Just another youth ride…but with a new bridge.
The usual sunsets though.
And a big toad (Western Toad, nothing special but nice to see).
I got home late tonight, too. Seems some jackasses didn’t put out their campfire very well on the weekend, and it flared up tonight. That could have been gnarly, as it’s getting dry now.
Lookout! It’s a Mooooooooooooose!
There was a calf there too, but I missed it. On deck today was the Wright Passage, which is Rock Oven starting from the top of Ellis Canyon. A nice, cool day with high overcast, and some rednecks with semi-automatic assault rifles to start. We didn’t hang around those guys (they seemed amiable, but very drunk), and proceeded to smash off the Derenzy DH.
Until Vance managed to crash on the climb.
Good one, buddy. You’re supposed to do that on the descent. Ah well, Megan and Kurt (and Kro, but he’s not in this shot) managed to stay upright ’till the end.
I think she’s having fun. She’d better be, as she solidly trounced the boys on the climb.
A couple more classic shots from Rock Oven. I didn’t bother with the camera a lot today. Too cloudy, and we were having way too much fun to stop for pics.
I can’t just riding with the women cold turkey. Lets get some of the girls out for Thursdays!
A truly tortuous route through the Mice tonight, as I wanted to link together a bunch of new discoveries. Joining us from out of town were Megan and Rebecca. Megan is a seasoned pro, while I think this may have been Rebecca’s first experience riding with pros. Conditions like this make that a great experience.
Some golden hour sessions with Karl.
Megan, who may have a BC Bike Race belt buckle or two in her sock drawer.
Rebecca.
Terry with a possible shot of the day.
But Megan gets Bum Shot of the Day here..
…and one more of Rebecca with the Mountain Bike Action filter on to make it look extra gnarly.
…We ride for Tree…
