Ontario Rides
Another ODSC ride, the first of the 2001 season
for me, was in Oakville on a rainy Saturday - April 21st. Turns out
the rain didn't matter because the river was so deep we got soaked crossing
it numerous times. Bruno (XT225), John Hubbard and his track-racing
buddy, Ravu, (on his second off-road ride), both on 650 KLRs, turned out
for the ride.

A new ODSC member, Luis, offerred to show us some private trails on
Sunday April 22. There was a mixture of fast open trail, twisty single-track,
railway tracks, and jumps. Not many Kms but enough track for
a few hours of fun, and it was in Mississauga! Bob
(DR350), Steven (DRZ400), Sam (DR360), Roger (DR650) and Luis (XR200) together
with Luis' son and friends rode. April 29th was Lynn Valley's
Beagle Bash Enduro and Trail ride at Turkey Point. There was a good
turnout of ODSC riders, including Ken and Steve from Oakville on their
brand new DRZ400S's.

Eight ODSC riders showed up at Ganaraska on Sunday May 6.
It was a tough day for some - Sam punched a hole in his "new" XR250 after
a dramatic downhill endo on the big sandhill, his bike landing on the only
rock in Ganaraska. Red Green (a.k.a. Bart) showed us how to convert a Coke
can, electrical tape, 2 rubber bands and 4 zip ties (what, no duct tape?!)
into an effective oil seal. Luis hit a tree and broke his gear
shifter and a finger - ouch!. Gary's Kawi quit, fortunately it was only
a fouled plug - much to Bart's disapointment as he was ready to do a complete
carb re-build! Near the end of the ride Bart demonstrated the raw
power of his YZ426 by stripping the teeth off his gearbox sprocket while
wheelie-ing for the camera!
