Note: There is a weather advisory for Southern Alberta overnight and on Saturday. -15 to -18 temperatures forecast, with heavy 5 to 10 cm of new snowfall expected or Calgary and surrounding area.

This will change conditions of course. After the previous warm weather you can expect icy conditions with fresh powder on top. It will naturally make the run much more challenging.

It will be even more important that you have additional warm clothes and those things specified in the requirements (top post in this thread) for this run.

I will not be able to make this run. Work has interfered yet again.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Update. I was in Calgary today at Modern Motors. The highway back to Red Neck Deer was utter chaos - accidents within sight of other accidents on both sides and both sides stopped for 10-15 miles  in spots between Carstairs and Bowden. I fully expect at this hour the QE2 is closed. They've updated Calgary to 25cm expected.

We will review through the evening and early morning. Waiparous doesn't concern me - getting there 2 hours in one piece does, never mind it being driven mostly in the dark.

RedDog, that is quite a trip so we will understand totally if you can't make it in. There will be lots more open runs.

Just don't take the QE2. The trunk road is fun in the snow, and the area that we wheel in Waiparous is only 40 km south of Mountain Aire lodge on the trunk road.

With the forecasted temperatures of -15 to -18 (windchill will feel like -23 to -25) any trail side mechanical repairs and popped beads will be alot more difficult to deal with...  Not to be a downer on your run - just something to consider.  Back in the day the old CJA used -5 as an acceptable temperature for a run.

I am making a quick stop at the Timmy's at MacLeod and Glenmore (right in behind the Esso) for 7:30, if anyone is interested.

No, buy your own coffee.

Thanks and yes we're out. It's gotten just as goofy here coming down like gang busters when we were to be on the northern fringe of the system. The trails would be a hoot but as I indicated last night - we have to get there first.

Next time.

Suggestions:

Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.
Try fewer keywords.


That's what I get.  >:(
