The Trans-Lab is Overdone. We want to Ride the Rock.

I just happened across this thread today and it's making me feel very nostalgic. In 2010 my son and I rode across the rock on a mix of t'rail, forest roads and pavement. He was on his DRZ and I was on my DR 650. I have a ride report, but the NBDSC site is currently DOA, but here is a link to the photos from our trip - hope it serves to whet the appetite a bit.

Great shots. I'm on the rock last week of June and first week of July. Consider appetiite whetted
Can't wait!!

Thanks for the great pics!

Plus one on that! I'm only part way through (slow connection,) but I want some of that nice weather!

I've never been there, but I've been over the maps and sat images enough so I know exactly where that is! The limestone barrens! Yes, we will ride that!

So my question is.... Where are the trees you need for cover when answering a call of nature?

In Labrador. A short hop across the straits.

You just pick the crappiest bike and pee on it.

Oh, wait a minute. That would be my bike!

Never mind.

Thanks, but I prefer the dark Kawi green.

Inmate Ballics posted this over in the Northeast Regionals, but it needs to be here also:

No kidding.

It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood. NOT!



The view from our window this morning. Yuck!

I needed to pick my son up from a school event 25 miles away. What was that Neil Simon song? Oh, yes:

Can see out the windows today and we are discussing oil change intervals on the DR while sipping coffee.

And the roads are clear. For now.

What a horrible Spring.

The way I see it...

it's blurry!

That was then. This is now.

Has not been much of a spring here but there is a group ride on the trailway today from Holyrood to Brigus Junction to see what is left of the snow on the old rail line.
A good spring for 'bergs on the west coast though.

Another from inmate Ballics:

I kind of liked it better obscured rather than seeing snow.
