Darcy’s 48th — Day 5

Whattya get when you cross the end of a long night shift tending bar, a brand new Yamaha R6, a gravelly corner, and a stunned senior citizen in a Chrysler?

Yo, road rash.

Better go hang out at the car show. I thinkthat’s where this guy was headed.

We went riding instead. Steve Mitchell tagged along today. He pussed out on the Monster Amigo and instead hit the middle one. Yikes…..

I think I like the big one better.

Well, at least he was going for it.

Even a teeter teeter totter totter in the rain.

Yeah…rain. Stupid long weekend. Happy birthday, Darcy. Until next year.

Darcy’s 48th — Day 2

There are times when you probably shouldn’t click on the pictures in this blog. The shot below definitely falls into that category. Think of it as a “before” and “after”, and remember; you’ve been warned.

Hey look, we went riding. There’s a new trail in Westbank by the name of “Builders Only.” Here’s Dave getting the feel of one of the new bridges.

Our courageous guide, Dirty Dave Diddler, came out to show us his new work. This is actually off the old line, but he rebuilt the deck as the old one was falling apart.

Another of the locals on a new stunt, which is a prime example of the “Must Have Stunt of 2006.” Step up gap to elevated platform with a gap and ending with a step-down.

They’re everywhere this year.

Bob keeps it anchored to the wood.

Barracho on a cool little corner step up/step down.

..and it s a bit blurry, but this would be Barracho againon his first road gap (Ok, it’s a mini one, but hte Camel Toe still hucks across a dirt road so I say it counts).

Not the driest long weekend on record.

Say hello to our trusty tow truck driver. The van wouldn’t start, and our guest of hnour (Darcy) buggered off to drink Jaeger so we had to call BCAA for a jump.

We got even…..

Darcy’s 48th

It’s Darcy’s birthday…again. Got your ticket?

They seem to have their tickets. No Darcy, I don’t think it’s in the cooler.

Oh wait, now he has his ticket.

Look over there! It’s your birthday!

Bob checks out an old rail station.

This ain’t Brokeback Mtn., boys. Someone’s gonna get hurt if you keep standing so close together.

See? I told ya…

Something sure does smell like flowers.

So, no riding today. Just travel. Here, enjoy this 1969 Firebird with the 400 under the hood.
