A few weeks ago, Kyle, Bryce, Steve, Kyle Duran and I made our way out to Baseline Mountain for the 3rd annual poker rally. Baseline is south-west of Rocky Mountain House and pretty much in the middle of nowhere but there is a very dedicated crew of mountain bikers that have done an amazing job of trail building. We rolled in on Friday night after work, a few hours after a massive hailstorm had dropped about 10 cm of hail and dropped the temperature by about 15 degrees. The creeks were swollen and roads were wet but it didn't dampen anyone's spirits. People were camped all along the road so it was an easy drive over to the sign in on Saturday morning. We got ourselves registered, and armed with beef jerky and iced coffee, hit the shuttle road for our first lap.
