Yup. Comin to Penick— Pantack—-Penicton…….dang it!
Brad brought along another assortment of huckster doofus’s (doofi?). I’ll let you figure out which ones…
Meh, blurry….
Hmmmmmmm, I wonder why…
Oh wait, there we go.
Sure, we’ve all seen Bud Height a million times now. What about the Seperator? I thought it was just put there to make fun of us. Well, ole Willy don’t take kindly to people makin fun.
We don’t take kindly to people who don’t take kindly ’round here…
‘Sho nuff.
Time to put this weekend to the bed….Ooops! Sven beat me to it.
I guess Weebels sometimes DO fall down.
Anyway, HUGE update today. For some reason we seemed to take a lot of good shots for the holiday monday.
Like this one of breakfast.
I don’t suppose any of you have been drinking this weekend, have you?
Oh, and that flowered shirt? That would be our old buddy Mark (Syncro on the NSMB.com boards) who stopped in to see what the local skinnies were like.
After seeing the pics from yesterday, everyone was into checking out Arawana today, although we did modify the route to make it one big lap for today rather than a couple of shorter ones.
The boys were really pushing the skinnies for the last day.
Little airs…
Big smiles…
No Sven, it’s not a wheelie drop.
Mark working hard to get the Behemoth over the gap.
….and Andrew tries to find his center (hint: its not over there).
“Get this thing off my baaaaaaacckkkk!”
Welcome the 2008 Brodie catalog.
Here’s Barb getting chased by a giant can of beer.
Hi…..
Higher…..
Mark making new lines.
Another Brodie catalog shot.
For the second part of the ride we got into some endless singletrack on the Rusty Muffler.

Ahhhh, yes. The winery.
A great way to take a break ont he side of the trail.
Not everyone kept the ride going to the bitter end, but for those that did…
There were certain…
….perks. Keep going there Dorothy, I think there’s a few drops left.
Uhhhhh, which way is the trail again?
For gods sake Jeff……get a tan. Your whiteness is interfering with my view…..
Yeah, it’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it.
The ladies totally agreed.
And so we end how we started, with a wobbled Weebl.
Good long weekend. I think this crew will be down for a repeat in September. Harper Mtn. campout, everyone?
Uh oh, we’re totally busted. Someone found out that we’re just faking all this…
. Apparently we’re not hardcore enough for some Westbank loc’s that think they are God’s gift to the bike world. Fricken’ white trash….I know where you live.
On to happier events…. HAPPY CANADA DAY!!! Let’s go ride.
Colin from the now defunct (I think he packed ‘er in last year) Toss Gear and his girlfriend showed up so along with Sven and Dorothy (Aimee and Andrew went winery-ing and Sarah and Jeff went to Silver Star) we hit up Arawana. Colin REALLY hit up Arawana….
That was the infamous Bud Height hit. I was feeling a little tired from a solid week of rides, but still that new Knolly is so killer that I managed to hit some of the few remaining ramps that I haven’t gotten around to nailing…
Colin was loving the Okanagan vibes, although some it was a bit over Sven’s head….
Think he can hit the lake from there?
He was sure trying to…
Metallic blue beetle, not sure what kind it is. If you really know your coleoptera, let me know.
Back to riding, in the Arawana Canyon.
Very artsy….
So hard to get perspective in here. I guess I’m going to have to spring for a fisheye lens soon.
Final bit of singletrack before the beach.
I haven’t been posting many pics of cool cars lately. I think it’s because there are so many around here. This is one of several roadsters that went past us on the highway yesterday.
