Went out for a night rip and saw a bunch of scorpions and a nice rattler. Then I ate shit going too fast. Nothing but a bunch of road rash on the right side of my body. At least its just a little rash all over rather than a nasty wound in one spot..

New bike, built and maiden voyage. The improved rollover on steps and curbs brought a smile to his face. He enjoyed the speed, smoothness and trigger shifters. And of course, he is riding it to school tomorrow :)

@canadmos I feel your pain! Sorry its haunting you I've been struggling to find the energy to get on my bike lately. It turns out when my mind is all twisted up, that's when I need to go out on my bike for an hour and sort through the mess.

Dirt church mental health day!

@canadmos When you rode the Azilda trails, did you hit the bike park section?

I don't think we did. Jumps and such I assume? Which trail was it near?

That is some chunky looking trail there in that picture. Beautiful, really. :)

Definitely have to get back to Sudbury.

:edit: just saw the pics on strava, yep definitely didn't see that stuff!

Got another ride in, on teh uphill gnar. Head started pounding as soon as we hit the first trail, dammit. I trudged on to ride some of the goods, but it was a struggle at times.

This would be ok if it wasnt uphill. :D


I went otb right here, a few years ago. This is about 100 feet from the car. Was riding in the fall and slowly plowed into a rock under the leaves. Fun times.




Lots of Canadian shield slabs hidden in here.
