Easter fun at KBC
on Apr 08 in KBC
What a huge first weekend for Kamloops Bike Company’s DH trails. Park Cycle from Edmonton had there Downhill team out to show us how it’s done and did they ever. To add to the numbers, Conrad from Fernie, added another 18 riders to the group to make this the largest ever first day group. The first ride was down Ol’ School. This is the best shape we have ever seen it in, thanks to a great preseason clean up. Talk about some serious pinners!!! Five female riders made sure that the boys had their ‘A’ game. One of the ladies was even putting her brand spankin’ new Demo 8 a taste of the good life in the Kamloops Bike Company dirt. Once to the bottom, high fives and load up. Bull Moose!!! A little change of pace with the switch back trail pattern of Bull Moose. We regrouped at the top of Cebo’s Revenge and dropped in. Have to admit; when you take a quick look up behind you to see the long string of riders dropping in one after another…That’s what Kamloops Bike Company is about. Every rider pinning it and next thing you know… The Cauldron Road Gaps. There was rumour that there were some takers for the 20’ x 28’ ‘Roam’ road gap. In no time at all, there was a steady steam of riders hitting the 11’X17’ gapper while the boys were looking over the ‘Big Boy’.
Back to the Fly Circus…Tedman starts it off with the text book table off the gap and made it look simple. Back to the top.. Tedman leads in a second rider right on his back wheel and hits the longest no-hander ever!!! I seriously thought he was going for the no-hand landing.
This group had some serious jumpers mixed in. We continued the rest of the day.. Bambi was next …Ol’ School was the class favorite which is no surprise. Ol’ School has it all and lots of it. The whole crew had a great time, overall another great weekend had by riders at Kamloops Bike Company. Come on out to Kamloops and join the insanity!!
