Carman80 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) 6 of us are leaving the Toronto area and heading to Le Cabanon next week for a couple days of riding. We are hoping to ride 3 or 4 different loops approximately 300km/day. Looking for trail condition info, groomer activity info and recommendations on 3 good loops we can do with good lunch stops. Thanks in advance, Carm Edited December 6, 2018 by Carman80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimP Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 You might consider waiting a little longer in the season for 3 or 4 loops out of Cabanon, It is very early conditions right now with not even 1/4 of trails open. The lakes are not safe to ride, lots of water not froze yet, limited grooming for trail connections, places not open full time yet, etc. I have been riding this area for almost 30 years. We have a house across the lake from Cabanon. Went up several years for Xmas week and even then it is a hit or miss for good conditions. 300km/day trips are very doable from there from mid Jan thru mid March, just not in mid Dec. It is just too early. I would wait a month or go to Valins. I hope this helps. JimP Carman80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpysanta Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 MT VALIN , lots of snow and LOTS of people so trails bumpy.. YOU are coming a long way for trails that are not joined yet and lakes and swamps are not safe.. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
