Pumpapalooza

June 12, Dabby's Pedalpalooza event : Pumpapalooza, an adventure in suburban Vancouver aka Nw Pump Track Championships.

New Belgium beer, pump track, antics.

Group ride with alleycat option meet at 1pm at the Paul Bunyan statue.

Finish and at : 1417 NW 103rd Circle, Vancouver, WA

If you drive with your BMX please park outside the cul-de-sac to preserve room for footdown.

"It was a hard choice building a pump track in Vancouver because I knew I would be riding it by myself, but it turns out it's really fast and really fun."

We had a fantastic trip to Victoria on my birthday weekend.

I like this photo of Mace getting his foot stuck in mud during a trip down the Hide and Seek trail at Sandy Ridge.

With Grace O'Malley docked at Riverplace, Dayglo Ponds are my front yard.

2010 Rickreall Open

The Rickreall Open will be July 16-18. More details to follow.

Build Day + Blackrock this weekend.

Picture two giant wooden ladders descending from this log, dropping about 15 feet into berms and jumps. Wade and Cory have a crazy plan to make it happen.

The Marty Memorial Platform.

The beginnings of dandelion wine, my first foray into homemade booze. I'm attempting a batch of IPA in the next few days, keep your fingers crossed for me, no one's ever accused me of being meticulous or detail oriented.

Farm Party + Sweet T's birthday

Dropping into the ditchstyle.

Here's Joel showing us a thing or two about siphoning.

Sweet T, getting ready to sell some shoes.

Dabby's sketchy start ramp finally caves in while Billy is riding it.

Natty had the most fun of anyone, acting as the fun police on a herd of dogs, Kalu, Inyo, Hodges and Bean.
Timmy doing a hot lap of the Berms of Endearment trail. Current world record : 13.9 seconds.

Scenes from a Deathmarch

Are gators the new tweed?

A quick fashion shoot before the hike begins.

Beefa poised for action.

We hiked to the top of Boulder Ridge. This would be a sweet picture of Mt. Hood if those clouds weren't in the way.

Mountain Mace.

Arbor Day

Cory and Wade came out to help with a problematic cherry tree.

Tools of the trade.

It was rotten at the base.

And growing into the gutters of the former dog pen and soon to be chicken coop.

Now the chickens will have a perch.

This log will be heating my hot tub in the winter of 2011.

What a pro.

Count It!

January 30

I had been planning on the 1st annual Tweed Ride, mostly based on the strength of this flyer, but am now leaning toward a sojourn to Seattle for the 4th annual Tapeworm Timetrial instead.
