With a little help from our friend Cindi-Lou, we helped Barb celebrate the big 4-0. Chevy can’t wait for her turn. Jenny came up for some retro adventures. And no birthday would be complete without taking the little monkey out for some turns The cool thing about this pic is that Chev’s is dancing in[...]

I told you that I had another epic lined up. And what birthday ride would be complete without a little late night fire and beers? I don’t think our neighbours at the campsite appreciated it, but hey…it’s my birthday! I’m turning 40 and I’m still getting in trouble from old dudes about the loud music. [...]

Whoa…I’m gettin’ old. I’ll be 40 in a couple of days. So I guess I’d better get goin’ on some of these epic rides out here. I’ve done this one before, with Wade on his stag. He shoulda been on this one, but stupid Interbike and Rampage threw a wrench into that plan. Instead Kurt[...]

It’s a travel day, but the sun is out and there’s bunnies everywhere on the Shore. Not only is it a great day to ride, but it’s also Wade’s Excellent Adventure (a mystery route race on Fromme), and I’ve got a date to sell Barb’s old V-Tach. First we had to go for a test[...]

Happy birthday to me…. I don’t feel so good. Oh, and it snowed in the mountains last night. Top of Iron didn’t look so good for today. Chris looks pretty bummed about it. He says he’s got some alternatives for us though. Yeeehaaaa! Swakum Mtn is more than a good alternative. What looked like a[...]

Hey look! Wade’s here, and it’s amazing how much larger he looks in pictures. Take that, Boyko. Even the Newf gets in on the fun. We are in Merritt today, and since we’re getting crap weather we went for a little stroll to check out the jumps that the Collective built for Vanderham’s segment in[...]

Wow, it seems like just a year ago I was running off to the hospital, leaving a tour mid-ride and just generally freaking out over becoming a dad. Oh yeah…it WAS a year ago. We tried to get Chev to jump into the cake, but no dice. Sorry honey, you still have to share it[...]

Puddle virgins! Well, the boys like their skinnies, so I’d say they were in the right place. Lots of that thin wood here. There’s also lots of fast flow with gaps, but we weren’t stopping for that stuff. We cracked off 6 kaps of the Fox Mtn. trails to get things rolling. After that, we[...]

For the first time in years, I’m not doing the Greyballs birthday tour on the May long weekend. He was invited up, but without the catalyst I guess it’s just too far to the Okanagan. So Saturday I was left to my own devices. Not much to report. I went and hooked up a Powers[...]

Whattya get when you cross the end of a long night shift tending bar, a brand new Yamaha R6, a gravelly corner, and a stunned senior citizen in a Chrysler? Yo, road rash. Better go hang out at the car show. I thinkthat’s where this guy was headed. We went riding instead. Steve Mitchell tagged[...]

There are times when you probably shouldn’t click on the pictures in this blog. The shot below definitely falls into that category. Think of it as a “before” and “after”, and remember; you’ve been warned. Hey look, we went riding. There’s a new trail in Westbank by the name of “Builders Only.” Here’s Dave getting[...]

It’s Darcy’s birthday…again. Got your ticket? They seem to have their tickets. No Darcy, I don’t think it’s in the cooler. Oh wait, now he has his ticket. Look over there! It’s your birthday! Bob checks out an old rail station. This ain’t Brokeback Mtn., boys. Someone’s gonna get hurt if you keep standing so[...]

A day off the bike for me. I went out in the boat for a bit with my buddy Darcy, and his wife and kids. What a swell day on the water. Later, I ran into Killer and Durv and Hagen, and the beers came out……hey it’s BC day. It was fine all ’round. Oh[...]

I get off, on ’57 Chevys…. The bodywork was super cool on this car. All molded in, 3-d flames. The last day and we paid a visit to Keremeos. Check out this panorama and see if you can spot any promising lines. We figured one out, and got on our way. It’s a pretty epic[...]

It’s the May Long, so it’s time for some debauchery with Darcy (aka Greyballs) and the crew. We left on Thursday this time, so we could get a bit more riding in. Since it was such a nice day, we took advantage to check out a bunch of little canyons along the way. Body of[...]
