winterwheel Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Nice ride last night. I posted a picture over in the picture thread. Some of the video turned out, some did not, but there is still enough there to put something together, I'll be working on that tonight.

Edmwheel Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) It was great ride. This map shows only half of it. Edited June 5, 2021 by Edmwheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The rink is clear but it is a bit chilly and the roads are mostly dry but can be a tad slippery in spots around the neighborhood. It looks like Tuesday would be the best bet to meet up in the evening again. I'm going to head down to the rink at 10 this morning to meet Jeff. He can try it out this morning, then maybe come back on Tuesday when its nicer to try out other wheels if he still wants to move on it. So no need to come out this morning, but I'll be there if people do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 So I've just touched base with Jeff and he'd like to reschedule. It'll be either next Sunday or Tuesday night; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmkingsong Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Tuesday night sounds good supposed to be the nicest day I'm out today?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Cool. Jeff changed his mind and is going to come down today anyway as it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 We had a good session this morning; Jeff got to try out the ACM and the V8, using the walker device. He will be coming back on Tuesday at 6 to hopefully meet the rest of group and decide how he wants to move forward. He has borrowed the V8 so he can play around on it a bit until then. I told him we'll only be able to chat/demo until 6:45 at the latest and then we'll be hitting the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwheel Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) It was awesome yes, not likely to be many more good nights like that this year. Here we are at a pitstop in Nellie McLung park, just west of Scona Rd. Edited September 27, 2018 by winterwheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resinears Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Bah, I'm late to the party, and want to pull the trigger on the purchase of a wheel (after meeting you gentleman that Tuesday night, back at the rink). I've made enough progress on the borrowed wheel to know I want my own, but the timing couldn't be worse for the upcoming winter (not a surprise), and some personal commitments which will take me out of the loop for a bit. If I buy a wheel, it's going to snow for sure!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Last Sunday was a quiet one, just me working on riding backwards for the most part. @Resinears, who has been learning on my V8 for the past couple of weeks dropped by and I can report has been making excellent progress; being able to ride around without having to hold on to things now. He's found a bigger arena to play around in when the Ritchie arena is tied up, I'm interested to know more about that for next year. Next Sunday, (Canadian Thanksgiving weekend) high of 5C, pop 10%. Just sayin'. Edited October 2, 2018 by winterwheel Didn't see @Resinears' post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to ask you a question about the site you told me about when I met the group, but can't message you as a new user. Could you pm me with your contact info? Thanks a lot!

winterwheel Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Saturday evening is out for me due to Thanksgiving commitments, so it seems like we're left with Friday evening. Six? Usual spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resinears Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Sure wish I could meet you guys to wish you well on the ride and to pick your brains some more, but I'm on "clean the house for the long weekend guests" duty. Have a safe ride gentleman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thanks. It's going to be a cool one by the time we're done I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Nice ride tonight down and around Hawrelak Park, where we saw a vast flock of Canada Geese on the ground prepping to leave town for the winter. Sunday at 11am we'll be meeting up at the arena just to do a bit of skill development, which for me is continuing on my journey to learn to ride backwards. I posted a new video of our stop in at Tim Horton's a few weeks back in the video thread. Edited October 6, 2018 by winterwheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
