Well, the North Shore is sorta beat right now, and Lee and Sharon have been raving about the Fraser Valley….so it’s off to Sumas.

Hi Lee!

They really wanted to show off a new trail in Abbostford called Squid Line.  But first we had to deal with some flat tires.

Oh, and get warmed up too.  This is an older trail called Knob Gobbler, of which I rode part of years ago with Mitch "The Bitch" Diem.

A charming little trail, and made more so by the fact that some local ladies showed up to shred.

Marcus really appreciates Canadian biker girls.

Here’s Lee sending a little drop.  Not that he’d know, as he has no depth perception.  Too bad I didn’t get a shot of his massive nose wheelie run out.  Talk about your lucky recovery.

Daniel has no such handicap, and just sends stuff.

Well, Squid Line is OK.  It’s like a really long pump track.  It’s fun, but it’s sort of repetitive and doesn’t have a lot of character.  Maybe in a few more years…

Round two and we went to find some of the older trails like Time Killer.

This was a much more interesting trail.  It reminded me of Disneyland back before it got logged, or Eagle back in the day.  Very loamy, with some very nice technical lines.

We ended up on this steep trail called "Devils Throat,"  where Susi gets bum shot of the day.

Daniel gets nothing for wheelieing through the mouth of the devil.

The biggest surprise of the day?  Great sushi in Abbotsford. Who knew?

For the last pic of the day, make up your own caption.  All I ask is that whatever you’re thinking right now, you need to imagine it with a german accent when you look at this.

Zuuuupa!
