Happy Birthday Dan!

Mmmmmmmmm…

Shanny Cakes for breakfast, it must be Gronross’s birthday.  Yes, that is bacon being cooked into pancakes.

Sort of like how this cat is trying to get a bird inside the feeder.  It’s two meals in one.

Oh, beer and cake!  Wait, that’s supposed to be after the ride.  I’m so confused…

Ahhh, here’s the ride.  We went back to Naramata to try out another route today.  Up Jose and over to Wild Pony.  The catch was that our coastal friends had FR bikes.  At least we managed to hook up with some DH riders at an appropriately random reference point partway through.

OK, so it’s not all sunny and hot like you wanted.  At least it’s not raining (it did snow a little bit).

This is the almost downhill part.

It’s mostly downhill most of the time.

Actually, it’s downhill for about 3000’, but when the guide goes the wrong way it doesn’t feel quite like that.  At least the sun came out.

Mike, it’s sunny and you LIKE pedalling. Try to look happier.

There’s our Okanagan bliss, now.

This section (Bronco), isn’t even singletrack.  We lost the line a couple of times in here.

Brant, you need a bigger bike.  Or maybe a stiffer spring.

Final section of the trail is a brand new banked gully ride a la Williams Lake.

Sho fun.

Finish the day with a rainbow and some ultra dramatic light. Oh, and also beer and cake.  Happy Birthday, Dan!
