Do you think we’ll need a chainsaw? Nahhh, leave it at the bottom…
Oops.
Well, it’s only an extra 40 minutes of driving to go get it. What have we learned, Dorothy?
John gets excited when he sees big wood. There were some random tourists watching this scenario unfold, too. Good times.
Oh right. The May Long Weekend. Fresh snow, should have brought the boards.
I P’d a frog…
I didn’t run the first lap down the Cawston side. It was Barb’s turn, so I drove. I got to ride lap 2 on TKO. Unfortunately, winter was hard this year (contrary to what you hear on the news). Lots of trees down, and lots of snow. We had to hike down a considerable distance.
At least the lower part was in prime shape.
This zone is super sketchy when it’s dry, so a bit of moisture made it ultra tacky.
As usual, I get the best shots of French Jonny.
We ran into some of the Penticton locals on the 1st lap, and Kurt jumped in for lap 2 with us, showing us how to do it on light gear. Then again, I was on my Altitude so I guess that made for two of us idjits running big mountains on little bikes.
Smile!
Even with lots of snow and downed trees, that ride is still one of the best. And spring storms make for epic light.
