May Long 2011 – 1

It’s not a UFB weekend.  Seems like the families are all doing, well….family stuff this year.  That’s OK.  There’s still some folks showing up to ride, MuddBunnies and such.

As befits our mature status, we’re doing more xc type of riding this year.  Although it is Canadian XC, so it tends to look like this:

Uh…it’s bigger than it looks.

Insert “That’s what she said,” at any point that you may get bored.

OK, so we actually have XC riding here.  Yes, that’s singletrack and Chris is riding UP it.

Unlike the North Shore, where you ride up roads.  Oh, and also…

Sunshine!

And flowers!

Yes, finally Spring has arrived.

Hands up who is happy about that…

The death of shuttle riding?

Well, no….but I had to come up with something here.

Yes, a touch repetitive, but everyone needs a pic of themselves riding through an old car.

So Rhonna gets one…

…and so does Veronika.

As usual, the descent is way to rad to stop and smell flowers, or take pics.  Here’s a rare shot of the tortuous route that is the “Feel the Love” descent on Smith Creek.

We’re not the only riders out today:

The afternoon was spent on Powers Creek, shredding the woodwork.

Dave has been hard at work clearing and buffing this spring.  It’s looking awesome out there.

Susan conquered this berm sith style.  Check out that line!  Right to the top.

Good, no vegetarians.  Not that there’s anything wrong with them, it’s just that they don’t eat steak.


Yay!  First big supper on the deck this year.
