short day trip 550ish km

went out today did the Tumbler ridge loop ,from dawson creek to tr to chetwynd to hudson hope (twisties )then fort st john and back to dawson,all my ridding buddies couldnt go and this will be my last ride this season ,insurance is out tonight . so I did what anyone of us would I went anyway by myself , was a bloody good time not as technical as some of you boys but 130km-180 and take pics on a windy day while riding ,snaped a pic at over 200km but clock glare is bad. blew a corner today scared me a bit 40km posted corner and went in to fast 120ish hit little bump while down shifting and foot came off peg ended up in other lane no traffic for miles peg is hooking on my boot heel or something when i shift ,and return to ball of foot and then went to lean on peg that wasnt were it should be it poped off (looking down into the canyon as this happened ) , heres some pics order is all screwed http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh57 ... %20Canada/

Last ride of the season is sad but I'm glad you survived it. 120 through a 40 corner is crazy fast. I would have panicked and done something dumb, like stand it up, and shot right into the canyon.

im a twot that abused his back for years and now is paying ,finally looking at surgery,three bulged discs on spinal cord ,was told no more bikes ,then I rode anyway and couldnt hold bike up when i stopped and got stuck between it and shop for 20 min another is effecting breathing and heart ,one in neck fatigue and arms losing feeling , since I have had a shot in back that took the edge off lower but wore off ,getting another on 23 sept they know there not fixing it but buys me time this is the last one i get ,My friends and my wife have all been helpful to convince me I dont have to give it up ,just not go as hard ,and the stupid gell seat insert thing I did is letting me ride more often and longer rides ,it helps that much ,the upright ridding style of the duke helps ,the light weight bike helps , hearing of sd.net travel adventures,without all of the above I would have been beat(( like a tom cat in a stove pipe done ))

Glad you are riding. I hope it gets fixed so you can keep going.
