7:30 in the morning.
Load-em up.
|
If you think that's
uncomfortable, you'll soon
be dangling 500ft in the air.
|
Heli in the background, ten
excited punters in the
foreground.
|
Sign your lives away!
|
And I thought the chairlift
was pretty cool...!
|
Artistic flair...
|
Bike loading zone.
|
Travelling in style.
|
Mike organised it. I think he's
pretty pleased with himself.
|
Up, up and away...
(Sorry, couldn't help myself)
|
You can almost hear the
Top-Gun quotes...
|
'This is your captain
speaking..' (Sorry - again)
|
Gas-turbine-powered taxi.
'Just here is fine, I'll ride the
rest of the way thanks.'
|
Cam looking a little stunned.
|
Was I really just in M*A*S*H?
|
Um... Maybe not.
|
Bike delivery for you Sir?
|
And we're on our own.
|
Aaah, the serenity...
|
Blackcomb is to the right
of shot.
|
Mike said his feet went numb
from the cold after
ten minutes of paddling.
|
Didn't stop George!
|
Pants. Yep, that's his real name.
|
The Wednesday ride crew.
|
Let's ride these things...
|
Finally!
|
Spud, tearing it up in
the dust.
|
Stopped to tape up Mikes
shoulder after he popped
it out for the sixth time
in as many weeks.
|
Did someone say dusty?
|
That's more like it.
|
Cam, a different
kind of stunned.
|
Log-ride in 'River Runs Through
It', which we did afterwards.
|
More wood...
|
Who thinks this stuff up?
|
And a swim in the lake
to finish it all off.
|
Next time I'm ditching
work and coming along!
