Yo Coalition,
It looks like the trail chowder at Moose this evening is a little too watered down for a proper taste. But the menu is predicted to be in fine form for this Thursday. 5 course minimum anyone? Who is hungry?
5 at Cougar ridge... 6 at Station flats. An email heads up is appreciated.
Hope you all had a super wknd and it's blue Skies and big smiles for future Tuesdays(knock Knock).
Cheers,
Reg

The Coalition groove!
Yo troops,
That was one fine night of shred on Tuesday. For a simple freeride club we are really representing out on the trails. One of our largest groups yet but the cohesion, camaRADerie, level of stoke, focus and desire for vert is catapulting us to some very fun and exciting school nights out in the hills.
Rockin it. Many thanks to Sandy for the foto's!(all that got forwarded are included) Next week is on but a half hour earlier! 5 @ Cougar ridge 6 At station Flats. Van will be heading up the mountain very close to 6.
I was planning on mixing the venue up a little, but after sensing last weeks stoke, I think Moose should be re-visited yet again. We will entertain a hike a bike and Canmore for a Tuesdayrip soon!
Yeh Summer! 4 days of riding are in my immediate future... hopefully many of you reading this have similar plans.
Go get em!

Up the Creek with a Pedal
The Coalition and Canyon Creek were out in full force last Thursday.
It flowed! Both the creek and the sredders of the Coalition.
Luckily, the trails didn't take too much of a beating from the relentless downpours from the weekend previous. Steeper sections took the brunt of the water damage and most of the water had been dispersed away from our trail network by Thursday. The odd new spring in spots, but mostly conditions were Good to go. Nothing a quick impromptu trail day couldn't buff and fix in an evening.
A big thanks to "No # in the hat Vincent" for being the photographer for the evening. The Coalition easily managed 4 laps even with the creek fording. New bikes, new riders, our biggest group yet and still one epic, fun and dandy evening. 
We are the Coalition and tonight we ride!
5:30 Cougar ridge - 6:30 Station Flats!
Cheers,
Reg

Ride night postponed to Thursday!
Shredders of the Coalition,
After careful consideration of conditions out in the hills, I had to call it for this evening. It looks like the gush factor is a little high for all the trails at Moose, and that our fat tires would undoubtedly bring excessive and unwanted trail damage.
Look what happened to the last person that attempted to ride trails that were way to wet and soggy.
A little patience and rescheduling is in order.
Thursday looks to be the best fit for the trails. Hopefully, you can all make this work. So, 5:30 Cougar Ridge or 6:30 Station Flats for this Thursday the 16th. An email heads up is appreciated.
Last week was incredible! 5 laps easily obtained, a stoked crew all Hulked up on Redbull(thanks Sandy!), and the troop is really starting to represent in the flow department. The System is by no means broken!
Thursday we roll!

Go Ride!!!
Yo Coalition,
This week for ride night # 4 the numbers were down a little with the Canada day holiday luring many into vacation land. The seasoned fab five that saddled up easily obtained a 5 lapper out of the mountain. Conditions were fast and tacky. Trails that had a bit a gush in some sections are now opening up the door and welcoming riders to tap into that speed. Tap Tap Braaaap BRaaap!
It is so summer... I can't get enough. Long evenings, warm days, dry trails, roadtrips, campfires, post ride beers, amazing mountains, great friends and lots of ops for 2 wheeled bliss! So go get em! Our summers are short... embrace the mayhem and give'r at every available chance.
This coming Tuesday is a go. 5:30 COugar Ridge or 6:30 Station Flats.
Go ride!
