2019-02-03 Clark to Valentine “ridge” and out Muir with Alex

Forecast wasn’t great, but after having spent a good few hours wrenching on Alex’s bike so he could ride Sunday, it would have been stupid to stay home. He wanted to see snow, so off we went…

2019/01/20 – Getting stretched by/with Devin and Jammer

One always needs to have balance. In this case, after playing guru for a few rides, I needed to go back to being the weak link, the guy dragging his sorry self and bashed up bike at the end of the day. Kick-ass single track loop!

(spacer).

Lots of video. Not sure I’ll get to editing it. Came to realize I’m having trouble getting over big logs because I can’t wheelie… or more accurately, I can’t get the front wheel up, and then compress the rear suspension. I can weight/deweight, or I can lift the front end (sorta) … I can even sorta/almost do them in one move… but I definitely can’t get the front end up and then launch the bike off the rear wheel.

2019/01/19 – Informal dirt ride with some LIRC folks

Got out on the Saturday with a couple other light bikes and “less timid” riders. Weather forecast was for showers until 2-3pm and then clearing. Well it wasn’t bad while we were riding, but got drenched riding home.

Alex posted on facebook: “Anyone want to do some dual sporting this weekend? I’d like to follow someone around the trails” … there ended up being a dozen riders :).

2018/12/30 quick “pre-ride” with Chris and Michael

Chris wanted to lay out an “easy” new-years-day (NYD) dirt ride that would be doable by big bikes (although perhaps not by newbies on big bikes).

2018/12/08 Solo ride, cracked rib

Having missed the big ride on Saturday, I wasn’t going to stay home Sunday.

2018/12/02 Run around Kapoor, met Alex

Playing catch up on posts. I can’t remember why I was solo this day. I was running around the near end of Kapoor, possibly trying to find a way west to Mt Lazar… ran across a brit on a little KTM 150 two stroke.

2018/11/24 – Long ride … up the backside and around Mt Todd, with James, John, Mike

Trying to play catch up. This was a good run, some snow on the back (north) side of Mt Tood, some new terrain, and lots of revisited track. We did run low on both gas and time.

I have video, but that’s the only still picture.
