Sunday ride
Sunday ride
My wife has given me instructions to go riding this weekend as she says I have been a good dad! Anyone else up for a Sunday ride? I am thinking of a hellish ride off Hunter Valley road, this ride has some unreal climbs, I have not been up it in 2 years. We used to call it Jupiter Bowl due to the red rock.
Anyone game??? I want to get an early start.

Since the SRD has asked for a voluntary closure of the area due to all the rain, why not go to Riviere's Revenge HS on Sunday instead? I bet you'll get a good ride there. It doesn't sound like skeg and hill climbs would be good for our cause. In fact it might help the people trying to close the area to OHVs.
Tread lightly.......bunnies and deer are everywhere in the forest.
I might be able to make that. I'm healing from a broken foot, but should be good to go by Sunday. Hopefully we'll get a couple of days of sun, to dry up a bit. I just checked the stream gage reading at waiparous creek. It's up .5 of a meter from a week ago (but dropping). I usually ride up from the Waiparous valley road to avoid another 10km's of driving on the road

MtnBlue, on this ride, I park just off Hunter Valley Road because I need to save the gas in the bike, the ride is long and I tend to use a lot of fuel, I think the extra 20 km's would be pushing it.
I am here at work watching truck after truck loaded with bikes and quads head out west, it's driving me batty.
I mean, I want to go riding but others say I should not go due to volunteer closures, yet they are going in a race with 200 other people in probably the same conditions?? Someone explain this to me?? I realize I am opening a can of worms here...
I can avoid the skeg fields, and all the hills on this ride are rock, they do not show wear.

I am running a 250SX KTM and my # is 421. It may not be visible through the mud by the time I get from the truck to the starting line though

Did you hear back from the CMRC regarding your application or receive a receipt for the race license? If you haven't I'd suggest sending an email to info@albertadirtriders.com asking what you should do for numbers and proof of license for the race.Spinalguy wrote:i sent ADRA and RMDRA my $$$$ so i should be good to go. i requested 2 possible #'s. i will play it by ear as to how that all works out.

The numbers are actually administered by the CMRC in the East.
Bring some black tape to make a number on you bike and you'll be good to go for the race. See you out there.
large tank on my WR, I can get 150km plus on it. It looks like rain all weekend, so I might ride South Ghost where it's sandy.
