Weekend Ride Guide

Fat Ian’s Post:

Who’s goin’ riding where this weekend?  Drop a comment and maybe you’ll find some riding buddies.

In case your weekend plans bring you downtown on Saturday, Actif Epica will be at MEC SnowFest – 11-4 at Mountain Equipment Co-op.

Wed Nite Ride Report

Fat Hal’s Post:

4 of us , Al, Liam, Adrian, and myself, decided to brave the warmth and we met at Ass Forest parking lot 7:00 for another 2hr ride (counting the travel time to and from the parking lot). We bombed the paths in Ass Forest and then headed off to Assiniboine Park for more trial riding. Unfortunately we got separated and lost Al part way through the ride. We spent some time chasing red blinking lights on the Harte Trail thinking it was Al only to discover that they were the tail lights of cars passing by on the roads further down the trail.

Looking froward to next week’s ride and hopefully colder temps.

Hey it’s Wednesday again

Who’s up for a ride?

I can’t be there tonight (still on the mend; count me in for next week), but here are some suggested topics of conversation:

1. Are you game for a 100km fat bike ride in Grand Forks on December 17th?  Should be about 15-20 yankees there…

2. So, what’s the deal with this Actif Epica thing?  130km, are they serious?

3. Can you really call going for fatbike rides with your significant other a duel?

Wed Nite Ride

Proposing that each week we take turns being the ride “leader,” the role of the leader is to plan the evening’s ride. The ride should be about 1.5 hours in length, after that anything goes, of course once the rivers and creeks freeze and the snow flies our options become more interesting.

Who wants to be ride leader this week?

Ian is out but there will still be a ride. I will leaving downtown around 6:30 so it will be a stretch for me to make it in time for a 7:00 pm start – will do my best.

Update – reality has set in and the chances of me making it to Assiniboine Forest parking lot at Grant by 7:00 is unlikely. Hope that people still decide to ride, I will be riding but latter (heading west on the Harte Trail).

Sunday morning coming down

Fat Ian’s MFB Post:

Things get fat this Sunday – 7 a.m. at the Assiniboine Forest parking lot on Grant, gentlemen.  Bring some cash if you want to have breakfast at Nick’s mid-ride.

See ya there.
