Saguenay Bill Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Last night we had about 12" of snow with winds up to 40MPH. Mikerider, the Ontario 5 and I rode 140 miles today. As long as you were in the woods it was great. But the fields had drifted. But tonight the fairy will come and fix all the trails up so they are nice and smooth. Spoke with a young fellow today about the kite snowboarding. He told us one guy was clocked on a GPS at 55MPH.Last night we had about 12" of snow with winds up to 40MPH.

Saguenay Bill Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Mikerider and I rode 205 today up on Mont Valin. Here in Jonquiere we got 6" of new snow and when we left Valin they had a good 8-10 and it was snowming very hard. Ran into the Ontario 9, yes they grew by 4 more, today at KM 31.

mikerider Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Terry, I did not race him. No, I signed up the owner of that beast to be my partner in the Cain s Quest race. Because that beast can carry lots of items, our strategy will be to bring big meals of prime rib and lobster and good wine. We will then feed all the racers (when they catch up to us). The other racers will then feel like a nap, and we take off and win. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 If they bring donuts and beer, race could take a few weeks to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
