Let me check. Lost in the Mice? Yep, it’s Thursday.
Just another session of trying to find the most complicated route down. Nik here is putting the Stumpy EVO 29’r through it’s paces.
…and then Julie’s head exploded.
So we went home.
Just kidding. Well, we got home eventually, and Julie’s head was just fine.
A bit late on starting the youth rides this year, but hey…I’ve been busy. Still got a few dudes out for it.
Took it pretty easy for our first ride of the year, but it was no problem for the boys. All of them were with us last year, so this stuff is no sweat.
Big Mig shooting the Redemption stepup with style.
Park tires on dust don’t really give you the same sort of feel as the big bike, though.
Oh, and an old guy too.
As usual, sunset around here sucks.
Dave wanted to ride something different today, and since he was going to be in Kelowna we decided to go hit up Gillard.
Only one problem…too many Fags on the bridge.
Haven’t spent much time up in Gillard the past couple of seasons, but it’s looking great. Tons of work has been done up there. Hard to believe this network was essentially destroyed by fire. Here’s Dave on Dr. No, which has had a substantial rebuild this year.
Also finally had a look at the new Casino Royale (lots of pics of the build from Bert and Ernie…I mean Andrew and Brant..at that link). It’s an incredible trail. While there are a few really large moves, for the most part it’s more of a technical ride with some 5′ drops and some really, really cool lines. Highly recommended.
Oh, and thanks to Brooke for driving the shuttle today. That was awesome.
