SPOKANE Area Riders

I'm in if it's Sunday the 28th -- out if it costs $$$.:huh

But I can always ride out and watch at least. Gives me a few more areas to ride about.

You all have fun down in Avery this weekend -- I'm headed North bike-less but not ATV-less.

AdventureGirl is up from Oregon for a visit. So, we take a little 2 night tour of the Kootenays. This place is your backyard so I feel this post might be interesting to you all!

Our first day we head out over a route that takes us through some power lines over a pass....




Plenty of roads like this...

The scenery is getting sweet...






and the ride plenty interesting...


With great views to be had ...

I know! I know!

I love that area and really wanted to get down there this year (trails/cutthroat/views). It seems I had a lot of things/places planned out for this year that didn't materialize...ARGH!

Be safe and take some interesting pictures if you get the opportunity... I won't be there so you may not have a lot to choose from...

Have fun at the Big Eddy. It is our 2 year anniversery today and Robin and I are heading to White Fish Mt. tonight after she gets off work for the weekend.

Meet up at the Snake Pit by 8:30AM for Breakfast/coffee/whatever. Leave :eek1 when we are done If anyone thinks they'll make it we'll wait ... for a bit at least



Pavement section:
Snakepit to Thompson Pass
Thompson Pass to Wallace (Maybe a bit of dirt right at Murray)

Dirt Section:
Wallace to St Joe (Weis) via Slate Creek

If I've got time I may even shoot up to Avery to look at the fish pond

Then its down to Big Eddies

Great See you there.

But ice-cream after lunch - which begins at 2PM - I'd call that dinner

Connie is all ready to go. She sure does have expensive taste in shoes. She better be really nice to me.

You're not running Shinko 244s on Connie?

I wish... I get two sets of 244s for what I paid for just the rear Avon. Not much of selection to choose from with her odd sized feet.

You gonna make it out tomorrow Brian? I can’t remember. If so, I'm meeting ID650rider from Sandpoint at the Sheri's in CDA (I-90/US-95) at noon. We will take 90 east to 3 then down past Rose Lake. Should be a nice dust free ride.

I can relate, I used to drop $200 a pop, or close to it, on rears on my Connie. $45 or so for a rear shoe for the DR is a lot less painful. I do need to order another soon.

Not going to make it tomorrow. Just too much going on this weekend. Have a great time!

Someone bag the tag (tag-o-rama)!

Have fun tomorrow all. I'm headed to Silver Mtn. for some downhill mtn biking. I was going to meet y'all for breakfast, but my friends are coming to pick me up before I could get back home.... (Don't want to leave my bike at the Snakepit0

In other news, my CR250 is back together, so now all the bikes I own actually run.

...and as my wife says, if you wouldn't ride them they would stay running! :huh

This one was running fine, but I decided to mess with the universe and take it apart to clean every nook and cranny and replace some parts that are wearing or just getting beat up from woods riding.

BTW, I'm now "that neighbor" because I got it all buttoned up last night and fired it up about 11:00pm. Wouldn't have been so bad but she's got a really high idle right now.

OK you FFs, how was the ride?

I stuck around the house, we had an old motorhome I've been trying to sell. It finally went away today! Almost worth missing a ride for. Frees up some cash for a new small tent to carry on the bike.

I just got home. I had a great time. Connie likes her new shoes. Hopefully she will treat them well so they last a while.
