Here’s what I was up to today:

Thanks to all that came to help out…

There is something to be said about a picture being worth a thousand words…….

What more can I say? Without everyone’s participation and all the sponsors support it just wouldn’t have been the same!! THANK YOU!!

…Another successful Trail Maintenance Day on CBC last Sunday (July 25, 2004). This time we concentrated our efforts to the top/middle section of the trail, above the “Gerbil Cage” by filling in the low spots and rehabilitating the drainage of the trail. The result was a buffer, smoother trail in places that really needed it.

Thanks to the approximately 25 – 30 volunteers that participated throughout the day and riders that we collectively coerced, or persuaded….into helping for a few minutes (a small toll to ride the trail perhaps??). We truly appreciate your help to those that actually stopped to help out!

….and Day Ten.

Day One seems like it was just yesterday….

The last ride on the menu was a trip up Fromme (Grouse).

With the heat, the climb up was a little harsh. Being the last ones to leave the Raven last night had nothing to do with it? The boys were singing loud, rowdy rugby songs and pretty much had the whole pub singing along!

Here’s Tony (Jedi) looking up from the bottom of Digger’s rock drop:

the boys just had to see the legendary “Circus” handcrafted by none other than Dangerous Dan himself:

…Then onto something slightly bit tamer, Upper Oil Can

‘Stoph..we think:

stewie on the “Big Smooth”:

and again on “Sideshow/Air Supply”:

Glenn on the same stunt, different angle:

I finally hit this one too, but Smoke didn’t get a very good shot. However, Martin a short viddie of it…I’ll try to post it someday, somehow..

Here’s a shot of a litlle break, a little rough this morning…

Some of Digger’s Speciality… Rollercoasters!

Another night at the Raven, a little sleep in…..a few of the boys were brave enough to get in on just one more quick ride before breakfast. The others packed up their bikes and gear, checked out the local shop and the Cove Bike Shop, a few swims in the ocean…then finally the tearfull goodbyes (me & Nelly) at the airport. I’m already signing up for vacation time next July!

Th-th-th-that’s all folks!
