Mornin’ bloggers – hope you are all coping with this hot spell !! I find it really quite tough I guess because of my age – I wilt like a flower!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer to the last quiz was Rob Shepard riding the old section known as Garbyn or something like that – most riders referred to it as Garbage-bin !! – It’s no longer used as a landslide destroyed it. – John Kitchener got it and said he rode that section back in the day – Bob-Brett and Pete also got most of it correct, as did Peter from OZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today. – Guess who?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We now have a corrected VMC poster – As I said to Roger, I get bit ticked off seeing this spelling mistake but mainly because I get so much mail and cheques spelled Outlaw Trailsport, because people think we have made an error!!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we heard from Turk who told us he had a very challenging ride to celebrate his birthday – he even posted a sign at a high spot to prove he was there!! Way to go buddy. Also said the TRS worked fantastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reminded me of my last ride up Joss Mountain on my 75th birthday – I’ve told the story before about that day with Stan- It was quite a ride. Perhaps the oldest Trial rider to get up there as it’s now out of bounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you spot Stan in this pic going up the trail in the Alpine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have posted before about the many rides we took up Joss mountain – And it is without doubt one of the best things that I’ve ever done on a Trials bike – because they are perfect for Mountain terrain. – Although the modern bikes are superb for competition, they are ideal for exploring the wonderful Alpine we have in Western Canada.. – We often see posts by Enduro riders doing similar rides, and really the bottom line is – if you have a trials bike, make use of it to explore the wonderful Country we live in. ( Trials bikes leave no signs and are quiet)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below this was a typical part of the Joss trail, built using pack horses in 1920.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

============================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is – If you have a Trials bike – and don’t simply want to ride competitions – check out the Mountains !! – We have done lots of Competitions, but the most wonderful experience for me on a Trials bike was standing on top of Joss Mountain for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
