Tour de View

The Tour de View started at Greener's on Thursday Oct 8 @ 6:00PM. It must be late in the season because interest seems to be waning. Only four lucky riders showed up for the tour, but they were in for a real treat. We wound our way up a familiar route to the top of KC and were treated to an early fall view of the City of Rossland and the mountains glowing in the fading light. Looked like snow towards Record Ridge. From KC we opted for a full descent of Pale Ale, the rains and dew had done their thing and the trail surface was very good(little dust if any). The new section at the bottom was great and we popped out on the road at the bottom wishing for more, perhaps connecting to Milky Way, maybe some day. On up the road towards Green Door with a stop to check out the view up the river. It is very dark by now and the lights of Rivervale, Gennelle, and perhaps even Castlegar are in the view screen. Down the road to Green Door and over to the bench on Roger's to take in a view of Trail, Warfield and today's vein of gold for the area Big Daddy Tech. Too many lights at Tech was the conclusion. The trip along Roger's was challenging but rewarding and soon we were climbing through the old Cemetery (good thing it was not Halloween yet) and making our way out of Happy Valley to Kim's house for a cold one. Super tour. Thanks Kim. We also picked up our refund cheque from Holy Wow 18 so make sure you get to see Kim and pick up your cheque if you were on the trip.
