The final day of riding with the girls. It’s gonna be tough to top the vibe of yesterday, but I’m sure we’ll have some fun.
Got out for an early morning shred with Kirt Voreis and some of the other boys. One of my biggest stokes of the whole season; leading Kirt down the lodge trail on Robb Ridge. Yeah, he’s a whole order of shredder magnitude up on my abilities, but I know the trail so it was fairly even.
Oh, and here he is deflowering the Knuckle at the end. He didn’t even know it hadn’t been hit yet, he just sent it.
Meanwhile, back at the Lodge…
After a late breakfast, yoga, and some skill sessions in the parking lot, it was time for the ladies to hit the lodge trail (Riley, you really gotta come up with a name for this line).
It was all about railing the turns this morning. Here’s ‘Raine popping the exit hard.
Surprise of today was Margot, who really hasn’t done any DH riding before. She was nailing this trail. I guess there might be something to yoga after all…(she was leading the yoga sessions for the weekend).
Hey! You’re a dude!
Kirt, yer such a ham.
The girls spent a bit of time on the berms, but this trail just doesn’t lend itself to sessioning. Once you start to feel the flow, you gotta just rail it.
Lindsey agrees…
OK, there is ONE jump on the way down. Meg really wanted it, so we spent some time there. She got it….
..but then again….

Ah, she was more or less OK. At least it was the last run of the retreat. Anyway, nothing a few weeks off the bike won’t fix. I’m pretty sure I’ll be seeing Meg again in the near future. She’s too rad to not ride with again.
Here’s some food for thought… or just for eating. I’m going to miss Yves’ cooking, that’s for sure.
It being the last night, we had to break out the ShotSki.
Bottoms Up, ladies!
Things degenerated quickly after that. I don’t even really know what went on, so you’ll have to make up your own story for this last one…
