Seymour

Windsor Bike Team

Posted on by Smoke

Just a little volunteer afternoon with the Windsor Bike Team. It seems their regular coach (our good friend Diana Kilby) has come down with a case of torn ACL, so I’m filling in on coaching duties for a bit. Not much to do really, just going for a ride.

Here’s the hooligans now.

Nobody really wanted to climb, but I convinced ’em that Pangor isn’t that far up Seymour.

It isn’t really that far anyway.

I think a couple of them were surprised at how quickly we got up there.

I know the rest of them were surprised at how out of shape I am at this time of year.

Anyway, lots of fun.

We climbed, we sweated, we rode.

Good times.

Only one more ride on the Shore as a local….stay tuned.

Run, Forest!

RUNNNN! Oh shit…..it’s a bunch of damn hicks in my driveway.

Oh well, it’s a gorgeous day and I’ve gotta start getting the hang of this camera. We went for some adventure riding on Seymour. Sorta like this new powerXClightfreeridecross category that’s the “Next Big Thing” in biking.

Whatever, we went riding.

Huckstering.

Very nice out today. A bit of an inversion, so the city is under fog but it’s sunny and warm up high. Still some snow and lots of fallen trees, but they can be fun in their own right.

The rocks were dry.

Some of the structures are toast though. Here’s a totally staged line for you. It was an old ramp, but it’s snapped in half just out of frame left.

Wyld Willy was on point, and rode true to form.

The rest of the boys were stepping up to the bar though. That’s one hairball drop.

Another air session a bit lower down.

Then on the traverse back, Brad found some fallen trees. Check that out. It’s a solid 20 feet off the creek somewhere down there, but most of the time it was more like 10 feet of air to another 10 feet of broken spiky splinters and rocks.

Wyld Willy, you’re my hero. If you want to ride like Willy, start by dressing like him. Check out his company, Spectrum Techwear.
