Friday night started with Lee leading us on a great 19-mile night ride from camp on the Suttle Tie Trail. We had a great turnout, and everyone had such a good time that I have a feeling this will become a regular BC tradition. Sorry, no pics ... next time I'll get a shot of everyone's lights.
Saturday the main event was a nice ride up to the head of Jack Creek, which (like many streams in this area) pops right out of the volcanic ground, fully formed. Regroup:
Here's a perp lineup. SS riders only please!
Check out those beautiful larches in the background. There were a couple times when the wind picked up and I found myself riding through a shower of yellow needles. Cool. Another trail shot:
Chris models his schwag. Looks like Meat Foot and his Surly flask were having a good time too:
SSue tries to keep Chris in line (uh, didn't last long!) with her new ice axe.
IDM won a couple of pieces of wearable schwag. Here's one:
Not all of the schwag was of equal value, but everyone was proud of their winnings!
Like I said, not all of the prizes were of equal value:
And here's the most valuable one of all. This commemorative Barbie frame is loaned to its winner to ride for 6 months, and bring it back (with one additional component) to the next BC to pass on to another lucky winner. This time red-haze.com won it, and it just happens to be SSue's size:
As usual, there were a couple of freak-bikes for people to ride and break. Unfortunately the "sidecar" suffered more breaking than riding:
Once again, a good time was had by all. Thanks to Sparty, Justin, Lee and everyone else who helped bring off yet another successful Barbie Camp!
