Band of Bros – Redux Day 4

Last day, and the weather is bit iffy. So was the guides alertness factor, too for that matter. Something about driving half the night.

Luckily Gilliard wasn’t too far away, even if the landing on this stepdown was.

It took Matt to set the right line here.

Just a little damage…..

What trip to Gilliard would be complete without a session on Boss Hog?

The boys were making the most of the last day, even though the thunderclouds were threatening.

Gotta get that angle, you know?

Pft….that doesn’t look steep at all.

Well, guess again. That’s steep.

Some bermy bits…

Round two we hooked up with Johanna and Gwen, just to make sure the boys knew that Barb isn’t the only ripper chick on a bike out here.

Not that they needed much incentive.

We got slapped with a few hours of rain delay after a couple of Gilliard runs, but even though it was pissing out…

…we got a reprieve later and cracked off one more high speed lap in the grease of Builders Only.

As always, a killer trip. Check out some VIDEO too.

Revenge of the Sith – Day 12

Make up your own caption. I can’t really do this one justice.

Ah Paul…..you were doing so well.

Can’t you be more like Steve?

Craig, of course, was taking it easy with those stitches in his leg.

Yeah, right.

That’s more like it, Paul.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, this is Gilliard in Kelowna. Happy gapping.

We had a few laps, did a few shots….

…and then passed out in the back of the van with some dogs face in our lap.

Darcy’s 48th — Day 4

Nope, that’s not a typo. Some things are too foul to put on this website and believe me, Day 3 will never be seen here. Besides, it poured rain all day.

This is Ryan. He builds a lot of hte stuf at Gilliard. Especially the big stuff. Thanks, man.

We ran into a couple of the other builders there too, but I spaced the camera. Anyway, it’s all looking pretty sweet this year. A couple of new lines and some great maintenance. Except of the road, which is beat.

Dave rides the high line on the berm.

Johnny is even higher.

Dropping in on Boss Hog.

Post ride beers in the boat. Nice hats, dorks.

The secret to a great day? It’s all in the meat….
