Let Them Eat Cake – Day 1

Posted on May 16, 2008 by Smoke

Yes, the theme of this years May Two Four long weekend would have to be cake. Don’t ask me why, it just was.

Things started early on Friday, with the arrival of the crew from the Collective and our pal Radek from Pinkbike.

Most of these guys haven’t ridden up here yet, and they got a supremem day for it. Winter is finally over.

Radek goes big. Or Radek IS big. Take your pick.

Here’s some fun with macro. Yes, and action shot on macro. It actually worked.

This one didn’t. As Dan Barham tells me, push the ISO as afar as it will go, make it black and white, and call it art.

Big Radek again.

..and one of the Collective minions showing him up. Sorry, I totally spaced your name. It was a LONG weekend.

The price Radek paid for his “going bigness.”

We crammed a couple of good runs in before sundown. It was awesome with allthe heat and flowers and goodness out there.

We finished off with the Kelowna premiere of Seasons, and the assembled crowd loved every second. It would be after midnite before I returned home, and I wondered what I might find there….

More Trail Work

The snow keeps melting, and Justin keeps cutting. This winter just keeps on giving.

The bears don’t seem to mind. Here’s a black bear track, but we’re reasonably sure that we’ve seen a grizzly cub running around.

Powers Creek Clean Up Day

Posted on May 11, 2008 by Smoke

Something I’ve wanted to do for a while is clean up the crap that all the rednecks leave behind after the winter at the trail head. Which is xactly what we got up to here. Well, Rich doesn’t look quite like he’s gotten up yet, but you know what I mean…..

Dave got a new microwave.

I like this one. “Environmentally friendly lawn care…” Like you couldn’t dispose of it in like fashion. You know, if you’re gonna have a grow-op, no-one is going to catch you by hanging out at the dump. They figured it out when you bought all that fertilizer at the local head shop.
