Yet Another Epic Sunset Session

In case you’re wondering…the answer is "No, I don’t get bored of doing this."

Shredding awesome singletrack at sunset just never gets old.

Neither does this awesome hip at the bottom.

That last one of Jens is pretty sick for a guy that just started riding last year. 

We’ll do this again sometime this week.

Carbon Carnage

Another Thursday, another hammerfest in the Mice.  Dave, you’re facing the wrong way…

Oops. Yes, that’s a carbon rim.  Karl’s carbon rim to be exact.  May it rest in pieces.

So, there may or may not have been some shenanigans that led to this.  I was in front, and there’s a particular corner on Eagle that I’ve missed a few rides in a row now.  I managed to remember it in time, but at the pace we were riding tonight (translation: terrifying) it didn’t matter much.  Since I’ve missed that turn multiple times, I don’t exactly know the line yet.  I blew off a small drop and kind of nose bonked a hole with a gnarly sharp rock.  Karl saw me freak out a bit, and pulled out to the right.  Right into this…

Game over, man.  Well, he had a nice walk down Arawana Rd.

We, on the other hand, had a lovely ride under the setting sun.

After riding Rainbow North, Sidewinder, Tripod, Marmot, Rusty Muffler, Eagle, Raven, Mule Deer, Ponderosa, and Black Bear, we went for a little rip on Southern Dancer.

Yes, that’s all in one descent.  As Kurt would say… "This place sucks…"

I leave you with a couple more typical sunset snaps of the boys.

 

Peel Out 2013 – 3

Well…THAT was a good party.  They sure know how to do it up right in the Cariboo.

OK, last day. Today was the big trail opening celebration for Snakes and Ladders, but it was a bit cloudy and a bit cool and I think some folks found it a bit easier to sleep in this morning.  No problem, we have a video of what you missed.

No worries, there were enough keeners up and about to make something happen.  I think I pulled a good 7 full van loads up to the top by 1:30.

I got a couple of runs in myself after 2.  No pics, sorry.   Had to shred.  Got this one of Seth on a random skinny.  So old school…

We rolled out the next day, after the requisite stop at the Gecko.  Terra/Tara double/double?

Another Peel Out.  Chevy says it best…

One more shout out to go for this edition.  This next shot is the hand that belongs to our buddy Mitch, who is representing Devinci out there.  I gotta say, brother really represents.  First on scene every morning with a professional presence, throwing down sick times riding courses blind against some of the best riders in BC, and still carrying the torch when the party dies down.

Your’re the King of the Cariboo, buddy.
