Great Weekend

What a weekend! I love the fall weather here in kamloops. On saturday I went mountain biking with a wicked crew of people and did some much needed trail cleaning on the Knutsford trail. Armed with a shovel, hoe (the garden tool) and a chainsaw we cleared most of the fallen deadwood off the trail. Special thanks to Scott Horley so bring the chainsaw, and actually being able to ride with a chainsaw strapped to his back. 

I was actually super impressed with Scotts riding. For a guy that is NOT a mountain biker and hasn't ridden in years...he was really throwing down. He even  re-rode a few sections so I could take some action shots...

which resulted in a pretty hillarious bail. 

But I have to hand it to Breen. The guy rode most of the day with a hoe across his handle bars and managed to only wipe out once. 

The best part about riding with a new group of people is being shown new areas that you haven't seen before. At one point we came to some of the biggest trail jumps I have ever seen, nestled into the tight little valley. This place was amazing. As a photographer, I was in heaven. All I could see was the incredible potential for some killer shots. Then to my amazement, Breen and Sam started to session these jumps. So I was scrambling all over trying to get the best angles before they hiked back up to hit them again. 

All in all, it was a great day of riding. With a great group of people that are stoked on life and riding.
