    Ride Sunday December 7/2011

    Edit: OOOOOOOPS! Ride is December 11!!!!!!!!!

    Easy terrain and lots of Kms is the goal.
    Millstream Timmy's at 9am fueled and ready to ride! (8:30 for coffee and BS).

    Very loose plan is to head to Sooke and Renfrew, then towards Nitnat and some fireroad exploration. Back to town around 3pm.

    Easy terrain - so OK for the V-Strom with a not too experienced off-road rider?

    I expect so, but I don't really know for sure.
    We have a bud coming on a 800 GS with next to no dirt experience and 90%street tires. He's leaving the option to turn back at any given time open.
    Worse comes to worse you'll have his company.

    That's cool then. I could bring the WR but I still have street tires on it. At least I have the K60s on the Wee. If I have to turn back that's not a problem - I just didn't want to stop before the start

    Excellent!
    We have 7 confirmmed riders other than yourself, and other maybes, so it should be a good group.

    12 bikes! Awesome turnout for this time of year.
    Sorry about the conditions on what was supposed to be a short excursion on the way.
    Had no idea. The main part of fireroad (Renfrew to Nitinat to Youbo) was a lot better.

    Cowgirl,
    Glad you came out. You force that Strom to keep its momentum. Got some serious skills!
    And thanks for lending the WR to Balls. I know he had a good time. Most would be frustrated beyond belief, but he was just too happy to get some saddle time! hahaha

    Thank you. We both had a great time. Next time the WR will have real tires

    Ready to go.




    Ooops


    Not quite what I expected when I lent Balls my WRX (with street tires) He was still smiling at the end of the day though.



    Improvised traction on a motard. Thanks Joca (sp?) and Sarah!
