Adam and I went out to Rocky for his Hare Scramble this weekend. A challenging race because of the mud, guck, and roots along the trail. I hear many people complained about the course because the beginning of the race was tight and people had little to no opportunity to pass others. On the way […]

Barry’s Ultra Motocross Park
by Bertha on 03. Jun, 2008 in Canada 2006
On Sunday I went with Adam to BUMP harescramble out near Busby. This 15km race was very organized with a concession stand, outhouses, and even a program! One of Adam’s co-workers came out to race as well. He has an old bike and raced in his work coveralls and managed to complete one lap before […]
Porcupine Hills for the Weekend
by Bertha on 20. May, 2008 in Canada 2006
Adam and I went out to Porcupine hills, 2 hours south of Calgary for a couple of races over the long weekend. Saturday was a Cross country(that was cancelled because of rain last weekend) and Sunday was a hare scramble. Adam placed really well in the hare scramble, just shy of the podium at 4th! The […]
Camping at Cadomin

Adam and I went camping at Cadomin Caves near Hinton last week. It was pretty great because we saw a lot of wildlife and went on good walks. Caving at Cadomin was pretty cool. The cave is not touristy and the hour and half walk to the entrance is very steep and hard. On our […]

Sunday was raceday just outside Smith, AB. Adam and I drove up 2.5hrs that morning from Edmonton and on the way there saw a fox on the side of the road. He looks scrawny but he’s got take away in his mouth. You can see it in this picture: remember to click on pics for […]
Motocross video from Fisher Creek
by Bertha on 13. Jun, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures
Here’s a video I shot over the weekend of Adam’s race. The first is the starting line. Adam is about the 2nd from the right. Everyone’s engines are off, straddles their front tire facing backward on the bike. Once the horn sounds, they must rush around, start their bike and go! Some have electric (push […]
Sharples Motocross Race

This past weekend I went to watch Adam at the first Hare Scramble(through the trees) race of the season near Pincher Creek. We spent Saturday at the WildRose Motocross Association’s Blackfoot Motorcycle Park so he could practice and adjust his settings. Sunday we drove 2 more hours south to the Sharples Race. It was fun […]
Adam’s Expecting!

Adam’s going to be a father soon. He bought a Basset Hound puppy! I went with him to see the mama and the babies and he picked out a tricolour female. The Pet Expo was this weekend. Adam and I were surprised when we saw a black bear and Betty the Grizzly Bear there. Many […]
Operation Christmas Child
by Bertha on 03. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006
Every year for the past 5 or so years (except for last year) I’ve been creating shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. National Collection week for Canada is Nov. 13-18! For those who don’t know, anyone can pack a present to be delivered to a needy child overseas. You pick up shoeboxes(or use your own shoebox) […]
Canadian Finals Rodeo
by Bertha on 02. Nov, 2006 in Canada 2006
The Canadian Finals Rodeo is this weekend and unfortunately I booked myself into a scrapbooking retreat for the same weekend. I’ve never been to the finals but they are selling tickets for $10.00 so had I not been prebooked, I would be going. It’s cheaper than a movie! If you find the finals boring, you […]
