We rode Belle today.
Snow pack has definitely settled. We have a wicked good base now. We just need a good dump of fresh.
On the back side of Little Belle we stuck the probe in. It's at 60cm. Two weeks ago it was reported at 130cm.

Some rocks and small landmines. We did not get into the meadows at all.
Seen Rod up there with the groomer. Even after being groomed trail still rough. But way way way better then it was when we ran up.

Was a good test of the new gear today too.
I need to get another layer to wear under my motor first shell. I was cold. Only had a base layer, t shirt and shell. Not good enough.
New titan helmet works pretty good. Liked both the Revo Red and yellow lens. Really like the 210 view.
Still fogs up. I find more air flows through it then my defender helmet.
New GPS worked great.barely drained any battery.

Good to get out and scratch the itch.

Played in the Bowl on Belle today
Shawn had his phone set on burst mode.
So here are the burst shots of me falling off.
Hence my thread asking what your definition of a stuck is
Curtis says this is a stuck. I disagree.
Flipped her over and rode back down.

Anyone know who these ****tards are?
I literally just donated the first aid kits two weeks ago and some bottom feeding douche bag stole all the contents.

Completely speechless! I have so much to say right now...but it’s the same thing that we’re all thinking so I won’t!!!

Thanks for donating those kits, I’m sure we can get something figured out in the event someone needs them o4 has an emergency!

Put up a cabinet or board with that guys name on it with what he did, in ever riding area, on the booths, cabins etc...

I would classify that as a “fail”. Not a stuck.

It amazes me that someone can afford to buy a sled and gear and still feels the need to steal first aide supplies. That's lower than a snakes belly in a wagon rut.

Higgins have you talked to Rod lately?

It’s been raining for two days over here in Quesnel, and the temps looked a little colder on the McBride side. I’m thinking they must of got some fresh snow over the last few days....
