Retallack Ladies

*sigh*

I guess the season is getting on. It seems like only seconds ago it was May, and here we are on the Retallack Women’s Weekend already.

Well, at least I get to hang out with Lindsey, Lorraine, and all the rest!

The first day was much like most camps, with some yoga, some getting to know each other, and a parking lot session. After lunch, it was time to hit the Kessel Run…

Unlike many other camps I’ve been at lately, this one was downright dirty.

Heather, you wear that look well.

Can’t keep the sun away for long, though. It kept coming back to dry out the AllRide socks.

The on again/off again precipitation made for some legendary conditions. Not that the Kessel has ever been much less than legendary every time I’ve hit it.

Christine, do you ever stop smiling?

Here’s another banger from one of the token males of the weekend. Kootenay boy Kinrade, gettin it done.

Yeah, dude. You should look scared…

And now for one of my favourite parts of the Retallack experience…gourmet meals washed down with local BC red.

The ladies must have been feeling the day, because they were nowhere to be seen later in the evening. Maybe that’s why everyone was geeking out on their phones.

Except for Buehler…. Stay classy, Retallack.

Hey Ladies! Get funky….

Time for another round of shredder chicks at Retallack Lodge, and what better way to get the ball rolling than a set of brand new tires for everyone compliments of Specialized.

This is one of those skills camps, so the morning was spent in a skills session, getting everyone centered. After lunch, it was time to check out the new and improved trails off of Robb Ridge.

Improved they are. There’s a full 3000’ drop right out of the back of the lodge, and it’s got plenty of cool goods to shred. Here’s Lorraine demo’ing a drop in with her custom spec Specialized Demo.
