This is actually from last year, but I held off on putting it together until the Ride Guide got their stuff to air. By then it was summer and I was busy, and so here you go, just in time for winter. There’ll be some more from 2010 in a while, but maybe not quite[...]

A day off the bikes with the family today. I was going to try to suck you into believing that I’d gotten a ton of rad wildlife shots randomly, but I don’t feel like getting that tricksy right now. It’s a wildlife park, they’re all in cages. They do let them out sometimes. The eagles[...]

Nothing to see here people, move along… Actually, we hung out, rode bikes, ate hot dogs, and just generally enjoyed ourselves. See you tomorrow.
Yo Steve! Happy birthday, yo. Lets ride your turf, see what’s what… Well, the bottom couple of trails are nice, but hard to follow. You cut trails with a weed whacker out here. It’s the upper trails that are the gnarly ones. See, Steve just moved into 50 acres at the bottom of Greenstone, so[...]

Good morning princess, how was camping? Yeah, he’s not exactly a morning person. Well, laugh while you can there, Deano. The bike gods have something else in store for you today. Dammit! Where’d she get the shoes? Oh, pancakes….you’re off the hook then. Well meaning, but mostly illiterate. Holy Hairy Woodpeckers! Yup, we climbed all[...]

Are you guys tired yet? OK then. A little rest and you’re good to go. Damn, that’s a fine looking jersey. In case you’re new here, what you’re looking at is the incredibly funtastic Harper Mtn., whicyh is probably my favourite all round riding locale. It’s got it all: drops, skinnies, smooth singletrack, steeps, and[...]

If you’re really gonna go Full Boar, make sure you do it right. Like by staying up late comparing tattoos by the fire. This fine example would be a carp. I of course have no tattoos, but I appreciate that one nonetheless. Els continued to regale the crowd with her invisible bongo technique. The view[...]

Uh huh…… Like I’m gonna waste a day I could be riding Harper doing another trail that I’m going to ride on Sunday anyway. Some NV locs showed up late last night to join in the late season festivities. Actually, I wasn’t sure where everyone got too until we found out that Sven got lost[...]

Well, Ryan is still here and it’s the 10 year Full Boar Challenge so we decided to head up to the ‘Loops a bit earlyto do the whole experience right. We got to town just in time for sunset at the Ranch. Yeah, so I Photoshopped the colours. I know….but they never turn out like[...]

Well, we gotta go home today, but as usual we’re in no hurry. Check this next pic for about 20 reasons why. Just too much to do in that town. We had a late breakfast n the Puddle (mmmmmmm, Gecko Ttree). When look who we ran into? Yup, Mr. Bjorn “GET IT OFF!” Enga. You’re[...]

Well here we are, on the last ful day of the tour. You’d think by now Wade would have figured out how to put up a tent. Of course, you’d also think he’d know how to ride a log, too. Harper Mtn., still my favourite riding spot of all time. So much flow and variety[...]

For sale: One (1) Sleeping Bag — Slightly Used Ummmm, I guess you kind of had to be there. At any rate, Steve departed thet trip early this morning, and left us that little memento of his stay. I guess he got all he wanted outta the trip. Too bad for him, as we went[...]

Since we didn’t really get into Kamloops until late, I give you this shot of the campfire at Harper. Sweet accommodations again, right n the middle of hte trail. In fact, our breakfast was interrupted by several riders cruising through our kitchen. It was going to be a hot and dusty one, as evidenced by[...]

Another day, another mountain to climb. This time it’s Harper, and it’s a solid climb. At least the vbiews are the usual stellar quality. Again, but in colour this time. Harper is a really cool place to ride, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a free dogger or an xc purist. There’s something there for[...]
