Shorts in November

Ok, so this is another one of those weather anomalies, but I’m not complaining.  We are solidly in an El Nino cycle in the Interior.   It’s been wetter for longer since we moved up here 6 years ago.    But that still isn’t anywhere near as wet as the Coast, and today was a terribly nice day.

So I took Barb (oh, and Terry, that’s him above) for a run down the same trail I rode last weekend.  I know, it’s not like me to ride the same thing twice in a row, but this is a particulary nice ride.

It’s a very easy one overall.  Nothing very technical, maybe a bit of a grunt for a few minutes on the climb.  And you get views like this…

Just another fall day in the Okanagan. 

Oh, and since it was Guy Fawkes Day, we blew up some stuff up after, but we were in a hurry, so no pics. 

I think it will eventually get colder, but the riding is ULTRA prime right now.  If you’re feeling a bit waterlogged in Vancouver, don’t be a stranger. Come on by.

Shop Ride and BBQ

It seems kinda dumb that we’re doing all these after work rides, and then  I don’t get home to dinner until nearly midnight.  We should just have a BBQ on the beach after.

Know what else is dumb?

Yeah, that log ride.   Still kinda fun, but you gotta make it to the end, eh?.  It’s moves like this that I’ll miss the most when Gabe moves to Ontario. 

Chuck D., overshooting the mulleins.

It was our first ride on the Beer Run all year.  Amazingly, the only spot I had to get off my bike was here.  Too bad though.  That’s the end of the mini road gap.  Moment of silence please…

And now, a little flashback to my little dog.  We may have gotten a new pup a couple of years ago, but the spirit of Harley lives on with Cooley.

Except the new dog seems to like the water even more.

Still can’t get her to read, though.  It clearly says ‘No Diving."’

Finally, a little meat shot for all you BBQ fetishists out there.
