Title: Wheeling the 23rd?
Post by: Black Cheep on June 18, 2013, 02:49:29 PM
Just wondering if anyone is up for a ride on the 23rd?  Just looking to get out, so whatever the crowd dictates, mild to wild.

Of course this happens.  Asked last time and couldn't get anyone, this time the phone rings and I am leaving Friday for 2 weeks up north.  Sorry guys, I will have to try and catch up with you when I get back.  Looks like it will be a good run.  Have fun and talk to you later.

I would think that this weekend is probably not the time to go wheeling anywhere near Calgary. Even getting to the areas that we normally wheel will be a big challenge right now.

With the trails in southern Alberta saturated and the flash floods please postpone your plans. Better to be safe and also it’s not  good for the trail system to be on them when this wet.

I don't think anyone is really stupid enough to go out there right now. Someone posted a video at elbow falls and the railings were being pelted by the falls.

I am not planning on going out, nor is my buddy. All the highways in the area are closed, no need to be out if it's not required.

Just a heads up the road to McLean IS OPEN. The closure is just after the McLean turn off as there is a bridge out. Talked to srd last night and again this morning, the campground is closed due to flooding and no power.

Still not a good idea. Emergency workers are busy enough without having to deal with more traffic and/or rescuing people who don't need to be out.

I heard the gates were closed yesterday afternoon..? Do you mean 22x is open or the mclean trail gate is open?

My wife and I went for drive today and the South gate into Maclean is closed. Water is still flowing over hiway 22 by Millarville, they are letting traffic through.
