hi! I'm Richard and I've been an avid sledder for over 25 yrs. I ride a 2005 Yamaha Vipor and love it! It has a heel clicker clutch and factory suspension. I like to ride hard but not dangerous and one of my goals is to ride the distance race in Labrador (Cains Quest). I'm a general contractor so I have very flexible hrs. and rides during the week are good. I'm in Oakville but have no trouble meeting anywhere for a good ride! I like to get out at least once a week and I kept a second sled for freinds and family but thats just a hassle. Need some serious rides let me know whoever is interested
