    Sounds about right for BFH. I was out there Easter and got through, but some of the branches are big enough to chainsaw!

    The Great 2024 Calabogie Cleanup

    A group of us checked out M&M, Forbidden Planet, Lost 'n Found, and Perch Lake. M&M in good shape but could have face slappers taken care of. Forbidden Planet is rideable as is Lost 'n Found. We rode Little Green Road and out the Triple Tower Line; had to ride over a beaver dam that was too deep...

    The Great 2024 Calabogie Cleanup

    Great work! Thanks! FYI: I call the section from Bompass to Snake Head "Son of a Gun" (Kevin came up with the name). Then the section from SOG to Little Depot (Bartaw) is McGone (and I think of the hill climb as McGone Climb).

    Hanging up my boots after 54 years in the Dirt

    Heal quick Gord! Undoubtedly a hard decision to make, but I've known a couple of busted up bikers who probably should have made the same decision. Next year will mark 58 years since I slung a leg over a bike. I've taken it down a notch every decade or so since turning 40 and I'm going to have...
