You know, you get Barb out on the bike and all she wants to do is work. Poor guy, broke his arm pretty bad. At least he’s in good hands. I think I counted 6 1st Aid professionals in attendance at one point.

This one’s for Sheffy, who has a hell of a time with this quad teeter totter maneuver on LTG. Barb of course nailed it easily…

…and a shot of my honey on a nice stepup. Big thanks to the grandparents for watching Chevy all day so we could rip up the ‘Star together. Barb may have taken most of the year off of riding, but you wouldn’t know it if you were following her. She’s still a force out there.

Romo, Super T, Schnepf, Willows, Eamonn, Hansen, Tippie, what’s going on? Oh, NSMB.com is choosing their new team rider. Get this traffic outta my way, I’ve only get few hours to get laps in at Silverstar before I have to babysit. Barb went back to work this weekend (everyone say, “Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!”).

I also ran into our pal Gustav from the Puddle. I hear that all the wallrides up there are left handers.

Which explains this.

Look deep inside the mind of Brett Tippie…

Do I hear crickets?
Anyway, the Airprentice didn’t wrap before I had to head out. They were down to four at this point, and Cam was obviously highly conflicted about the choice to be made…

Highway finally re-opened. They’re still mopping up the fire and putting out hot spots, but life is returning to normal.

Still too hot to ride.

Highways are closed, the power is off, the world is on fire (well, locally anyway). Besides, it’s just too hot to ride bikes. I’m gong to the beach with the family.
Hmmmm, it always seems to be a certain time in Summerland. Time for some of you to move there I guess…

Today’s wildlife shot, another osprey.

Chevy enjoying the lake…

..her dog…

..and her Daddy.
