My OperaTrack Ride Number 2 and Course Release
Friday, May 12, 2006 4:57:08 AM
The course has been released. Tattoo El Grande is not making the trip, so it is just Dan, Brent and I. Preliminary plan is for me to ride the first section to Vallee de Trindad, and then Brent will ride the technical section around Mike's Sky Ranch, with Dan finishing. Dan says we won't need lights. I hope they ride fast then. Of course this could all change if I find myself crashing too often on my section. Radios and Headsets have arrived. Looks like we have to give blood to figure out our blood type. I hear we get free cookies though.
Headed back to Chilliwack Wednesday night. The river gauges Fraser River Levels showed that the river levels had not come up much so we figured it was worth a drive. We put in 30 km on the track as opposed to 16 last time out. I only crashed once. Brent says he went down a couple of times, but I didn't see them. We tried taking some pics, but Brent needed a camera lesson (and I still need riding lessons), and by the time we figured that out it was too dark (the camera bit that is, we already knew about the riding). I also discovered that I need to figure out how to set a shutterspeed on the dig cam.
Hope to get some riding in this weekend again.
