Yeah Team Knolly. A surprise visit from my old pal Margus and my new pal Ryan Berrecloth. They needed some shots, and I’ve been telling Margus for a while that he needs shots of the Okanagan. Ryan I’ve never met, but he’s one solid dude. Literally and figuratively…
Well, it’s getting a bit late in the season, but I figured I could find something for the boys. But first I had to hurt ‘em a bit. Not on purpose, just because I’ve been sitting around a lot lately.
Something like 30km, and a good 6000’ of vertical drop today. Oh, and some seriously yellow larch trees.
Here’s a view of the route, sort of. We did the blue line. The yellow-y stuff is a doubletrack that can be used to access from the bottom. We drove way around, and hiked up a firebreak for 2 km. Sort of gnarly, but I found another section above the Derenzy FSR that will be focus of another mission.
Back to the red, yellow, and green.
Maybe not the greatest light, but a fine, fine ride.
Margus, working hard.
..and again. Of course, with a setting like this a photographer shouldn’t have to work that hard.
Right? Oh, I almost forgot that Travis K. came out today too. He got to be FlashMan.
Well, maybe not the results I we could have wished for, and a late start meant that we missed the best light, but a great ride. Tomorrow afternoon looks good, maybe we’ll make up for it then.
