A likely bunch. Looks like trouble to me…..

It’s pretty damn cold out today. About -4C at the top of the trails, but it was fairly warm down by the river. The trails were still frozen, so you could go inhumanly fast on them today.

Yeah, warm. Lyle, you look ready for the beach….in Inuvik.

A good turnout too. About 40 riders showed up.

Even the cactus looks cold.

Chuckles was likin’ it, cold or no cold.

Some ponderous moments…

Glew dropping in….

Noel having a go…

Going…

Going….(nice one hander)

……..goiiinnggggggg……………

DONE.

That one coming on top of yesterday’s crash on the wallride, Noel is one sore dude right now. He said it was still worth it. I wish I had audio of the peanut gallery though. It was quite funny.

“Oh yeah, he’s got it…he’s got it…. he’s—-OOOOOOHHHHH!”

Chuckles decided on a different route at that point.

A different perspective….

That was enough for us. We retreated back to the comfort of Shreddies hot tub and saved ourselves for another day.

Fresh bike build today. I’m still waiting for my SX wheels, so I built this one with the DeeMax’s. They make a nice contrast to the BC Green, don’tcha think?

We had a little Knolly convention today. That’s 7 of ’em right there, and the 8th was under construction in the shop for later.

Noel, the man himself, came out for a Fox Mtn session today. Unfortunately, I seem to have some kind of disaster magnet effect on him. Every time we ride….

Oh well. You can see the marks on his right knee in the pic. That night, it swelled to the size of a cantaloupe. Just an FYI for ya: air shocks and cold weather aren’t a great mix.

Gotcha…

Travel day today. I did a little riding, but nothing worth posting. It was snowing pretty hard in Pemby (it’ll be sunny soon….the Pemberton Pocket. Stupid locals, it snowed all day).

Instead, I have this pic I took of Mr Coyote on the Duffy Lake road. He looks like he could use a little spring today too.
