Today's #ottbike #NorcoSceneVLT #ebike ride was a chance to check out the forest trails at #OldQuarry. The wide section of trail 24 was fine, a few damp spots and puddles but rideable. Trail 23 from the end of Trail 24 along Robertson Road looked too muddy as expected so I skipped that and went to the portion of dirt trail that went alongside the Trans-Canada Trail towards Eagleson Road and that was fine. Then I went to the Old Quarry parking lot and checked out the trail alongside Robertson Road from that end but did not get very far before I turned around and headed down the small hydro line path and home via streets,.

Another week or two and I will check again.

Today's #Bridlewood #otbike #winterbike ride was interesting. After doing the #EmeraldMeadows pond (part of the path was still not cleared but snow packed and rideable) I headed toward #Trail24 at #OldQuarry and discovered it was still rideable. There were fat bike and ski tracks as well as parts packed from walking. However someone had been through on something that left a caterpillar track on it and i could not avoid it and every time my tires went over it it was like rumble strip on a highway causing the bike to slip and slide. When I got to the Trans Canada Trail I diverted to that which was not as smooth as the forest trail normally is but butter than dealing with the caterpillar tracks. I headed back home via the small and large hydro line paths.

I have updated the E-Bikeable Trails system section of my Old Quarry Trails map to reflect the subsiding of the flooding on part of the trail system. Scroll down to the E-bikable trails section.
