Last Shore Ride (As A Local)

As if I’d never come back….

Actually, I ended up riding Seymour again on April 1st, but I had to drive all the way from Summerland to do it. Just a tourist now.

I couldn’t do my last loc’s ride with my usual riding buddy, as Wade is in Nepal right now. I’m never at a loss for folks to ride with though, so I hit up the coffee shop for some morning java and it took all of about 40 seconds to hook up a ride with Mike.

We went up to assess the winter’s impact on CBC. It’s in great shape, all things considered. A few trees down and a couple of washouts, but overall it’s dry and clear of snow.

All the major constructions are intact.

Mike is riding some new German bike called a Bionicon. Fully adjutable on the fly geometry. Needs a bit of refinement, but some good potential.

See? There it is.

We also hit up Corkscrew and Boogieman (running into a bunch of Mud Bunnies on the way).

The work on Boogieman turned out great. Now it’s the smooth one while Pangor is just trashed.

Great “last” ride, and a final look in the rear view as I left.

Ahhh, I won’t be gone so long as I can still visit….see you out there soon.

  1. Hi Johnny,

    thanks so much for an awesome ride!! I certainly will hook up with you in the Okanagan. And I will never forget how you cleared that huge fallen tree with a bunny hop. Amazing!

  2. Sorry I wasn’t there to join you.. Wylly and I should be coming to Penticton quite soon, looks like the end of the month.

  3. Yes, I did get a new camera. Thanks for noticing.

    It’s a Canon G7. Once I get all dialled in on the manual settings on this one, I’ll probably step it up to a full sized SLR, but not for at least a year or two.
