White stuff

Hello Coalitionites,

Reg here, Just back from a very amazing summer of bikes and welcomed home by some unfortunate weather out in the hills.  I was hoping to get reunited with the group and get some bikes pointed downhill this evening but mother nature has other plans.  Snow has hit Moose and is still lingering.  Maybe not the best situation for riding tonight but the long range forecast does offer a glimmer of hope. Fingers crossed for next week.

I am also thinking, if it is plausable and if there is enough interest, that a wknd day trip to Mt 7 before the season rolls to a halt would be a good way to make up for the circumstances that have made our Wednesday nights challenging.  Let me know via email if that interests you.  (regmullett@hotmail.com)

A big thanks to Dan for being the man and keeping the good Coalition times rolling in fine form during my absence.  We will be co running the Coalition for the remainder of the year.

Enjoy Turkey and be truly thankful as we are all very fortunate!

Cheers,

Reg

Coalitionites....

Here is the picture from the Elbow Ranger Station rain gauge....looks like Moose got hammered pretty good yesterday......

Unless someone else has some better info and even though I'm itching for a ride, I think we should cancel Coalition for tonight....so lets hope that next week is better....

Coalitionites....

I was planning on riding tomorrow evening (Wednesday) but there are two challenges with making this happen.

1. The weather....I will check in the morning, but it seems to me there was a decent amount of rain in various parts of the City and West in the foothills. If there was in fact significant rainfall, I have my doubts that it will be dryish by tomorrow evening.

2. The van.....our beloved shuttle rig has been serviced and is ready to go, however, due to other commitments, I was unable to make it up to the North side of town to pick it up in the last few days. I doubt I will have an opportunity to make this happen tomorrow, so unless something changes, we'll need to go with an alternate shuttle truck.

So here's what I'm thinking.....if you're interested in riding tomorrow evening, please fire me an email as soon as you can tomorrow or tonight, then, if you have a decent sized truck and are willing to shuttle with it (we'll pay you gas money this time), please let me know as well.

If the rain isn't too significant, we have enough people, and a way up the mountain, then I'd say we go for it.

There's a chance I'll get stuck at work, so if there are a few of you who want to ride and have a way up the mountain, I'll do my best to coordinate for you so at least some of us get some laps in.....

Thanks,

Dan

Gents,

Unfortunately we are unable to make tonight's ride happen....keep those lights charged because we will finally get in some nights laps one of these weeks....hopefully next week!

G'morning Coalitionites!

This week is currently up in the air as I am out with the flu and Reg is out of town and may not make it back in time to run the show this evening.

Given that we haven't ridden in a while, I'm also unsure of the interest for our Wednesday nights...

Shoot me an email if you're interested in riding tonight and I'll do what I can to see about pulling something together. The sooner you let me know the better......

-Dan

Hello Coalitionites!

Just an update for you on what's happening this week and in the weeks to come.....

Both Reg and I are back in town and looking to keep momentum on our Wednesday evening rides well into the fall. Many Thanks to Regan for taking over the duties in my absence!

Our beloved shuttle rig is currently in the shop for some much needed TLC therefore we will not be riding this week.

Everyone has 7 days to purchase appropriate lighting gear as we have many a Wednesday night worth of riding left before the road closes in December!

Wednesday's Ride Cancelled thin Week

Unfortunetly this week I am being pull away for work so will not be able to commit to driving the van. Sorry folks.

Last week showed that even with fading August light and the end of summer vacation we could still find a comitted crew to pound out 4 laps in the daylight.

With the fall in full bloom it's time to charge up the headlamps!! Next week lights will be in full effect.
