582.4Northern Ontario....POLAR::KFICZERETue Feb 18 1997 04:269
    	Logged 200 miles on my sled this weekend. Rode from Richmond,
    Ontario, to Calabogie! What a great time. If you folks are ever in
    search of great trails... look no further than Ontario. 
    
    	On a side note, I hear the RAP ('round Algonquin Park) tour is
    something of a snowmobilers paradise. I may just have to make that an
    up and coming trip....

582.5200mi in a day.. Lifetime High for me..PTOSS1::MATSCHERZWed Feb 19 1997 12:1214
    Speaking of riding.. I had the ride of my life last week.  
      We started out at Houghton lake in Michigan and rode some of the best
    trails that I've ever been on to the Mackinaw Bridge.  It was a 200mi
    ride thru varying terrain.  We stayed overnight at a place right next
    to the Bridge.  Needless to say we were pretty beat and had a good
    nights sleep.  We rode back the next day to the motel (and took the
    shortest route I might add ! ) where we started out at for another
    187mi.  The funniest thing about this ride was that my sled was the
    oldest one of the group.  And it's a 95 .  Needless to say we had a
    great time and had no mechanical failures (unlike those old Rick-rat
    notes with his exciters ! ).  :0  :)   
    Gotta go..

    	While out for a morning run the other day I met a couple of lads 
    from the U.s. of A! They were sledding from Saratoga NY to Wisconsin,
    by way of northern Ontario!!! they started out as a three-some but
    had some mechanical probs with an XCR. They were out "scouting" the
    trails when I met up with them. Their pal was getting his sled fixed.
    They said NY trails "SUCK", Ontario rules (so, far). I agree'd, of
    course....

    The first week of my holidays this year was spent doing the RAP tour
    in Ontario. I did the same tour about 4 years ago and everything has
    improved dramatically. We did about 650 miles in 4 days. You could 
    easily do it in 3 days. They had lots of snow and everything was
    groomed pretty well.

582.82254 miles around Lake Superior..PTOSS1::MATSCHERZMon Mar 10 1997 16:4312
    Speaking of riding.. A friend of mine who just happens to live down the
    street from me did a ride of the lifetime.  He rode completely around
    Lake Superior.  Total ride was 2254 miles.  They only had two places
    where the snow was bad and had to get a trailer.  It took them 8 days
    to do the whole thing.  One day was 350 miles.  They said that they
    wanted to do it again.  They had asked me to go along with them.  I
    don't think I'm ready to do that kind of ride .. yet..
