What…we gotta pedal? Well, if you want any marmalade you do. Fromme is a no shuttle zone, didn’t ya know?

It hardly sems worth it, when you get conditions like this. Just a little bit wet out, enough to make it interesting.

Or, as Wa puts it, “this was the best day’s riding I’ve ever had on the Shore.”

I made the boys sesson this first ramp for quite a while. It’s funny, but if you can just conquer the first move, it seems like the rest of the day just falls in place. It took a while, but most of the crew stepped up and nailed it.

I think I’ll continue to quote:

“The first time you ride the North Shore is like trying smoking. It’s nasty, painful, and it’s difficult to do and look cool. But you’re going to be back for more because you’re HOOKED. “

Wee, if you get the first big move, this next one is a piece of cake, and nothing… I mean NOTHING….can ever match the moment of rolling out onto Big Smooth with no idea of the other side, but hitting it anyway.

Yeah, I already know what’s down there.

Tom doesn’t, and I don’t think he even realizes his back tire is off the rock.

Trepid?

Ooooooo….fresh trail work.

..it’s still stupid hard to get up first try. We finished way down on the rollercoaster, where we saw this teeny tiny biker riding.

And there you go. A boy and his dog….another day in the life.
