EVIL!

Posted on June 6, 2006 by Smoke

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.

CycleActive XC Tour — Last Day

Posted on September 8, 2005 by Smoke

Last day, time to shine people. We pulled off an epic North Shore line today. Since everyone was staying at the Holiday Inn, we rode up the old Lilloeet road to the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge to get started.

We worked our way up various sneaky little paths through the valley until we got up to the top of Mountain Highway, and cruised up to Upper Oilcan.

It was a little much for some of the crew, but everyone rode part of it, and we got to check out the Circus too. Bike Mag recently rated UOC as one of hte top 10 trails ever or some such thing. I’m not sure if I completely agree, but it’s definitely a good one.

Now, after that we rode up again and hit 7th Secret. I used to hate this trail, but that top 10 rating should have been applied to 7th. It’s amazing with all the work that’s gone into it recently.

Some others seem to agree with me….

So, funny story….

Kate,who rode stronger and strnger all week, nearly cleaned this log ride. Of course, jerk that I am, I was standing so close to the log that I elbowed her off into the canyon at the end. Just one more “souvenier” to remember me by….

Actually, most of the crew rode it clean and everyone tried it.

We finished the ride by going all the way down Leapoard, Crinkum Crankum, Kirkford, the Griffin Trails, Mtn View trails, back across the Demo Forest and the Fisherman’s Trail via Twin Bridges.

That about did everyone in.

Great trip, and a nice change of pace from all the huge hucks of summer. It’s nearly fall, must be time to switch to rotary power soon……
