After 5 or 10 minutes into the B trails I felt as if I had timewarped back to a GVMC Piston Run in about 1985. Nice corner to corner blasts with enough tight corners and uphills to make it really interesting. Loved the off camber climb about 30 minutes out and Tamahi Connector was a treat. Traction was good all day but not perfect as I found out after I discovered a nasty diagonal root hiding under the leaves. Nothing has changed in 25 years, I still crash!

It takes a lot of time and effort to clear out those old two tracks and skidder trails so thank you all who made it happen, it made for a perfect day at "Church".

Thanks also to Flyn, Dirtrider, Collin and the rest of the great friends that make this sport so much fun. Trying to keep up with you guys keeps me young.

Thanks for the great job organizing the event and for prepping the trails. What a lot of fun, even if I did get separated from the group and did the Church Mtn loop solo! Billion-dollar views from the top of Church - I'll be back!!

Thanks to all that had a hand in organizing such a great event. Well done!

Thanks as well to the event sponsors for their support and hospitality. Your choosing to support these types of events makes a big difference in where I choose to spend my motorcycle dollars, and I know it does for many others as well.

As for me, I had a great ride. It was fun to see some old friends and to make some new ones too.

When's the spring noob ride?

Cheers!

Some video from the event online now... I have more footage but I'll cut that into something else with my goPro. I apologize for the shakycam... stabilizing footage in Premiere for mac is such a pain...

Great event, thanks to the oranizers and anyone who helped in any way...especially the guy who let some air out of my rear tire so I could get up that one damn hill...I tried until I couldn't lift my arms before searching for another route, took one try with the new air pressure (altho I did fall halfway up ;) ).

I was on the TE 510 Husky with the snapped off mirrors, turn signal and entire plate assembly, it was awesome!

edit: And I was on the video from West Coast Rider :), coming out of the bush, leather blue/white Icon Jacket

edit again: Here's the Google "my tracks" of my route, gps was a little off with all the trees, but the basic route is there, also forgot to start it at the beginning so the first part's not there. http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?hl=en...0.168743&t=h&z=13&iwloc=000492d63748bf98f3c05

Always have a great time with you Ron! Gonna have to get out more now that I know I am healthy enough to ride once again......as long as it is up hills, had a fair bit of trouble going down...but I guess for every up , there must be a down...

Damm, i wish this ride wasn't on the same day as the Fraser Valley toy run ! I didn't think i'd ever miss a newby ride, but the wife didn't get to go to last years toy run ride cause i was on the Newby ride so we spent $27.00 on a day permit for the Harley and drove in with about 750 other bikes. Lots of fun, but i'd rather be dirtbiking
