2026 Rides

[Lightcycle]

Friggin guy is going to go on one ride with me this year and drop it half a dozen times likely.

I knew it:

Old and slow now though.

You lied to me.

Oh well, I drop my bike all the time when I ride with my buddies out here. Might as well continue the trend...

Clear, I rode from Porcupine-Iroquois Falls-Cochrane then back to Timmins today. Roads are clear of sand, spring repairs on potholes are done.

It’s as good as it’s gonna get!

Hey Mike have you been up towards Aubrey Falls or around Elliot Lake area at all recently?

I'm thinking of heading up there and wondering how the TransCanada and the southern portion of the 129 are.
Here's the route: Google Maps

Mattawa to the 144 is good, haven’t been west of the 144. Generally roads in the north are good now. Washouts and potholes are fixed or marked, roads are clear of winter sand.

533 to Mattawa is good - drove that a few weeks back.

Thanks!
Been over 10 years since I was up near Mattawa, so looking forward to it. And I always pass by the Elliot Lake area on the TC, but never head up that way, so that will be a new one for me.

Something about Elliot Lake, I found it to be a very depressing town. I don't know why exactly. They do have a nice look out though.

HWY 69 is a mixed bag, it reduces down to 1 lane each way, and lower speeds, which causes some congestion. I'm sue you must be aware of it.

This a day ride or a over nighter?

Thanks - this is a day ride, starting from my buddies cottage and then helping another buddy hit the 1000mile mark. So not planning on stopping very much
