Judy-Lynn and Chris – Day 5

Welcome to yet another day in the Okanagan.  We’re riding in Myra/Bellvue today, and it’s the first time down the Crawford Canyon trail for me in a long, long time.  Andrew and Sheila tagged along for the adventure today.

It’s sort of traditional to get lost out here.  Can you see why?

At least I can always find this spot. 

We killed a good half hour here trundling rocks.  One good thing about all the blowdown; it’s easy to find big rocks to huck these days.

Sheila, with the first of the fall colours.

Ooops, we went the wrong way.  I bet that full face helmet doesn’t seem like such a good idea at this point.

OK, so it’s not much of a wildlife shot.  Chris got stung, and from the looks of it, it was a bee.

Have I ever warned you to NOT click a pic?

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.  The next shot is safer.  Not sure about riding under that big dead tree, but at least you can click on it.

We finished up at my favourite apres ride spot on the Kelowna waterfront, the patio at the Eldorado.  Nice photobomb on the left, lady.

Judy-Lynn’s shiner is sure fading fast.  I can’t believe how quick she’s healing.  Some great appies and a nice sunset to end another great one.

Judy-Lynn and Chris – Day 4

We’ve driven around enough for a while, so it’s time to try some stuff a bit closer to home.  I forgot my camera, but Chris had his so here’s a few rare ones of me shredding the goods.  This is a new stunt on the 2.5 line up Powers.

Dave’s been hard at work.  It’s been so dry this summer that it’s all about the woodwork.  Digging just doesn’t do any good with how dusty it is right now.

Dang it, I hate it when people leave litter on the trails.

Freight Train!  I love that move…

What…no wildlife today?  I know, I can’t believe it either.  Maybe tomorrow.

Judy-Lynn and Chris – Day 3

Last day of Silverstar, and look who shows up?

Thanks to Judy-Lynn for the pic. Since she couldn’t ride, she hiked to the top of the mountain, just because she could.  Now THAT’S what I call team spirit.

Some minor mechanical problems resulted in a few minutes of downtime at the end of the day, but the mountain staff was rad enough to give us a bonus hour of riding time to end the season.  How do you all feel about that?

Yup, thought so.  Here’s the very last crew of the year at the top of the hill.  I was sort of sore after getting trashed by Lorraine (another former DH superstar chicka from around here), so I went with the rest of the old boys to an off piste trail.

There you go, the boys ending the year with a run on Stubbys
