a waiting game.

My sled is all ready to rock. I repaired all issues I had from the out West trip. I'm all adjusted for sea-level and would like to get a little test ride in early this week to make sure all systems are go.

The BCR Crew has been trying to come up with a date for the next U.P trip. Speaking of the U.P... they've been getting hammered with snow. Last week - John Dee reported 45 inches of fresh snowfall. It seems like lake-effect has been pretty much the only thing going on in the Midwest. I hope we can get a nice storm in Wisconsin soon.

BCR "Westbound and Down" Video

I threw together a quick video from our trip taken entirely with my new camera I got for graduation (thanks Mom). I did it in just a few hours as a mid-season video to plug for our end-of-year film.

Hope it is enjoyed!

The Snowies

WyColo Lodge treated the BCR Crew well. We all learned a lot about our sleds and ourselves as riders. I got into deeper and steeper territory than i've ever seen in the Midwest. I blew a bearing on my sled's drive-train Wednesday and was done for the week. I wound up renting a M1000 153" on Thursday, which was an awesome experience. I was very impressed with how my Cat did in the deep snow. It ran really well overall in the high elevation. We wound up riding at heights ranging from 8900 to 10200 feet. I'm still very tired from the drive, so i'm going to keep the text down and the pics up.

Pre-trip Tweaks

I've been putting some hours (whenever I can) into the sled getting it ready for the trip. We leave on Sunday already! I have some carb settings to fix and test... and then put in the high-elevation parts I will need for next week. As I'm writing this we are under a winter storm warning... we're supposed to get another half foot by tomorrow morning! I will have lots of seat-time on the new Cat over the next two weeks... and I can't wait!
