Four Twenty Minus One

Fresh bike build today. I’m still waiting for my SX wheels, so I built this one with the DeeMax’s. They make a nice contrast to the BC Green, don’tcha think?

We had a little Knolly convention today. That’s 7 of ’em right there, and the 8th was under construction in the shop for later.

Noel, the man himself, came out for a Fox Mtn session today. Unfortunately, I seem to have some kind of disaster magnet effect on him. Every time we ride….

Oh well. You can see the marks on his right knee in the pic. That night, it swelled to the size of a cantaloupe. Just an FYI for ya: air shocks and cold weather aren’t a great mix.

Gotcha…

Travel day today. I did a little riding, but nothing worth posting. It was snowing pretty hard in Pemby (it’ll be sunny soon….the Pemberton Pocket. Stupid locals, it snowed all day).

Instead, I have this pic I took of Mr Coyote on the Duffy Lake road. He looks like he could use a little spring today too.

Proper Four Twenty, That Is….

No, that’s not a trick. That really is my odometer turning over 420K. I parked the Great White last year just for this occasion.

I had some business in Vancouver this week, so I started the weekend off with Dan, Seb, Wyld Willy, and the Pemby crew. Keep in mind, this was the warmest day of the tour…

Wyld Willy even pussed out because of the cold and didn’t go the distance up to the Cariboo. At least he made it out for the weekend, and had perpetrated some shenanigans down on the Sunshine Coast.

Dan wore his best pajamas in honour of the day. He also declined to go north.

The boys made up for it with this creek gap.

I took these fisheye shots with Willy’s camera. I gotta get one of these. The guy stylin’ below is some dude named Smokey. I think he’s just trying to be like me…..
