How About Another T-Shirt Day?

Posted on November 8, 2014November 12, 2014 by Smoke

I think I could handle another one of those. A couple of guys from the coast saw all the trails getting listed on Trailforks.com, and decided to come up for the weekend. Up first was Rock Oven, which at this time of year features some golden loam.

Much different from the gold they talk about on the coast.

Here’s Trev in a t-shirt, just to prove that it wasn’t too cold.

OK , it was kind of cold. Or maybe the wind changed. I don’t know. This pic makes me laugh either way.

A couple of classic Rock Oven shots.

Sebastien hits some golden drifts.

Rock Oven may be good for a 5k’ descent, but we wanted more. So we cracked off a second lap on the Bog for dessert. We got some decent timing as we caught the last rays of sun near the bottom.

It’s still pretty dry in the mountains, but it looks like things are going to get cold this week. Time to bundle up!

New Trail, and a New Bike

Finally got the new rig finished, although I don’t have an updated pic for you. This one will have to do.

And since I’ve got a fresh ride, it only seems fitting that I check out a fresh trail. Shane and Mike have been busy scratching in a new line up in the Bog.

It’s reasonably loamy and fun, but maybe a bit lacking in character so far. I’m guessing that it will get bermed and jumped up a little over the next year or so.

Yeah, it was a bit foggy out. I wasn’t satisfied with just 2 laps either, so I hooked up with Franz for another top to bottom on Code 4. Ran into these guys on the retrieval.
