Die Rasenmaher – Day 6

On familiar ground again. Yup, back to Seymour. Gotta love the home turf.

I think Stefan likes it too.

The weather was still cool, but much drier than yesterday, to the point where we could ride skinny stuff.

Rob J. got all twisty on us.

Ralph likes the airtime.

Wicked misty out, makes for classic Seymour shots.

Nadine got her ticket.

Here’s a different angle for you. Most people who ride CBC have no idea that the trailis this high in the air in places.

Down lower we got into Salvation.

Even Peter got into the wall rides.

Stefan continued to rock the blue jeans, even though we weren’t at Whistler anymore.

Ja, Ralph likes the airtime.

So does Stefan.

..and Holger.

oooooh…..airtime shot of the day goes to Martin.

..but shot of hte day has to be one of the following sunset shots of Walter the Austrian.

Cool shots, and getting those killer images probably makes up for me drooling all over his wife (Sabine) all week. Super nice folks, Walter and Sabine. If you ever want to go and ride in Sallbach, they have the best guesthaus in town.

Hi Randy

What, not British?

Holy cow, and American. Randy was here for a conference on medical imaging, like MRI’s and stuff like that. I’m sure no one reading this has ever had to deal with anything like that….

Luckily, we managed to have a great ride and avoid the emergency room.

3 big laps today. I guess if you live in Grand Junction, you learn how to ride a bike.

Not that CBC looks much like the Colorado desert, mind you.

He adapted pretty quickly. The light was kind of crap for pics today, so I laid off the camera most of the time. Besides, Randy was a lot of fun to ride with so it was shut up and shred time.

We did a couple of top to bottom laps, and hit all the usual high points.

Ooooo….sunshine on CBC. as it’s now December and CBC is covered by a couple of feet of snow, this takes on new meaning.

So ot only did we take three rounds out of Seymour, but Randy also managed to drop the 6 footer log drop at the bottom of Ned’s.

Not bad for a rookie….

If you ever need X-Rays in Colorado, let me know. I’ve got the contact.

Hi Simon

Simon was in town briefly from Nottingham. He went for a rip with Courtenay up in Squampton, then came down here for a day on Seymour. I think that all this riding may be affecting my performance. Only one run today.

CBC, of course.

My camera has been acting up a little. What a surprise….

It’s kind of a cool vignette effect though. Makes for some variety on the home turf. I think Simon’s ridden here before. For those of you who ride CBC a lot, this next one is an excellent demonstration of the smooth line off the log at the end of CBC.

Some Salvation berm action.

…and the gnar line off the Pangor rock..

Wicked. Thanks for a fun ride, Simon.
