Well, that was an epic drive. Crazy traffic, heinous wind, road construction, roadside naps, and a small fire on my amplifier. Got in around 1am…
Not a bad turnout for late in the season with a half dozen keeners showing up to improve their skill sets.
We were very busy today, and all I have to show for it is this shot of Lexi conquering one of her demons.
Plenty more from day 2 to come shortly…
That’s right, you heard right, it’s Peel Out time again. It seems like just 6 months ago I was here…oh wait, it was. I’m here this weekend to help shuttle the masses for the event, so I’m gonna get a bit of a workout lifting bikes on and off the roof. Luckily one of the first ones is this cherry Fatback Ti with a carbon fork.
That’s one of the sickest rides I’ve ever seen, and dude was a straight up baller shreddin’ the DH course on that bike.
I brought the fam along too, so Chevy and Bee could have some sista/shredda time togetha.
Oh snap! It’s our old pal Seth in the hot seat, and he managed to hang on to that pose for the hardware! Nice work man. Enjoy your victory bevvy.
Inside the brain of a legend…
3..2…1…Peel Out!
The back end of the pro category. CoCo, Doerfling, and Sorge. Gee….I wonder what the podium will look like?
Kind of like this?
Speed suit for the win…
I should mention that not only did I race today (on an XC bike), but so did Barb. Who borrowed a Devinci and hasn’t had a single ride yet this year. I beat her by 9 whole seconds…
Alright back to the lake.
Jacinta will probably kill me for this one, but she actually IS eating for 2. Is the world really ready for yet another Shreddie?
And we finish off day one with some more firelight shenanigans.
More to come, but in the meantime here’s some results:
…and some more shots:
That was a fun day yesterday. Just a reminder…
Always good times at Shreddie’s place. There might not have been any hot tub hanky panky, but as previously alluded to, the tub sure got manky.
With a great party comes the late start. Lenora styled us out with a huge Cariboo breakfast, and after tidying up and getting the girls packed up, we went into town to ride some more snowy trails.
What can I say? It was cold, grey, and while not great for pics it was sure fun to ride. Here’s Penny sending asmall road gap.
2012 is going down as a year where I rode with way more of the girls than the guys. I’ve always enjoyed shredding with the ladies, be it snow or dirt, but I really sense a shift this year. This trip underlines it in a big way. Women are riding big, and riding hard. This group was arguably stronger and tougher as a whole than just about any group I’ve ever had.
Pretty and badass = Pretty Badass.
Sounds like this crew is going for a rematch at some point. Here’s hoping I can get ringside seats once again.
The season is nearly done, but I’ve got a few more days of riding left to go yet.
