Another day off in the ‘Koots, and I got a random driving gig for a father and son team from Spokane. I didn’t ride, just drove, but did manage to snap one shot of the old man dropping in on Upper Sitkum.

Powerslave Pre-Ride
A little conditions check was in order for Powerslave if we were going to be taking a ladies group down it later in the week, so we hooked up with Galena from Cat Sass to get her take on the ride.
Of course, this led to many more joining in, so it was much more like a Sacred group ride. Fun!
As always, the trail is fantastic. Maya is admittedly not your average lady on a bike (she’s a legit Kootenay legend), and here she easily negotiates one of the ramps in the old growth.
Mootchell on the same.
…and Simon finishes up in full race mode.
You weren’t ‘chasing’ anything, were ya Simon?
(Inside joke, yo. Ya had to be there…)
Slocan Style
Today truly is a day off. I’m kinda tired. Good thing Oso Negro has the lockdown on the killer brew to help a tired rider out. And also, the always fabulous Ann to help me with my fix (pictured here with our homie, Kurt).
Our plan today is simple. Beer and inflatables. Along with the aforementioned Kurt, Pete and Steve also came along to help filter beer into the river.
The float is about perfect. Just exciting enough to encourage some friendly rock throwing.
That was a bit of work though, so we just settled down into floating and chilling out.
My best day of the summer…
