Last day in the Puddle, and it’s not warmingup. On the contrary, we’re breaking temperature records that date back to 1955. Minus 8? Are you kidding me? Anyway, that was overnight. It’s much warmer out now, but still freezing. We chose to get the first lap of Prime and Endless on Desous today.
This is the new line off the back side that Shreddie cut last year. I wonder what it’s like when it’s dry? so far I’ve only seen it either soaking wet or frozen.
It really is steeper than it looks.
There, that’s more like it. He’s new to the sport, poor guy.
Shreddie, ass out.
It was anice way to spend the day, but it was just too cold. Check out the deck at Mark’s….

A likely bunch. Looks like trouble to me…..
It’s pretty damn cold out today. About -4C at the top of the trails, but it was fairly warm down by the river. The trails were still frozen, so you could go inhumanly fast on them today.
Yeah, warm. Lyle, you look ready for the beach….in Inuvik.
A good turnout too. About 40 riders showed up.
Even the cactus looks cold.
Chuckles was likin’ it, cold or no cold.
Some ponderous moments…
Glew dropping in….
Noel having a go…
Going…
Going….(nice one hander)
……..goiiinnggggggg……………
DONE.
That one coming on top of yesterday’s crash on the wallride, Noel is one sore dude right now. He said it was still worth it. I wish I had audio of the peanut gallery though. It was quite funny.
“Oh yeah, he’s got it…he’s got it…. he’s—-OOOOOOHHHHH!”
Chuckles decided on a different route at that point.
A different perspective….
That was enough for us. We retreated back to the comfort of Shreddies hot tub and saved ourselves for another day.
