Brrrrr

Well, the weather predictions this week bounced all over the place. What looked promising is now a brrrr fest. Obviously, no riding tonight unless...... just joking!

We will just have to reflect back on last weeks, 4 night laps, of prime full moon bliss. Really, this is Canada and we did enjoy prosperous riding conditions right up until the middle of November. No complaints and much gratitude from this guy.

For the stubborn, tough, diehard, maybe crazy mofo's in the lot... don't fret too much. If you want to keep pointing your bike downhill... opportunities exist. Just be prepared to have your hand constantly close to that perspective dial and get used to being mocked by all those winter enthusiasts. So, if you wish, don't be constrained and make it happen and go ride! The hardest part is getting out the door.

As stated earlier this week, it is still great digging and still plenty to be done, so any interested peeps be sure to drop me a line. I am a firm believer, that if you contribute you get more out of it. So get involved and amplify!

At some point, I will likely do a recap of the Coalition season on the blog here. Keep tuned for that, and you never know, maybe the Chinook gods will touch down in all the right places and a call of the Coalition will have to be in the makes.

Cheers!

Thursday maybe??

Yo,

Conditions are not looking the best this week. Sunday's snow is sticking around longer than anticipated. At this point, the shuttle road @ Moose is looking quite sketch. I was thinking of giving Moose a couple more days of these moderate warm temps to maybe clear things up for potential Thursday night laps. If your interested have a look to the blog this Thursday AM.

Anyone not working this Friday, and that is interested in some woods/digging time, are more than welcome to join me to work on the Tdub gully re-route. We are making good progress on this project, and at this rate, may see it roughed in before the digging season comes to an end here. Many thanks and great trail Karma to those Coalitionite's that have been a part of this.

Enjoy your week!

Have dirt will ride

Troops,

It was really strange not having an epic evening adventure last Tuesday. Catching up on things on the home front gets a lil boring in a hurry. Luckily, conditions in the hills have brought back that procrastinating potential and the trails are yet again on the brink of our mint flavour of choice.

Tomorrow is a go. Meet in Cougar ridge for 5:30 or out at SF for 6:30. The temps are getting a little lower. So, ensure proper preventive prep is in the makes. As always an email heads up is much appreciated. I unfortunately don't have the remembrance day off, so riding during the day for this cat, isn't an option.

As a heads up... It's the full moon again this Thursday, and plans are in the makes, if any Coalitionite's are up for a late week fattire alpinefest. Let me know!

Go ride,

Reg

Evening ride this week postponed

Hello Troops,

It has been quite a streak. Most Tuesdays, leading right up to the end of October, have been stellar in the weather department, prime on the trails, and pinned on the flow and fun meters.

It looks this week that winter is certainly creeping up on us. Tonight's ride is postponed, and pending on conditions, we may aim to try and get some Coalition riding going on this Sunday. Send me an email if your interested. Ill be out that way on Friday(doing some digging if anyone wants to help....likely Saturday as well) and will scout out conditions.

Last week we kept momentum and managed an easily obtained five laps out at Moose mtn. Nine riders for five laps on a Tuesday evening.... is a fine demonstration of shuttling efficiency(thanks prez!), stoked troops and very capable night riders. 1 lap in the light down Tdub, 1 duskrun on JG(sketchy) and 3 full on night laps down Tdub, Toothless and ROS. Wow, is all I am saying. I never envisioned our troop evolving to such a level. I could easily keep going on that statement but shall divulge more at a future date.

Let me know if your down for the wknd.

Cheers,

Reg
