At least I had the helmet cam running. Otherwise the fall would have been wasted!

Thought I would add a few of my Cypress trip photos. I left Wednesday morning and took backroads from Yellow Creek to Clearwater Lake the first day then hooked up with the Chris's Thursday morning to carryon towards Cypress.

Going past Basin Lake north of Humboldt





I was outrunning rainshowers for part of the day


I don't usually go all out for lunch but decided to have it at the Young Golf Resort, not much of a crowd








The Riverhurst Ferry looking from the west





More Sask skies


Snakebite Canyon south of Demaine














Prairie Lake south of Beechy





Community pasture south of Beechy/Clearwater








Clearwater Lake








Road from Kyle to Whitebear

Along the river south of Eston

Alkalia, it stinks, I took a bath in it unexpectedly


Looking across the esivoir into MapleCreek


A few Cypress Hills shots









It was shortly after this that I had my getoff.
A little shower had gone through and we were riding very slowly in the mud, front wheel plugged up and skidded out and my leg was laying crossways across a rut and the pannier fell across it just the wrong way causing the break. Just badass set of circumstances. I do really need to sit back and decide where I ride though as this will be two summers in a row that I will be layed up. I would like to think just isolated instances but the day before I saw two fellows go down that could have been a lot worse than it was and I do recall the fellow that was layed up all last summer with an ankle injury. I was very lucky to have a couple of great folks with me at the time which sure helped out

That was an unlucky fall Snobear. I think those are questions I should ask myself as well. Get better quickly.
