BMW R1200 GS Bike Set up for adventure MTB
Great adventure yesterday on the BMW and my single speed companion... As usual I decided last minute to take a day off from work and venture on the roads for a trip to BC-Golden (260kms from home) to pre-ride the course where my next 24 hours MTB race will take place !
Yes, luckily I hooked up with Jason, Steve and few other guys and had a really cool trip.
I have been wanting to take to BMW for a longer ride and yesterday all the conditions aligned (good forecast weather, good group, banked time at work and great supporting wife !!
I left home at around 6:30am after setting up my single speed in the back of my Bemmer. Met at PetroCan at 7:00am and took off. The weather was a bit too cold on the bike, but I was dressed with plenty of layers and stayed warm.
Once in Golden, we got ready real quick and started to pedal to find the trails. Most of the trails seem quite technical, and some very rocky, it will for sure be a very interesting race !
We rode for about 2 hours and covered over 20kms.
After that, we hit the restaurant in town for breakfast and the plan was do another ride after that... but time constraints were forcing me to be back in Calgary before 6 and I decided to get back on the horse and ride back.
The ride back was again great, a bit faster and almost caught by some cops that had a photo radar just pass Lake Louise..
Once again, I am very impress with the BMW R1200 GS, it is definitely a great touring bike and with the custom bike rack I made it has for sure become my favorite bike.
