9 hours and 118 clicks total a fun day on the trails - albeit a long one not without it's adventures.
Ron and Mary were our guides for the day - it was the same route he had guided the "farmers" on a few years ago. I knew this to be a fun ride. There were 10 of us. Ron and Mary, Joanne and Mitch, Barry and Sandy, Brent and Nate and Rejean and I. We met at the gravel pit at 9:30 and hit the trails. We kept our eyes open for some black berries but only got a few as we didn't want to loose our guides. There was lots of puddles to go thru as we have had quite a bit of rain. They are fun to go fast thru. Mudding is fun.
We stopped for lunch at a "camp" with old cars and building - the bugs were pretty bad so we didn't stick around. There was a few "bridges" and I use that term very loosely. The first one pictured wasn't too bad and everyone made it across safely. The one rickety bridge I remembered was not in any shape for people to be riding over and the ministry had put a sign on the trail that usage of the bridge was prohibited. We checked it out and decided they were right.
Joanne found a huge pudding stone but Mitch wouldn't let her keep it.
Then there was the last bridge.
Even a shower couldn't get the grit out of my eyes and it still feels gritty on my teeth but it was so worth the ride. But maybe not as long in the future.
I say that now...
