Happy New Year

Temperatures of minus 20C in Lone Butte didn't stop 14 riders from meeting on Bleeker Road for the club's annual ride to the Dusty Rose Pub in 70 Mile.
With a forecast for warmer temperatures during the day and a hot lunch waiting on the other end, the riders set off into a crisp but sunny morning.  Surprising, it warmed up rather quickly.

The ride was a leisurely trail ride....good to get the body conditioned to riding again!

The lunch specials were all delicious and after some social time and the addition of a hot beverage or a beer, we were ready for the return trek to Lone Butte.  We did a few detours along the way so by the time we got back to our vehicles, we had over 100 kilometers on the sleds.

Thanks to Marie-Jo who managed to get Interior Roads out the night before the ride to clear a parking area for us.  Also to Norm for leading the ride and to Jeanne for coordinating the lunch, otherwise the Dusty Rose Pub was going to be closed that day.

It was a great day all around.  Now for those of  you who made New Years resolutions to have more fun in 2013,  I think getting out on the sleds is the perfect way to accomplish that!
