Last Friday was the first day my pal Wally McColl and I had enough snow to take our first snowmobile run of 2012.
It was a long time coming. Last year at this time, we had probably racked up close to a thousand klicks on the machine, but not this year.
Because last Friday was also Friday the 13th, we decided to not trust the lake ice to be thick enough, although some fools did, and so we ran the side of the road for about five klicks to where the groomed trails began, and then made our way to Lake St. Peter to grab a coffee at the Porterville diner.
“First run of the season?” asked Nancy the owner. She was smiling of course.
She had just watched me almost reverse my machine through the front window of her cafe.
“How could you tell?” I replied.
It was bitterly cold overnight, and so the ice is now safe and the season is now on.
Some of the best trails in Ontario are around the Bancroft area, with the Maple Leaf Snow Skimmers and the Paudash Trailblazers completing for who is the best in the grooming game.
Come on up. You won't regret it. |
