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

Aiden sending a gap at Savona.

 

Ned had his best outfit on to get red for the weekend.

Kanu came out to hang for the weekend.

Keith hitting a nice little jump on Harper. Harper is full of loads of jumps and features littered around.

Matt Monod  steezin out one of the new jumps that replaced some of the old wooden features that are being removed from the area.

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

Me(Paul) stepping down.

Alasdair whipping out his PInk 951

Timmmmmyyy!!!!!!!!!!!1

Dave finishing off the trail in style.

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.

Curtis warming up.

Alasdair showing Curtis the speed for a nice dirt double.

Tim working on his rhythm on this triple set. Perfect setup on the first one lead to a sick shot.

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.

The boys firing up some meat sticks for their mouths.

Beers, Dogs and fire….. the perfect ingredients for a good time.

Dave and Al enjoying a nice wet ride up the road at Savona for some laps. 10 bikes and 10 peops loaded up in Curtis’ truck

Next lap….. much more enjoyable ride up.

Aiden taking a break to see how comfy the dirt is in Kamloops.

Al checking out the flowers.

The flowers checking Suz out.

Ned showing us how to clear the gaps.

Tim following Neds lead

Alasdair leading the gang down a fun tech section.

MMMMMMM SCRUBBB

Calvert cammo sessioning.

Aiden upright.

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

 

It Would be really great if the snow would go away and let the poor children ride their bicycles…..Geez!!!!
