A friend and I made it out for the final ride of 2006 this morning at Fish Creek Provincial Park. It was a fabulous ride as we were able to cross the frozen stream at any point and was able to ride on it. Most of the parks bridges were washed out from the flooding in the summer of 2005. Ever since, crossing the creek has been limited to a couple bridges.
Zipping throught the forest.
The summers easy down hills are now garly icy death traps. (A ton of fun BTW)
It was really warm last week so everything melted but got fairly cold at night the last 4 days. The ice was NHL quality in parts.
The Nokian Extreme 294's work well as usual. As difficult as it was to walk on the ice, riding on it was like dry pavement.
Some areas of the creek had hard pack snow on top of the ice.
Shadows are getting long, time to go home.
Happy New Year everyone!
