We had a traditional “camp out” at Rancho Relaxo last night. Truly the lap of luxury…
It’s IS a nice room, very high ceilings.
As we stayed in the South Okanagan, we went out to Naramata today. Gary and Stash came along too. There’s Stash, killing it as usual.
The first lap on the Beer Run went as usual. We had a good time sessioning some fun jumps, but mostly just shredded the singletrack to the beach so we could get a swim in.
Where we met up with “Vance Armstrong”, local trailbuilding hero and all around good guy.
Vance took us to his latest creation, “Drops-A-Lot”.
Guess why he calls it that?
It’s basically a crazy flowy line with a ton of 4 – 6 foot drops and gaps.
Here’s the master at work. Note the XC bike, the clipless pedals, and the lack of padding. Yes, this is Canadian XC.
Stash takes a different approach. She IS on a new bike though.
Farah found a different line….
Some parts of this trail aren’t even singletrack. Noughtrack?
There, back to singletrack.
Near the end of the trail there’s a bit of a tech feature with a really steep roll into…
…a bit of a sender.
I think Oli had a good ride.
..and it looks like Farah did too.
So lets do a spot of wine tasting, shall we?
As has become the norm, we took our purchases down to the “tasting room.”
Excellent seating in the tasting room.
Plus, the locals have awesome uniforms. Not sure about that arm deformity though.
We retired to Salty’s for some nourishment and evening entertainment.
Does this rate as a good day?
