Hello Coalition,

Yet another 5 lap minimum achieved and we made it home a half hour sooner than last week!

Let's aim for another stellar evening of efficient shredding this Wednesday.

Once again we will meet at 5:15pm at Big Dan's house in the SW (Near Highway 8, Sarcee Trail, & Glenmore Intersection - Address will be provided via email to those who respond) or 6:06pm at Ing's Mine.

An email confirmation is required by 3:00pm August 1, 2012 (daniel.nieuwenhuis@gmail.com). Seats are filled on a first come, first served basis.

Don't forget your $10/person/evening to keep the van running!

See you Wednesday!

Hello Coalition,

Last week our 5 lap minimum was once again achieved and despite a few bails and a broken brake, good times were had by all. We'll be looking for a repeat of 5 laps again this week, hopefully with less bodily injury and bike damage.

Given that the forecast is uncertain, in the event I receive info indicating that the trails are too wet to ride I will post an update here by 2:00pm tomorrow.

Otherwise, once again we will meet at 5:15pm at Big Dan's house in the SW (Near Highway 8, Sarcee Trail, & Glenmore Intersection - Address will be provided via email to those who respond) or 6:06pm at Ing's Mine.

An email confirmation is required by 3:00pm July 25, 2012 (daniel.nieuwenhuis@gmail.com). Seats are filled on a first come, first served basis.

See you tomorrow!

Let's Try Again!

Hello Coalition,

Pending any beta indicating that Moose got hammered with rain tonight, and given the hot day forecast for tomorrow, we'll be riding tomorrow evening.

5:15pm at Big Dan's house in the SW (Near Highway 8, Sarcee Trail, & Glenmore Intersection - Address will be provided via email to those who respond).
6:05pm at Ing's Mine

An email confirmation is required by 3:00pm July 18, 2012 (daniel.nieuwenhuis@gmail.com). Seats are filled on a first come, first served basis.

Apparently the bugs are pretty vicious so don't forget some spray. Water might be good too given the heat.

See you tomorrow!

COALITION TONIGHT CANCELLED -A Little Riding & A Little Digging

COALITION TONIGHT CANCELLED DUE TO LOW ATTENDANCE.

Not sure if the bugs, heat, or digging trail is the cause, but I've only received one confirmation for tonight as of 1:30pm today, so I have decided to cancel the ride tonight....gas gets awfully expensive and shuttling difficult with only 2 people riding.

Sorry for the inconvenience if you were planning on coming but hadn't gotten back to me yet. Next week I'll institute a cut off to ensure I don't have to do the last minute thing.

Please remember that there is a Trail Evening tonight....the more the merrier!

Hopefully the numbers are better next week....

-Dan



Hello Coalition,

What a sweet evening of riding was enjoyed by all last week. If I'm not mistaken the first 5 lap evening occurred even with some flats on the trail. We got home late, but there were smiles all around.

This Wednesday, we'll be giving back by joining MMBTS for their Stampede Trail Day that starts at 7pm. This means that we should be able to get at least one lap in prior to some digging time, and at least one lap following the trail day. We'll play it by ear, but bikes will be ridden.

5:15pm at Big Dan's house in the SW (Near Highway 8, Sarcee Trail, & Glenmore Intersection - Address will be provided via email to those who respond).
6:05pm at Ing's Mine

An email confirmation is required (daniel.nieuwenhuis@gmail.com). Seats are filled on a first come, first served basis.

Let's ride/dig/ride!

Big Dan the Man

Hello Coalition,

A sweet evening of ripping bikes last Wednesday.  4 laps and no shuttle hits for anyone as Peter Keats vollied his evening to drive us whilst he is recovering from a wrist injury.  Happy healing Pedro and many thanks yet again.  

I will be taking a little bit of a hiatus from running the Coalition for the next 6 weeks as I am luckily hitting the road to pursue much biking.  Its been awesome getting to know all the new Coalition peeps and I am looking forward to witnessing the progression after a summer of Wednesday evening rides. Get amped for a stong fall season and if you don't already own lights I suggest you start looking into getting some.

Big "Dan the Man" will be stepping in to run the show while I am away.  If you could confirm VIA email to Dan for tmw's ride that would be mucho appreciated.  Dan can be contacted at daniel.nieuwenhuis@gmail.com.   The plan for this week is to still meet at my house at 5 if you still want to carpool from the city or 530ish out at Ings mine.  Dan will inform for future Coalition evenings via the blog.  Many Thanks Dan... I hope y'all easily get into a 5 lap minimum rhythm. 

Have a sweet Summer and go ride your bike,

Cheers,

Reg
