Rich and Lazy? – Pt 2

Actually, there was plenty of this sort of action before lunch. It’s hard to show how incredible this forest is in a pic.

Suffice to say you expect Frodo to appear at any second.

There’s a couple of steep sections from time to time. Some of them you just have to session.

Like this one.

..and this one.

OK, that’s lunch. Feeling rested? Good, cause here we go again.

It’s been a while since I took a little bike down any of these. It’s way more exciting this way (oooh, Joe Boxer!).

So many first timers…

..you can almost taste the fear.

Of course, there’s always the price to be paid. This is one of the climbs. If you look closely, you will see the faster members of the group up above on the cliff.

Of course, for every action the is an equal and opposite AWESOME ROCK to play with. Tuck and roll, Wade…tuck and roll.

Skip gets even Awesomer.

Happy Birthday Jacques.

Well, I feel fine. Anyone up for another lap?

I’ll take this as a “no.”

Harley seemed OK with it.

Something about cold draft beer at the end of an epic just seems right.

CBC Ripper

Welcome to the CBC Ripper. I’ll be your waiter this evening….

A great day for racing. Some wet and slick weather to make it more interesting.

This section near the end (the 2 rock faces) claimed more than a couple of victims.

No serious injuries though, which suited me fine as I was the 1st Aid guy for the lower part of the course.

Because of that, I got to go first. In keeping with my “Racing is Stupid” theme, I didi it chainless and got thouroughly spanked.

Yep, it’s the Shore.

Someone must have been in a hurry this morning.

Damn wallride. I bet ya only 5 or 6 riders got both wheels over the line.

Alo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ha….

Mountain Bike Action shot.

I always said Geoff Pendrell looked good in a dress.

Another MBA shot.

Jacques, you should get a set of tires for this one.



….and Satan takes a break. I guess he was tired after Tuesday.

Rippin…

…..slippin….

…and hittin it.

EVIL!

Ooooh, so according to some random chance of the calendar, we’re all going to hell today. Well, maybe you are. I went to Fromme with Barb and one fo her supervisors from the airport, Andrew.

He’s sort of rusty with the skills, but he’s getting back into pretty quickly. Nothing like Upper OilCan to get you back on track.

He seems to be doing a lot better with the skinny stuff than a couple of weeks ago.

Too bad you can’t see his face, he’s totally shitscared here.

Some random guy cruised past. No idea who, but it’s a good shot so there you go. Plus he had red tires. Maybe it was Satan…..

Of course, women are the root of all evil, so here’s a nice shot of Barb onthe new rock rollercoaster on Pipeline. What an awesome amount of work. Thanks to Greg and some other guy (I think he’s Czech).

First ever teeter for Andrew.

Well, that was fun….and it didnt’ even rain. Hmmmm, maybe the world IS comoing to an end.
