The Dinosaur Trail is almost 19 km long, mostly flat, with two "technical stretches." I named it after the dinosaur figure, which stands in front of one of the houses. Perhaps because of the strong winds that day, the ride was attended by only seven bikers (from the left): Mike, Piotr, Grace, Voytek, Witek and (the hand of) Marian. The seventh biker was Andy who took the picture.

To celebrate Polish Constitution Day, our club organized a bike ride that attracted many attractive women (and some men) on their "sexy electric bikes." Tereska mounted her first electric bike, straight from the shop. She justifiably landed on the cover!
The Awards Gala for 2024 Photo-Competition took place on 2 February in the auditorium of Faculty St. Jean in Edmonton, thanks to the kind invitation by Witek Kurpiński. In spite of the very cold weather (-25C), the Gala attracted about 40 people interested in mountain film and photography.

Our New Year's Eve wasn't exactly a pre-dawn alpine start. We were operating on a more civilized 10 AM departure from the ACC lodge. After all, Ha Ling, while worthy challenge, wasn't Everest. We weren't expecting to summit by brunch.
Waking
up at 8:30 allowed for the usual lodge morning rituals: the mad dash for a
vacant bathroom (a small victory in itself), the kitchen scavenger hunt (where
*are* the plates this time?), and breakfast with the other intrepid
adventurers… or, well, just us. It seemed everyone else was either already
conquering some other peak or wisely choosing to sleep in.
