Pre-Season Camp 2014

Lillooet.  This is our playground.  Some were missing but it just made us all work a little harder.

Day 1:  Towards Lytton

Shortly after this photo, Dr.Golbeck (Rocky-esque, shit eating grin and all) was accused of doping.  Refusing to go home, he proceeded to hammer us all mercilessly for the duration of the camp.  It was later revealed that his secret was well timed administrations of the whiskey flask.  

The (Really) Big Slide.  

Day 2.  The (In)famous Matt Barber climb.  What an asshole.  Gawd we miss him.

More Day 2, 3/4 in.  Who invited these characters?  Foreground: Lowball Loder.  Traitor but otherwise all around good guy fueling the tank.  Background:  Dave Gerth with a hot cup of Joe wondering what the hell he has gotten himself into.  The nicest bloke who will ever pummel you into wishing you were still in your mother's womb.  True Story.   

Day 3:  The innocent climb begining...

...the long, exposed, windy,...

...gravel infused road...

...that descends into the ice-walled canyons of Hell...

...followed by the climb to the Damned Dam.  

Good times.

World Hour Record

26+ kilometres.  102 years old.  Still crushing.
