A Nice Problem to Have

Peddled up Old Buck today with Nic and her Crew for a rip down Neds. Just a few images from the day.

The Crew rallies at the entrance to Neds. Some shuttlers, other earning their vert today.

Terry flies off the jump...
followed by Lee.


And a little video for you AdHd'ers out there.

Me. You've seen this before. But I'm used to doing this on the big bike.


The new fork on the G-spot is really bringing out the power of this rig. I can't really say that I am missing the rear coil or the burliness of the Totem that much. The STD still feels better at speed and in terms of eating up small bumps. But the G-Spot is such a technical Genius. I can pick and choose just about any line I want. The Talas is doing it's job perfectly.

No decisions will be made this year. I'll start with a Demo on the new Shocker and go from there. It would really have to knock my socks off though to be worth the upgrade.

Go Time!

Quit messing around you guys. Get'er done!

GO CANUCKS GO!!!

Magic

2 Weeks of work being rather shitty. A weekend can make up for that tho. Mountain bikers know that you ride 10 times just to get that one that becomes Magic. This weekend was the true beginning of our ride summer. I only wish I was a better photographer.

Pics from Sundays ride. (None from my solo lap on Friday or our epic lap on Pingu Pangor on Sat, but its better than nothing.) In no discernible order.

If there is a God...

I must admit, when the Hawks got a power play in the first minute of OT, I thought the end was nigh. But good things happen and I feel like a big weight has been lifted off me and probably the whole city.

I am sure of one thing though. God has other places to be and is likely tired of all the people like me who only show up when the playoffs are on. This city has used up it's prayers. If there is a God, the Canucks are on their own for round 2.

GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just watched a much reborn Vancouver team come within one unlucky goal to eliminating the 'Hawks.

You looked good, in control in disciplined. The Hawks have been lucky to make it this far against you guys.

My only advice for Game 7 is this. "Fear is the Mind Killer."

Wipe them out. Bring the down. Destroy them all!.

With all my Heart, Go Canucks GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baptism in Rain. 1st lap of the Red Rider

What a lazy bike. Sitting around on the couch all day drinking my beer. Time to get her out and getter out and getter dirty.

It was a classic rainy day in the lower mainland. But Nicoletta was still in the mood to pack up her new baby and take it for a lap on Gear Jammer.

Just a few images from the day and Nic's inaugural ride on her new bike.
The proof is in the pudding as they say.
I've said this before, but I love riding up in the clouds.
Nic Shows her mojo.



We skipped the Mels part of the lap heading instead to the top of GJ. The top part last for about a minute.

Nic said she wasnt going to do this A-frame. This is run 2 of 3. What a liar.


There's my happy girl at the end of the ride.

She had a good day. No back pain, the tires stuck to the ground(Mostly).Good brakes, good Geo and good squish. The G-spot is the perfect bike for so many different kinds of riding. A bit burlier than you need going up this hill, but hella fun coming down.
Can't wait for Neds. She's going to love that trail on her new rig.

Why Ian doesn't like me

Below is a picture of Brian Boucher getting the yank after letting in 4 goals against our Canucks just after Xmas.
I kept trying to Hi five some one at the game but Ian was just having none of it. sigh. Its not a big deal. He doesn't like Boucher either.

What makes Ian mad are days like these. It's Friday. The weather is supposed to be crappy all week. He's working. And Aaron and I find a window to ride in.

Yes, that blue sky in the back ground.

"Hello Mr. Sunshine," I said.

"Hello Ted" he replied. "Nice to see you out riding your bike."
"It's nice to be out. Thanks for dropping in, Mr. Sunshine."

Afterwards...... on my iphone.

to Ian: Aaron says Hi. We just banged off Espresso. Man was it slippery.

From Ian: assholes, the both of you.

Nic got me a PS3 for my Bday. Smart Girl that one.
