Seymour Super D

Greetings, race fans, and welcome to the first ever Seymour Super D. If you don’t know what a Super D is, well…you start at hte top and end at the bottom, but there’s usually a good climb or two, plus some flat sections, and the length is somwhat more involved than a typical DH race. Like 10x longer….

For this versioon, it was a team event, with teams of 2 or 4 competing for glory, cheesy prizes, and beer.

Check the scene at the start.

“Going my way…?”

Meh, they’re all married anyway.

Unlike these smelly ole’ dogs. Team Shuttlewhore shows off their new uni’s.

A whore about to finish the descent.

Have a look HERE for an amusing clip of the race action.

…and we finish off with a look at the….finish.

KVR Trip — Day 4

The last day. See ya man!

As always, the last day is a little sprint around Otter Lake. Now you guys can get back to school so you can do more algebra or whatever it is that youmiss so much there.

At least they have figured out how to ride as a group to make things easier.

Well… some of them did.

Why you don’t want to be last guy out there.

Almost done, Z.

The bridge too far…

After we sent the boys off, the guides all headedup the road the other way to suss out next year’s route. We want to change it up a bit to make it more interesting.

Here’s my only wildlife shot of the week. I saw lots of bears, eagles, ospreys, vultures, and lizards, but I’m just too slow on the draw these days. Age I guess…

It’s an amazing valley for scenery. There’s a ton of barns out here.

KVR Trip — Day 3

I guess I didn’t mentionthat the guys got super choked at me yesterday. I had to tack on a couple of extra clicks to the ride because of a construction project out on Thirsk Lake. It was only about 3 k, but man they were upset. Oh well.

To make today more intersting, we set up a little relay race on this mini track just outside of Coalmont. First place got a nice ice cold six pack. Of Coke.

Here’s David coming in for the transfer.

..and the winner is…

Here’s a LINK to a vid of the action. Like it really matters. This is all that’s important to you at 15 years old.

Oh, and of course it snowed and rained a bit today. Here we are at the Otter Lake camp where we met up with Mitch, Lindsey, and the other group.
