Geile Titten – Coda

Well, maybe “Reprise” would be a better title. Coda would imply a slower, shorter version of the preceding music, and these guys ain’t too slow…for Germans.

I just couldn’t resist. Sorry guys. Super stoked to see you come out actually. You’re enough fun to make my dog want to jump off a cliff.

Which was inspiration enough for Ralf. Looks like he’s recovered from the crash last week in Pemby.

The boys also brought along a new guy, Jeremias. I get the impression this ain’t his first rodeo. He’s been in country for a while, and he seems to have acclimatized.

Oh, and big ups to Vance for fixing the booter at the Gnarnia junction. It’s just a small jump, but it’s one of the more fun ones in the zone. As the guys found out, you don’t need too much speed for it (although landing flat ten feet past the tranny is kinda fun.).

As we had time for a few runs, we went with a Beer Run to finish off the day.

Perfect timing led to the Golden Hour in the grass.

Besides the Germans, we also had a random ONtario XC guy in the person of Ken joining us today. Gotta give full props to the guy for this, as he was in well over his head with this group, with a borrowed bike and first time shuttling, and still went the distance on the day.

Of course, no Beer Run is complete without hitting Ivy League.

Way to get your feet wet in the world of BC Freeride, Ken.

Slocan Style

Today truly is a day off. I’m kinda tired. Good thing Oso Negro has the lockdown on the killer brew to help a tired rider out. And also, the always fabulous Ann to help me with my fix (pictured here with our homie, Kurt).

Our plan today is simple. Beer and inflatables. Along with the aforementioned Kurt, Pete and Steve also came along to help filter beer into the river.

The float is about perfect. Just exciting enough to encourage some friendly rock throwing.

That was a bit of work though, so we just settled down into floating and chilling out.

My best day of the summer…

Another Thursday Ride

Haven’t done a Beer Run in a while. You kind of forget how big it can get out here.

Not that it’s even rideable anymore.  It’s still a stunning example of good intentions gone awry.

Our new buddy PegLeg was out on the Klein again.  We keep telling him he needs a new bike, but he’s insisting on riding it.  I think he also needs some dry socks…

Oh, and we also corrupted some Aussies.   I’m guessing we’ll see some more of these guys in the future.
