July 23/13 - HOT HOT HOT

Man is it hot during the day here! Nights are cooling down which is great. Rod and Jay are helping Cooper and Curt put a light kit on his bike and they said Trail of 7 Bridges is soooo technical now after the point where you could get off and walk up to the caves. They loved it but said they had the shakes at some points. These are photos taken by Terry and George down at Corbin. The Flathead took a beating! The road to Corbin was actually washed out for a week before they got the mine buses going through. The bridge just installed in the fall to go to Barnes is now downstream. You are going to be having some new challenges when you go out. Don't be afraid to turn around if you get to a tough point and you have inexperienced riders with you. Pick and choose as you go now. B road is fine all the way to the Corbin highway but the B road cut off has a 5 foot drop in it at the culvert. I took the photo of Curt & Sommer at the Elko track on Friday. We had a blast but were worn out from heat by days end and Cooper had a pretty good wipe out - that didn't stop him though. We met up with Roe and Luc from Sask. Roe is associated with the Nipawin BRP dealership. They were great and Cooper rode with them all afternoon. Curt and Sommer rode to Silver Springs Lake to watch cliff diving and then went for a dip in the creek before riding the side by side back to our "camp". That would be a cool long but refreshing ride from our place. We'll have to scout it out more. Curt has done it once coming to our place from Cranbrook by quad with the crew out there. Anyway....just thought I would share some photos of the flood results. Hint....bring an air pump & slime cause tires are taking a beating! Cheers - V
