WhistGnar Trip – Day 1

Posted on by Smoke

Took a bunch of the locals that met through the club to Whistler for the weekend. first off, it was time to set a new record for throwing money into the van….

Our Kelowna vibe was immediately identifiable on arrival. Here’s Jack and some of the Venture Gear guys wowing a crowd of Euro Trash with their amazing bike unloading skills.

No pics of riding in Whistler. It’s just too hard to stop when you could be getting another lap in.

Jack in his finest Fat Bald Men shirt, is ready for an evening of adventure in the village.

Lance took advantage of an absence of a Maitre’D to work his magical reservation skills. “Sir will enjoy table 9 this evening?”

We’ll get you a booster seat in a minute, Jack.

Yes, this evening ended badly. Good food, but far too much alcohol.

Ah… Whistler.

MTBco Gillard Cleanup

From MTBco.ca

The second trail cleanup day of 2008 proved to be a huge success. MTBco would like to thank every one of you who turned out to help, you guys were just awesome. Also our thanks to Eve-Lyn Wolters at RDCO for your ongoing help and support.

An awesome turnout of 35 volunteers worked on Gillard Forest Service Road on access trails to remove a huge amount of garbage. The photos speak for themselves, and MTBco would like to thank everyone who turned out to help on what turned out to be a beautiful sunny Okanagan blue-sky day. You guys rocked the bush today !

This is how we do it Central Okanagan style. We had a quick clean up of all accumulated debris from the shuttle parking lot and removal of nails from the parking area.

Start of the day, and we’re just getting into it:

Not just hard work, there was play too ! Free shuttles courtesy of Bush Pilot Biking:

Stay tuned for more clean ups in the future-come lend a hand!

Let Them Eat Cake – Day Four

Posted on by Smoke

All good things must come to pass, and wee’re finally outta cake. How ironic that I have no pics of all the cakes we consumed. I swear, there were at least two cakes a day on this event. We had our cake AND we ate it too.

Hence the title.

Alright, today was Ken’s day. He slept in pretty late this morning, and when he finally did get up, I got this wicked vibe coming off him.

Really, it should have been Sven’s day, as he bucked up and purchased the Angry Bumblebee. Yes, he got a “Smokin'” deal. Yes, he deserves it. Fly free, brave Bumble…..

Noel was managing to stay upright, except when he was on the wallrides. where you don’t want to stay upright. The streak is broken, Noel had a clean ride today.

Sven is studying the instructions. Ken isn’t worried at all.

Redneck in a burnt forest….

Hey Jeff….need any help with that flat tire? I think everyone has some advice for you….

Shot of the day. Ken lays it out on Boss Hog.

Great day. Great weekend, and the last May Two Four for us as non-parental type units.

tick…tock…..the child approacheth….
