Not a lot to tell you today. I’m still waiting for pics to put up. C’mon Donny, ya slacker. Develop that roll.
Rode a bunch of ‘secret’ trails this morning. Got out there at 7 am, finished by 10:30. Two full runs.
Five guys from So-Cal are coming in this afternoos. We’re going to hit up a couple of shorties on Cypress, then bar-b-que it up at the lookout while the fireworks go off.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll have some pics for ya..
Third day was an epic. We got up early (like 5 am) so we could get to Kamloops in plenty of time to ride. Donny raved about the scenery the whole way.
“Sweet Gand-a-moly!”
Met up with P-Dub and the German at Full Boar for some laps of Rose Hill. Dub seemed to have a few problems with it.
Here’s the results…
This is where he did it.
ONe of the favourites of the day was the wall ride.
That seemed to get everyone on track for the first time of the trip. Then we went to the clay cliffs for a little reality check. Yes Donny, that’s the only way down.
There will be a bunch of video of this on FreeRideSouth in the next week or so. Keep checking their video page.
After three runs there we went to Harper Mountain for another run. It’s way more of the same stuff, without all the ruts.
Here’s Barb styling a high skinny.
…and on another.
Too bad we didn’t get any shots of the dust in there. I couldn’t even see my hands at one point.
Then we loaded up for the epic drive to Whistler. It was 40 degrees in Cache Creek when we went through. That’s about 105 for you ‘Mer-Cans. Finally got to Whistler at around midnite, and got some sleep in preparation for the big day ahead…..
Day 2 of the Florida Crew was Arawana.
A bit of a slower start today. Big breakfast and a 10:00 rollout. We drove out the other side of the lake to Naramata to hit the Arawana trails.
Ho hum, lots of skinnies and lots of air. It’s killer.
Here’s Donny about to turtle the landing. I still can’t figure out how he landed on his head from here.
This is the ramp that you see from the landing of Donny’s bail.
…and here’s Demolition Dave rippin’ the steeps on the lower sections.
These are a couple of shots from last year, but what the hell.
Barb hucking it out.
Me and Barb ripping some of the epic singletrack of the Okanagan.
For lap two we did the second half of the trail while Gary and Donny took a break on the beach. On the way back down we ran into Chuck at FreeRideTours. Pretty funny to see all those extended vans on that road.
Anyway, beers on the beach and steaks on the bar-b-que. Killer day once again.
