The end of Summer, the last few weeks are always the bussiest

Josh and Olivia are back from all the camps and only one cast came home this time. The Quad is finished, action photos to follow. Kayaking and day trips finished off the plans then Irene smashed through and canceled the first day of school. Not a good omen for the start of the school year.

Josh is working at camp being a kid rancher again.. He basicaly spends his time getting them to the watering hole, the feeding grounds and chasing down strays. Liv is  dancing at her summer dance camp for  4 weeks after which she will get her own rancher for a few weeks . In the mean time the councelor is councelinig at her normal furious rate and my IT job isnt giving me any breaks. Doesn't leave much time to go do stupid things on the bike!

On the up side a freind gave us an old  Hong Kong Fuee brand Quad that I am fixing and Josh is pimping out like a storm trooper.  Some glass work has gone into fixing the pastic and the last coat of satin black went on tonight. The kid definately has an eye for what things will look liek in the end.

The Roaming Rall 2011  I should have rode a kayak!

The Roaming Rally in Ottawa was the best rally I have ever riden in.  I made some new freinds and got to ride with some old friends, all while honing my skills in not drowning. The rain that has plagued the mid west did not miss Ontario. There was a great deal of water every where on the 500 mile course and a lot of bikes were drowned or otherwise pummeled by the difficult terrain.  I will try to get a good ride report into the archives soon  but for now you can view some of these videos others in the ride posed by following the links below
