Had a chance to hook up with the guys at Surly Bikes for a quick rip in the Okanagan this week. Looks like those big tires are good for more than just snow…
It’s pretty flat back in the Mid-West where they’re from, so I think Smith Creek may have been a bit of an eye-opener for the boys.
Good thing they have such a beast of a climber in Ramin Sherkat of NRG distributing their bikes in Canada.
Sweet little ride, and thanks a bunch for the beers and food after.
Yay…summer! Sorry about your derailleur…
That thing was toasted. Every part broken, and even a bit of shrapnel left on the trail. Ah well, Dave. It’s good for the economy.
I spent a lot of today building a new line out in the Mice, which led into some old lines. Looks like we’ve got another top to bottom route laid out. And it’s flowy enough that you can run it without a chain.
Nice clouds for a summer day.
Not much of a sunset, either.
Doesn’t matter if it’s raining though. You can always tell summer in Penticton by the cars on the beach.
Youth ride #2, and let’s just take this moment to remind you that if you want to come on the ride, you kind of need to be on time….Josh.
You didn’t miss much. That drop isn’t that big, it’s just that Sheldon is that short.
Even old guys are in on the action.
Although it looks like we spend the entire time dropping and jumping, there’s actually a lot of trail and even climbing involved with Tuesdays. Sort of boring to look at though.
So we’ll just get back to jumping.
More of this action this coming Tuesday. Don’t be late.
