Canada Day

Yay!  It’s gonna rain!

Thanks to Andrew from Brodie for bringing some more wet weather.  Oh well, the end of the rainy season is truly in sight.  There’s only a day or two of wet left

Yeah, it’s July.  I know.  Try to pretend like it’s sunny or something.

OK, it was a totally rad ride.  I’m just playing ya.  I mean, it did pour rain at the end but the conditions were amazing.

Just as the rain hit, we dropped in to Laughing Stock winery, a first for me.  Nice grape juice, and cool vibe.

They are just like us.

Shock Monkey Okanagan – Day 2

Posted on by Smoke

Our man Gabe took a day off from his busy schedule to ride some more rain with us in Naramata.  Oh, and also to show us his dance moves.  He’s got some pretty hot party moves, that boy.

Don’t let that sunny bit there confuse you, it was wet again today.

Well, Okanagan wet, not coastal wet, but still…

…we made up for it in other ways.

That’s pretty green for a desert, eh?

AARRRRRGGGGHHHH!

Had to call it after two runs.  Gabe’s party moves were too much for us, we needed some drinks.

So we beelined it for a winery.

Yeah, we’re kind of a big deal.

So they fed us a half dozen sips of grape juice.

And some of us had a hard time with that.  I always thought that Aussies knew how to hold their liquor.  Hmph.

Trouble was a bruin, I tells ya.

So Many Andrews, So Little Wine

We ere supposed to have even more Andrews, but a couple of them dropped out at the last minute so we have to be happy with just Andrew, Andrea, and Andrew…and Barb.

An early season XC up the Mice today.  Gotta be nice to those coastal types, ya know?

Andrew, an old co-worker from the Cove, gets off the leash for a day.

Not too shabby of a trail to go up.  Another route that’s going to get a lot of hours from me this summer.

Barb Gnarly is getting back out there this year too. She’s committed to hardtailing it for a while.  Because she feels so “rusty” after being off the bike a lot the past two years.

This oughta help polish that rust off…
