Powers Creek Trail Day

It’s maintenance time again, courtesy of the MTBco and Outbound Cycle….and of course yours truly.

Awww… baby’s first trail day. There’s all my girls.

We thought be doing a trail day in the fall that we’d have great conditions to buff out the trail.

Well, maybe it’s a bit too dry. We did manage a few good things, but mostly we made piles of sand and clouds of dust.

Some much needed carpentry got done on the failing teeters at the swamp.

Some lucky gack winners. You should always stay to the end. No mail in prizes here.

Oh, and some new work got opened near the bottom. Justin’s creation finally is finished, and it’s a good’un. Schnepf styled it out for the camera (note that he did NOT dig today. He’s sort of A.D.D., we’ll let it go this time).

Really?

Really….I didn’t drink ’em.

Remember last week when I stole the boys beer?

I’m sort of full of brews these days, and never got around to killing this sixpack.

Looks to me like someone else is thirsty for a different kind of beverage…

Say ‘hi’ to Jessamy Tippie. We’re multiplying like rabbits out here.

Fel Ci Efo Dau Gynffon – Day 13

The Dreaded Thirteenth Day.

Ahhh, but 13 is a lucky number to the Welsh.

So…Holly would be the only soul brave enough to try out the Whistler classics like A River Runs Through It.

The rest of them were too scared, and went downhilling in the bike park. How odd….

I guess they were put off by some of hte locals referring to it as “A Gorby Walks Through It.”

Hey Darth.

Wouldn’t want to look….silly or anything.

Don’t see any walking here anyway.

Ahhh, with weather like this it doesn’t matter. It’s a good time for all.

I had to get out for a couple of park laps myself. This tour is winding down, and I’m running on empty.

Yes…. feel the power of the Dark Side.

A freerider is born.

No time to be maudlin, but this was one of the most epic trips we’ve done. I’m totally spent, completely empty. Nothing left but to have a good night out on the town, run the kids back to the airport, and send it on the drive home.

God love a Welshman…..
