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 […]
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.
2019/01/13 – Alex’s LIRC dirt ride.
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).

Having missed the big ride on Saturday, I wasn’t going to stay home Sunday.
2018/12/07 “missed” LIRC dirt ride
Blah. Swapped some gear around and got burned by it.
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.
DRZ-400 Wheels and spokes
There’s a bit of joke in the online forums, that if you think you know better than the “little japanese guy that designed your bike”, “you should not be here asking questions”. I keep running into this. Those guys know/knew their stuff. I didn’t know what butted spokes were…
