Hello--- about riding the North Side...
Please be aware that BMA has an agreement with the Algonquins of Eastern Ontario whereby , we as a club, are & have previously over the past several years asking our members to refrain from entering Eagles Nest Area!..
I know that as a club, we used to have The Boogie go to the little parking area on the ATV trail at the base of Eagles Nest...But we NO LONGER condone or advise this practice!
Please respect the Native Spirituality for this location!
I know that ATV's still go there... But I'm sure if you check with Chris Davis (BMA President) he will confirm this very important point!
I have been involved in the North Side Boogie for the 11 years I've been with BMA..
I strongly advise that riding the North Side at this point will be extremely negative towards the trail stability.
PLEASE...Hang in there a bit loger before riding Calabogie North.

Steph and I were out today on the south side. Did 40 km in 3 hours. Still lots of snow out there. The first 1/3 of Bompas was deep and ruff but the rest was "good". The trails over all are ride-able if you know where to go and stay off the hard stuff/deep snow. Steph got some Pic's and hopefully will post them when he has a min to do so.
Normally the North side you wouldn't want to ride till the conditions get better, maybe mid to end of may. You'll start seeing rides being posted around the same time. Just make sure whoever u go out with knows what your skill level is so they tailor the ride to your level/skill.

For anyone wondering what the trails look like I took a few pics today from the south side, all ATV trails.
Ryan resumed trail status pretty well. Don't let the pictures fool you, there is still 1" to 4" of snow on all the trails. The further we wen't west, the more snow we encountered on the trails.
Don't bother going out unless you have a low pressure tire system or / and studs.
We ran on tubliss today (no studs) and it was a blast, plan to do it again next week.

.Hard to say if you need studs or not, I've never used them so not 100% sure. We are going to get a lot of rain and some snow over the next 5 days. Like Steph said we are running tubliss 8PSI front and 3PSI in the back and the trials were do-able with that set up. For this weekend we are keeping an eye on the weather and going to see if we can get out when it's not raining. So far Friday late afternoon/night is looking ok, but we'll see.
