Day 3 Swiss Kids Peat Bog

Posted on June 6, 2013June 12, 2013 by Smoke

Hi Kristy! Thanks for shuttling!

Last day with Paul and Dani, and for an added bonus Darcy came out. This is Darcy’s first ride since he almost died last year from a ruptured aorta. Basically, one guy a year survives this condition. Greyballs lives!

However, one run was enough. We did a couple, and this is what they looked like:

The boys have been busy buffing up the Bog this spring. It’s got more flow now than it’s had in years. Lots of fun, and not too hard either.

Thanks to Troy for fixing up the gaps near the end. They used to be a bit jarring with different lips and oddball distances, but now they flow so sweet…

After a couple of Bog laps, it was time for the Thursday night shop ride. I think all the epic runs from the past couple of days finally caught up with Paul.

He got away with a little knock to the head, so nothing serious.

Ah yeah…. Thursday.

Good to see you again, Paul. Have a great time in BC.

Another Old Cove’r

They’re comin’ outta the woodwork, I tells ya. Another old co-worker from the dark days of Cove Bikes showed up today in the form of one Paul Jolley. Paul disappeared to the Eurozone around 14 years ago, and just showed up with a Swiss miss and some kind of German joinery ticket.

I don’t know what that means, but as Barb tells me, this baby snake we saw is a Northwestern Garter Snake.
