3 Blind Mice

So Many Andrews, So Little Wine

Posted on by Smoke

We ere supposed to have even more Andrews, but a couple of them dropped out at the last minute so we have to be happy with just Andrew, Andrea, and Andrew…and Barb.

An early season XC up the Mice today.  Gotta be nice to those coastal types, ya know?

Andrew, an old co-worker from the Cove, gets off the leash for a day.

Not too shabby of a trail to go up.  Another route that’s going to get a lot of hours from me this summer.

Barb Gnarly is getting back out there this year too. She’s committed to hardtailing it for a while.  Because she feels so “rusty” after being off the bike a lot the past two years.

This oughta help polish that rust off…

The Return of the Son of It’s Yet Another Stag Ride – Aftermath

Posted on by Smoke

Wow, don’t you wish you stayed up all night drinking with the crazy chicks in the next cabin?  I think Blair doesn’t.

I got a strange request to shuttle up today, but with all the XC bikes, I thought we’d better just shuttle half way.  You know, for the sake of good form.

Our old buddy Vance came out today to show us some of the lesser known routes in the area.  This is “High Pony”.

It sucks.

Oh wait, that’s not right.  It RULES!

The return of more typical Okanagan weather helped though.

Careful, that’s a bit of a drop eh?

OK, everyone gets their pic on this corner, don’t screw it up.

Good thing we had Vance with us.  Here’s a shot of a typical trail junction out here.  There’s actually a turn there, as we rode out past those random rocks to another trail.

See?

Dude….that’s not the line.

More sick fall riding.

Hang on, let me get my shades.  I think I see something over here.

Ha!  Good times…  Look while you can, you’re about to be married.  Anyway, thanks to Peter for calling up for this one, and to Lee for the recommendation.

Roughies – Day 3

Posted on by Smoke

Last day, and we’re spent…

Well, actually we put in a normal Naramata day, but for these guys that’s sort of mellow.  Jeff had to split early, and the other two finally found time to relax and enjoy the lifestyle.

“Honey..not in front of the bikes!”

I love the beach.  So… scenic.

Anyway, no cool riding pics.  It was super hazy and smoky, so everything sort of washed out.  This fellah, on the other hand, was outstanding.
