FRESHIE!!!

Finally…a new bike. Well one of them anyway. Thanks to Ian at Chromag I’ve got a keeper in this fine Gypsy. And thanks to Tyler it’s well equipped with SRAM, Avid, Truvativ, and Rockshox. And thanks to Richie it’s got some lovely Mavic as well.

…and of course thanks to the crew at the Cove for letting me pillage the shop while puttingit together. Soon I’ll have the superpimp ride from Cove to show off, but the frame is still in the queue for heat treatment so you’ll just have to wait for me to get that one built.

Bridle Path Time Trial

Greetings race fans, and welcome to the 1st Annual Bridle Path Time Trial, sponsored by our friends at HUKK Bikes.

Turnout was a respectable 53 riders, off which 14 were actually (gasp!) female.

Here’s prooof….

You’re a handsome devil…what’s your name?

Ready, set, aww hang on, I got something in my gums.

..and the finish line.

So, basically, I came last. Technically I beat Seth, but he’s only about 12 or so, and a few of the girls. The Lantern Rouge is it’s own kind of honour. Really.

Amber won for the ladies, and Mike Hunter (yes, that’s his real name) took the mens title.

Full results should be available here someday soon.

Trail Day — Seymour

Rebuilt quite a bit of Corkscrew and Salvation this past Sunday. A great time was had by all. Gotta hand it to Barb, she sure knows how to throw a good trail day. Kudos to Schneiders Meats, IGA, Central City Brewing, The Raven Pub, Bean Around the World, Cove Bikes, and of course…….me.

It was good to see Chaz out there working in the mud like…well like no other shop owners I’ve seen in a while.

It was a pretty gloomy day, but lots of folks came out.

Around 60 people for lunch, which was salmon, hamburgers, and hot dogs. Oh, and a bit of suds if you knew where to look.

Big rocks need many supervisors.

Big ramps need big rocks ot hold them in place.

“No no, there’s not enough flow that way. Stand back ten feet and straighten it out….”

Good to see the union boys putting in their time too.

Wildlife shot.

There ya go little fella, you’re safe now.
