24/05: First ATV Ride of the Season
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
The local ATV trails require a trail pass. On Friday we stopped in Sauble Beach and picked up a trail pass (the trails around Sauble Beach are more exciting than the trails near Walkerton, so we opted to join the ATV club in Sauble Beach). Anyway, with passes affixed to the ATVs we hit the Rail Trail in Walkerton and drove north. It was a good thing that we had trail passes as we were stopped by a "trail warden" and our passes were checked.
The trail is on what was a railway line, so it is flat and straight. Not the most exciting ride but the scenery is pretty as you drive through the backs of farms and woods. We were also looking for geocaches --- surprise, surprise. There are only a couple of this stretch of the trail with one of them at the north end of Paisley.
We had to ride over two bridges, this is the first one.
and this is the view from the bridge.
This is the second bridge
and it's view.
Enjoying the ride.
I have second thoughts about posting this photo as it's not very flattering but it does show the lessons I learned today. If it is dusty either wear a full face shield or a bandanna and wear an old shirt, preferably one that is dirt coloured. Or maybe the lesson is be the lead rider. Even though I ended up filthy I had a great time riding.
