Random Wandering
Sunday, Sept 7, at 10:00am,
King Eddie Launch Site
The trails are a little damp,
so hopefully less dust
Launching from the staging are at
King Eddie on Highway 6
Going to try and go to Grizzly Lake,
anyone know the way?
This will be a damp ride,
lots of rain in the hills
Dress to be warm, and to keep dry 🙂
Bring a lunch, we will have a camp fire to cook over and visit around
Please bring your camera,
take pictures to post on facebook
I will lead this ride, so
prepare to wander aimlessly,
Extra gas might be a good idea
Longest Day of the Year Ride & BBQ
Longest Day of the Year BBQ and Ride Thank You
A big thank you to Dennis Teale for hosting us, Clint Ingham for organizing
the food, and to all that helped set up, prepare and clean up. The food was
great and the company even better! Other than a bit more bush whacking than anticipated, the ride was enjoyed by all and everyone returned safely. Thanks to everyone that came out, hope to see you on the next adventure.
