Canada Day Long Weekend – Day 2

Ahhhh yes……Day 2. I think we may have been up late last night. Aimee had to one eye it to bed….

She looked a little worse for wear the morning, as did we all.

Oh well, at least it was sunny out.

The bluebird skies inpired us all to hit everything in sight.

Even Barb, with a huge hangover, was hitting up the moves.

Sven is getting the North Shore cobwebs out.

Andrew drops in on his new Brodie Devo.

Whatever, that’s old hat for Barb.

A bit of a possee.

I said POSSEE.

Still, it makes you wanna get in the van, doesn’t it?

Round 2 we went for the longer lines. They twist around more, takes longer.

Sara is a bit newer to the sport, but she was still railing the ramps and proving that yes…whe is a good sport.

Good thing thse Shore skills are stilll sharp, eh Sven?

Dorothy on her first berm ride.

All these folks pushing their skills and stepping up their game gve me the inspiration I’ve been lacking to hit the Monster Amigo on the new rig. Finally….the monkey is off the back. Damn, if that isn’t one of the nicest hits around.

Good times….good times.

Freedom Bikes Ladies Nite

Now that’s what I like to see in the rear view mirror. Yes, it’s that time of the week again. Ladies Nite, although this time I stayed out of it except for providing a shuttle. Barb and Jules took the girls for a rip on the Rusty Muffler.

Oh look, it’s just like the Shore.

So’s this. Just like North Van, the girls outnumber the guys these days.

Artsy shot courtesy of Barb. She’s getting pretty good with the camera now.

Hordes of them.

I swear I’ll never get tired of views like this.

You getting bored of looking at pristine singletrack yet?

Me neither.

A few minor mechanicals, and it’s sunset.

And then it’s moonrise.

Ladies Nite is every Tuesday at 5:30 behind Freedom Bikes in Penticton. All abilities and biking persuasions are welcom (even roadies).

Quick Visit

Had to go back to Vangroovy for the NSMBA Trail Day we were sponsoring, and I was smart enough to bring my bike in for a quick ride.

I happened to run into the same group of guys in a few spots onthe way down, so I snapped a few shots.

As luck would have it, I rode withone of these dudes a couple of years ago on the St. George’s KVR trip.

Which is sort of funny considering that I’m going to be heading out on that trip in a few days.
