Where was this?

 

[RXN]

Where was this?

Nordegg area.
Staged just west of tidewater gas plant. (1st left past the plant).
Rode along side the east face of the Brazuea Range. Then followed the river around the back side and up into Nordegg. Took the old rail trail back towards the trucks.

Only two really technical spots.
The one wash out two of us winched our machines up. The 570 made it look easier. The one 850 wheelied the whole way up. Myself and the brute winched. Lol.

Unfortunately no.

When i ordered it. I should have ordered the insulation blankets with it.
I thought spray foaming would be the way to go.
I can't affors that at this time.
Calles the manufacturer up to get the blankets. They told me it needed to be purchased with the order.
So not insulated.

Thanks…do you remember what they quoted for spray foam? I have a line on a building like that but am worried about insulation cost….

I had 3 quotes.
Ranged from $26,000.00 to $30,000.00
All said the spray needed to be 3" thick.
Shop is 30w x 44L x 16 (at the peak) the corrugation of the walls doubles the surface area. Hence the big price tag

Thanks. Wow that’s a huge cost….definitely outweighs the benefits of a building like that! I talked to a guy at American steel span who said he could get the insulation blankets separately from their contract supplier. I didn't follow up as I didn’t buy the building yet….

If i were to do it again, I'd go with a wooden building.
(Or at least get the insulation blankets)

Nice looking loop! How many km was it?
I’m hoping to get out a couple more times. Just gotta convince the wife it’s not too cold or find some others to ride with!

79km.
Tons of other trails too we didn't run down.

Wouldn't mind making another trip back there before winter. Explore some other spots.
