Fun Day - Sat. Feb 16th

Don't we always choose the days for our rides!  What a mix of weather - sleet, hail, snow, fog, and yaaay - a little bit of sunshine.

We decided to head out to Smith Lake again since the snow conditions are always good out there.  Marcel informed us - "no playing or detours along the way - we'll save that for the afternoon."

When we headed up into the logging slash that takes us over to that side, we could barely see the riders in front of us.  It soon cleared up for our lunchtime campfire and was feeling quite warm.

Not a dead tree to be found here for a campfire.


Finally - one dead tree beside the road!
Lunchtime  at last.

 After lunch, we set off to do some exploring.  The weather quickly changed to blizzard like conditions.
Jan decided that the guys needed some exercise after lunch.

Janet got tired of waiting so was practicing some sidehilling....
Back to the Thuya side
We did several detours onto side roads on the way out and rode back into the "taj mahal" tree fort area again.  This time it was easier to get into since we had a base from the last time we were in there.
The day went much too quickly and it was time to head back to the parking area to load up.

Funny how both Geoff's couldn't seem to find their brakes.

No cooking again.  We all went to the Opax Mountain Cafe for an early dinner of lasagna, salad and breads.   What a delicious way to end the day.


Thanks to Jeanne, Syd and Geoff for submitting the great photos.
