Chalk River run 2020

[jayvee43]

Morning guys, I hope some of you are not feeling as muscle sore as me this morning. My wife asked me if I was OK. Maybe she sees an older man in the house this morning.

I think yesterday was the first time I saw the red-team get their asses kicked by the yellow team since...ever.

Anyways, I have several helmet video cam shots to upload first on You-tube and then I will share the live links here for all to see themselves as it goes. My video's cut out at times because I suspect my battery was not fully charged, but you can see yourselfs just the same.
I absolutely want to thank everyone for being there and for our crew in Chalk for their warm hospitality. Seeing a bunch of old friends like that is worth every sore muscles the next day.

JUST keep coming back to this post to see 20 more video's. I will load them in due time, so keep watching over the next week or so.

TURN OFF YOUR AUTO_PLAY and hit REPLAY to see over and over if you want.

Now we turn onto the Power line from hell...

At the bottom of the first obstacle, a hill we all got stuck climbing once all of the Hus-ski guys finished playing in it

Some sections on the power line was OK

Thank God this is the end of the powerline.

Now I'm following behind Randy for a while to make sure he is not getting into stopping trouble (brake disc broken)

OK Troops.

I have come up with some issues with my video's, being too short with most of them 30 seconds on average. So. I am working on putting every bits together into one long video movie. So Stand-by. (I have 16 more to come all the way to our last pit stop on the trail before returning to camp from that afternoon ride)

This was one of the best rides yet. More than thirty machines showed up and most made it back from the morning ride. The numbers were lower for the afternoon ride , but enthusiasm was up. Thanks again Pooper(Kevin), Mary-kay , Larry and family and everyone else for a monster effort with all the preparation and food. Here are a few photos.

Hi Guys
Here is a link to a video of the ride. Thank you Natalie Surette for the group photos, the first video of everyone leaving that location and all the individual shots. Thanks Jeannot Pilon for the video clips of everyone returning from the morning ride. And most of all, thanks Larry, Pooper Mary-Kay and I'm sure many others who pitched in with help. I hope to see some of you at ride in Constance Bay this Sunday. Keep your tracks down.

This was my first time at this event and I had a fantastic experience despite my poor 200A problems! Borrowed one of Randys Diablos for the day and rode as much as I could. Met some wonderful new friends and enjoyed the Chalk hospitality, thank you! You folks are awesome. Here are a few pics from the day. Don Hamilton
