Hare and hound
A very deep rut
March 1st, 2008 — Stuck in a very deep rut and looking for help during the 2008 Bent Spoke Hare Scrambles at Herrling Island. #000
It was a trial
October 1st, 2006 — When a course is dry like the 2006 Cat Scratch Fever it should be fast but not this section where only trials bikes had it easy.
Wheelie
June 13th, 2004 — This hill was tough with riders first having no traction and then too much. Having to dodge a photographer on the way up didn’t help either. 55th annual Piston Run cross country at Chipmunk Creek.
Horns
October 1st, 2006 — Lucky for this rider the 2006 Cat Scratch Fever near Squamish wasn’t held in deer hunting season.
I have choices?

The highway
March 7th, 2009 — This stretch of the Bent Spoke Hare Scramble at Herrling Island in known as the highway and for expert riders it was, kind of, but not for everyone else.
So near yet so far away

Very deep rut
March 16th, 2003 — The Quick Shift Hare Scramble at Herrling Island in a notorious mud bath. In 2003 there was no sure line for the slow or tentative. Full throttle, down the middle, eyes closed, worked as well as riding along the edges.
Traction
June 17th, 2007 — Riding through muddy ruts and over wet roots doesn’t provide much in the way of traction for a motorcycle. Fallen bikes, however, have lots of traction as this rider found out at the 2007 Piston Run Hare Scramble.
