I had the opportunity to take part this year, so I helped guide a hike and two riding sessions on May 31, June 1st and June 2nd.
The hike was a bit wet.
On Wednesday’s ride, I had a little help in the form of Mr Hoots, Mr Simmons, and Mr Rey.
The last ride of the Conference saw Mr March appear to help with a double run on Seymour.
There are many more pics to be found at this gallery HERE.
A bunch of stuff to catch up on here.
I finally got my big bike a little while ago. It’s a Rocky Mountain RMX R2, with a few key mods. Upgrade on the fork to the 888RC, an MRP tensioner, and a lower cockpit courtesy of ChroMag and Freedom. A big shout out to Pete for hooking it up, and to Gabe at Cove Bikes for keeping me on the trail. as soon as I get up to speed, I’ll be doing a review on not only the R2, but also the Cove Peeler and the Dark Scarab.
CBC’s Canada Now did a story on the bike issues on the North Shore this week. Ooooh. National coverage. Here Sharon, Jeremy, Barb, and Harley get interviewed by CBC, on CBC. I got a few words in (as usual), and Barb and I rode a few lines for them.
Also on CBC this week…(insert your own joke here).
The CBC Ripper was a blast, and a bunch more support went into the NSMBA coffers. If you haven’t experienced a Ripper yet, you too should come and feel the power of the dark side.
CBC also has some new funding in the form of a government grant. Jeremey Power will be working on the trail all summer. Here’s a taste of things to come.
Some more Pennsylvanians showed up. They seem to be getting it figured out.
That’s it, you’re up to date.
Hi there Paul and Jen from Pennsylvania. How was your flight? Long? We should go kayaking then….
I never get bored of living here.
Jen was in town for a medical conference, so we only had time for a short rip in the afternoon. The next day we went for a half run on Seymour.
Jen, “You want me to do WHAT?”, ponders the line on Pangor.
Paul gets the job done.
Now, it might be just my imagination, but those two seemed very tired every afternoon. I don’t want you to jump to any conclusions prematurely or anything, but….
Ain’t love grand?
