Thursday Beer Run

Last ride of spring.  Time to get our huck on.  This is about as pure gravity as you can get in the Penticton area.

The trail is in pretty good shape.  A few of the older stunts are broken or have been removed, but the rest are either rebuilt or vastly repaired.  We went through fast enough that I didn’t take any pics until Ivy League.

How’s that for a rock garden?

Sometimes I feel like I’m in a tropical jungle on this trail.

But then you’re right back in the desert.

It being Thursday, we finished on the beach with some brews and a tubular meat feast, thanks to Ogopogo Meats.

Alright, time to bring on summer!

Shop Ride

Gotta switch it up a bit on Thursdays.  We’ve been kind of ignoring the gnarlier lines in favour of enduro style training, so we thought we’d ramp it up a bit this week and bring out the bigger bikes.

Whatcha doing over there Dave?  Scared?

A little warmup on Eagle before we go to check on the Giggling Donkey.

Yup, it’s all OK.  Although we all kind of punked out on the first roll in.  Admittedly, it does need a bit more dirt (or maybe concrete), but it’s not that bad.  We’re just out of practice.  The Night Stocker line is still exciting enough.  I’ll see if I can get out for a bit of dirt throwing on Monday maybe.

Nice work on reshaping that berm, Travis.  It’s way faster now.

Summer is pretty much here.  Time to start finishing the rides on the beach.  Not only our first post ride BBQ, but also my first swim in the lake this year.

Tubular meats on the beach!  Where’s Chuck D!?

More Thursday Action

First up, here’s a video from the Enduro on the weekend that our friend Connor put together.  As usual, he nails it.

I’m a little bit bored of the Mice right now, so I suggested we ride Carmi and the Bog instead this week.

Mud, dust and sand, and actually very good trail conditions.  Terrible light though, so only a couple of sub-standard pics to get you through.

I’ll have to make it up to you later with more good’r pics as they happen.
