Kamloops May Long Weekend DH

Radness, Riding, Trails

Having missed the annual May long weekend boys biking trip the last few years i made it a point to make it out  with the gang.

We headed out to Kamloops to set up camp at Mount Harper for a weekend of DH

Ned launching over a wood it at Savona on our rainy day ride. it down poured on us. which made for loads of off camber cow pooey goodness. the first trail we ripped lead us right down a gully that a farmer had apparently led a large number of cows up recently….. We found out after…Doah

Trail side carnage sitting at the base of a jump. not an uncommon sight in and around Kamloops. the land of big jumps will claim people and their rides as well.

We got lucky with the majority of the first day being dry. But decided to push our luck with one last run……our luck ran out and we got soaked . Luckily a few of the gang skipped out on the final run to set up a sweet tent village and fire.

In Kamloops if you loose the trail, you can just get your free ride on and make your own!
