Christian and Andreas

“Excuse me? Could you move your hand for a sec?”

Whatever that’s about…..

Christian and Andreas are from Germany. Welcome to Aberfahrten Valhalla, also known as CBC.

Andreas on the new way around the swamp. Notice how fast the Devils Club is coming in now that less people are walking in there? That’s in just a few weeks.

Andreas and a big tree.

Christian, trying to get famous on Pangor.

We took a little break and then went out for another lap.

It was great, but I think that the greasy conditions were a bit much for our European friends.

“I zhink zis is ze most tired I’ve ever been in my life…”

“Ja………….dude…..”

Odds & Ends

A bunch of stuff to catch up on here.

I finally got my big bike a little while ago. It’s a Rocky Mountain RMX R2, with a few key mods. Upgrade on the fork to the 888RC, an MRP tensioner, and a lower cockpit courtesy of ChroMag and Freedom. A big shout out to Pete for hooking it up, and to Gabe at Cove Bikes for keeping me on the trail. as soon as I get up to speed, I’ll be doing a review on not only the R2, but also the Cove Peeler and the Dark Scarab.

CBC’s Canada Now did a story on the bike issues on the North Shore this week. Ooooh. National coverage. Here Sharon, Jeremy, Barb, and Harley get interviewed by CBC, on CBC. I got a few words in (as usual), and Barb and I rode a few lines for them.

Also on CBC this week…(insert your own joke here).

The CBC Ripper was a blast, and a bunch more support went into the NSMBA coffers. If you haven’t experienced a Ripper yet, you too should come and feel the power of the dark side.

CBC also has some new funding in the form of a government grant. Jeremey Power will be working on the trail all summer. Here’s a taste of things to come.

Some more Pennsylvanians showed up. They seem to be getting it figured out.

That’s it, you’re up to date.

So You Think You’re Pretty Tough, Do Ya?

They all do, especially when they’re teenagers from Ontario.

Surprise! It’s the Shore. Welcome to Humility 101.

Actually, Jeff stomped it pretty hard. Three and a half laps of Seymour is definitely Tough Guy territory.

Especially when it’s dark….

…wet….

….and skinny.

Jeremey and Lester were out fixing up the Gerbil Cage section on CBC. No more walking through the swamp. Now you HAVE to ride it.

Jeff stepped up to some solid airs on the rental Playmate from the Cove.

Including the Piledriver.

OK Jeff, you earned it……..tough guy.
