Night riders of the Coalition

What can I say, really! 11 rippers, 4 laps, shuttle driver, fireworks, light layer of illuminating flow dandruff(snow for those not in the know), great vibes, post ride celebrations and all on a school night. Yeh Coalition! Rockin it!
Luckily, we had the mountain to ourselves, because on lap one the exhaust on the pil van kinda gave up the ghost, and forced us to all embrace any existing redneck tendencies. Kinda felt more like we were heading to a derby as opposed to riding bikes...

Planning on having the van fixed for tomorrow. Thanks again to Phil for not only driving us but utilizing some of his free time to help get the van sorted. Phil for prez!
The way this weather has been as of late is really just fate telling us to get out there and ride. I don't know about you but I don't need to be told more than once. The next few days are looking to be in the high teens. Get those lights charged. Bring the stoke and we will see you tomorrow @ Cougar for 4:30 or SF for 5. A quick email as always is much appreciated, and if you can't make original meet times, than we can always arrange to hookup for lap 2, 3 and or 4.

Go ride,

Tuesday night laps are on

Hello Troops,

Last Tuesday, was certainly an explosive evening of riding out @ Moose mountain. The Coalition managed 3 laps in the light, and a fourth night rip down john guy on the Rocks, was easily in the works. More to follow at a future date about last weeks pursuits/shenanigans.

Conditions are with us this fall, and it looks like Tuesday should provide another op for the Coalition to keep things rolling. So, same dealio as last week, Cougar ridge for 4:15ish, Station Flats for 5... situation.

I need confirmations to make it a go. Whereas, a couple of core and key
Coalitionite' s are taking a brief hiatus from riding, in pursuit of their quest, to truly understand the healing properties of the Milk. Keep us posted on all developments and fight a good fight. All the best!

Cheers,

Reg

Bonus riding!

Yo Troops,

Tonight's a go! Conditions are prime! Lets saddle up and keep the seasons momentum going full steam ahead. I am thinking 2 laps in the light and 1 night lap min. 5 @ Station Flats or 4:15 in Cougar Ridge. If making it out early is an issue than come on out for laps 2 or 3 or 4. The trailer is back in action for tonight... so efficiency should be obtained. Pics are of some Coalitionites shredding it up during the Toothless race. Thanks to CC for providing all the cool prizes for the participants.

This weekend is looking grand as well, so get out and ride, we could easily be snow covered right now. Take these bonus conditions to the bank, cash in, and point those bikes downhill were they belong.

Tuesday didn't see many takers for the full moon rip, so I won't rub it in too much on how awesome it was, I can't resist a couple of pics though.

It was this bright.... No lights required in the open sections.

See you tonight and go ride!

Ride night postponed to Thursday

Sorry troops, but it looks like conditions may be a lil on the sketchy side out @ moose today. I can't quite get a good look, but snow is evident from trailhead to trail bottom, and with the temps only getting up to 2 degs out that way, things will likely be soggy for this evening. Sucks, because I was amped to burn off some of the turkey and take advantage of the full moon situation. Hopefully, the sudden change to Thursday doesn't hinder anyone from coming out.

Thursday Station Flats for 5 or Cougar ridge for 4:15ish.

As a side option. I plan on heading out to do a Full moon Prairie Mountain hike a bike this evening. So, if any of you are down for such a scenario be sure to send me an email this afternoon. I did this last year during an October full moon and with a light layer of snow you don't even require lights in the Alpine. Pinning the ridge, at night, without lights, on a shallow layer of snow, will leave you speechless. This is most certainly a for troopers only event, considering the slog and the cold factors.

Last week the Coalition kept streaking with an easily obtained three lap minimum. It was a Phil for president situation, thanks for coming out to shuttle, and hopefully Wizzla was great for you on the wknd here.

Sorry for the lack of foto's in the blog as of late, but with shuttling efficiency being our prime goal, we haven't been stopping to session much.

Thursday we ride! Or tonight if you reside in trooperville.

Cheers,

R.

Early this Tuesday!

Yo Troops,

Mega props to all you Coalitionites that came out to the race/trailday out @ moose this weekend. Great to see you all wanting to give back and supporting the trails. Very impressed!

After all that buffing on Saturday, as a result of the trail day, I can't wait to rip the goods. So, after some quick discussions we have decided to push Tuesdays ride to a little earlier than previous rides. Meet @ 5 @ Station Flats or 4:30 for Cougar ridge. Heads up as always is much appreciated.

Last weeks ride night was a dandy. With 3 laps and some of the best fall weather I have ever experienced.

See you tomorrow,

Reg
