I’m off to Edmonton Author: Terry

ON my way to the support meeting I stopped in at Steve and Andrew Richards at Mulhurst Bay and had a look at the Lees-ure Lite trailers. Nice looking units but are $6000.00 for a new one. That is in line but still a lot of money. If a guy uses it you can pay for the trailer in a couple of seasons. It would be perfect for a snooze after lunch or a break whenever you need it. There quick to set up, have a fair amount of room (for a bike trailer). I would probably want to catch a room every second or third night and get good night’s rest (especially if there is any bad weather. Then just stay in roadside pullouts for a night or two (this is when I’m covering miles). Use truck stops to shower and make some miles. I probably could put an inflatable raft and small motor on the top of the trailer but then you would have to unload them every time you fold out the trailer. This would be fine for the shorter riding and longer stays. I will see how the play funds are hanging out this summer and if thing are good this might be my next toy purchase.

The Richard boys are also into trike conversions. Check out their site www.trikezone.com…….IMG_6038IMG_6045

first ride of the year Author: Terry

IMG_5981IMG_5978IMG_5998Took the bike out and washed her up and headed out to Cochrane and out to Ghost Lake for a stop. Had my cold weather gear on and it wasn’t to bad till I got to highway 40 turnoff…..The wind was howling out of the Kanaskas pass and I stopped and took a couple of pics and headed back…….fun ride back with a 40mph tailwind. Stopped at the Morley bridge on the way home and snapped a pic of the bridge.

 

Well…..hear we go again……Its the middle of March and still the local racing season is in doubt. It sounds like the land taxes on Race City have been hiked to a very high level by the City of Calgary. There is no secret that the City has tried to get Race City shut down for years now, so this new tactic by the city is not surprising……Good luck to the Race City crew and good luck in saving our season.
