Haha . This has been off for ages and Simon kept saying I don't get the muddy arse thing of mtb ers so I put it back on a few weeks ago. Not only is it butt ugly but it's twisted tried boiling water but no joy.

Did you try setting it with cold water after straightening under the hot?

Another day out to survey the damages caused by the atmospheric river. Surprisingly the trails are fairly good. But the access roads to our mountain took a beating.



Gonna need some machinery, money, and volunteers for these repairs.

Search and rescue was activated and unfortunately 3 people lost their lives in 2 different locations on this mountain. Burke Mountian.

That's more than a little bit devastating ..especially the loss of life .
Fingers crossed you get everything in place to return the landscape back to some kind of normal .
Good luck

Mmm can't remember, I tied it with string though. It doesn't bother me and I wouldn't want to lise the ugliest mudguard top slot. Could do again though

Cold and bleak looking I like a bit of shelter. Saying that I'm off to an exposed bit tomorrow.

We are a small blip on the radar compared to other regions in our area (BC). I estimate that about 2/3rds of our access to trails has been cutoff. Most trails have faired fairly well, that I’ve seen, but the main access roads (3) have acted like funnels and the water erosion was too great.

I expect some help from BC Hydro since they will need access to the higher up towers. Financial help from our provincial government will likely be slim. This has left several of our volunteer trail builders scratching our heads. “What now?”

This amount o damage could be a blessing or a curse. Time will tell. I expect that a few of the bridges that I built are destroyed. We (trail builders) are going to focus on repairs for the existing trails.

Surface water management will now become a priority …that’s the blessing.
