I had a couple of hours to kill today, so I managed to get a quick lap in on Seymour. It’s been two years since I lived on the Shore, but like they say…the more things change the more they stay the same. For instance, Mark is still trying to finish the wall ride on[...]

This is a very short story. And somewhat sad. I was through town and had a short time to get a ride in on Seymour, so I pedaled up to the halfway mark where there’s still a little bit of snow. That was the long part of the story. About 200’ down from here, I[...]

Back to the old ‘hood for a visit, and who do I run into right away? Yep, some of the old hoods. Dan, Chaz, the Steves, and Kristian. Oh, and the streak is still alive. Once again, I rode a new trail on Seymour. I could tell you where it is, but then I’d have[...]

Ok, it’s time to get outta here. But not before we say “howdy, y’all!” to Wyld Willy. I had a quick visit and got all styled out with some fresh Spectrum Techwear goodies. As it was raining, we made the call to hit the Shore on the way home. My first ride there in about[...]

Each day better than the last, eh? You can’t NOT go to the Shore, so here we are…. After Pemby and Squampton, the Shore is EASY. As always, Dan is along for the ride, and making us all look like chumps. Well, not quite all of us. Richard (or is that Dave?) was charging lots[...]

Well, the Wade Tour might be over, but I’m still in North Van. Looks like I’ve got a “local” tour to do, just for old time sake. Ian was in town for some Nokia related conference, and we managed to hook up a couple of laps on Seymour. Yup, that’s Seymour alright. Not only did[...]

No visit to the Shore would be complete without a ride on Fromme. Besides, the boys haven’t much of a chance to prove their worthiness yet. Proven… We hit up the usual, Upper OilCan, Sideshow/Air Supply, Espresso, Lower Crippler lap. Some stuff was pretty slick today, but the amount of work done on Fromme this[...]

Seems like some DirtClowns have shown up on the shore. Well, they actually showed up in Whistler, and due to crap amounts of traffic I was late getting there so we had a bit of a late start. Good thing the sun doesn’t go down until 9PM these days…. Traditional first lap of Seymour to[...]

This is it…that end of the road for another year. Let’s take a moment to reflect whilst driving down a lonely road on a grey summer morning….. Photo:Tony Doyle Awwww, hell with that. Let’s go bang a lap on Seymour. Photo:Tony Doyle Not much has changed up here. It’s a bit rougher than the first[...]

Had to go back to Vangroovy for the NSMBA Trail Day we were sponsoring, and I was smart enough to bring my bike in for a quick ride. I happened to run into the same group of guys in a few spots onthe way down, so I snapped a few shots. As luck would have[...]

As if I’d never come back…. Actually, I ended up riding Seymour again on April 1st, but I had to drive all the way from Summerland to do it. Just a tourist now. I couldn’t do my last loc’s ride with my usual riding buddy, as Wade is in Nepal right now. I’m never at[...]

Just a little volunteer afternoon with the Windsor Bike Team. It seems their regular coach (our good friend Diana Kilby) has come down with a case of torn ACL, so I’m filling in on coaching duties for a bit. Not much to do really, just going for a ride. Here’s the hooligans now. Nobody really[...]

RUNNNN! Oh shit…..it’s a bunch of damn hicks in my driveway. Oh well, it’s a gorgeous day and I’ve gotta start getting the hang of this camera. We went for some adventure riding on Seymour. Sorta like this new powerXClightfreeridecross category that’s the “Next Big Thing” in biking. Whatever, we went riding. Huckstering. Very nice[...]

On familiar ground again. Yup, back to Seymour. Gotta love the home turf. I think Stefan likes it too. The weather was still cool, but much drier than yesterday, to the point where we could ride skinny stuff. Rob J. got all twisty on us. Ralph likes the airtime. Wicked misty out, makes for classic[...]
