Sure, it looks there’s some sun out there, but it’s just a tease.

Day 2 and already we’re getting close to setting a new record for wet on this tour.   It rained all night, and we had a late start to avoid the worst of it this morning.

I’m taking advantage of the minimal sun to lie down in the ferns and get some up skirt shots here.  The crew thought I’d crashed and fallen off.  Well, except for Jeff, who didn’t care one way or the the other and just rolled on by.

The girls are starting to impress.  They would be the best non-Canadian ladies we’ve had out, and are consistently kicking the guys asses around the trails.

For the afternoon laps, we went for an up and over to Gibsons via Red and the now famous Pressure Drop (featured in Follow Me).

While not exactly raining right now, it was pretty darn dark and dank in the woods.

After our ride, we went over to Stubz’ place to check out the gingers back yard.

Andrew has been busy of late.  Not only is he hard at work carving masks, he’s also teaching himself the art of bentwood box making.  I rrrrrrrrreallllly want one of these.  Kinda pricey though. If you’ve got a spare $1500 kicking around, let me know and I’ll put you in touch.  At least he’s more affordable than if he was Native.

Stubz also put on a show for the kids.  This is the big gap line from Follow Me.

And this would be the Kranked section from a couple of years ago.

Gen was so excited, she got a Boner in the Mist.
