Every year Albertan's flock towards the British Columbia border during the May long weekend in search of warm weather and to let loose. This weekend like previous ones was filled with a typical forecast of showers and possibly snow... cause basically it always snows on May long. With three solid days of rain the dusty trails of Columbia Valley became tacky and slightly muddy. Whenever we weren't cowering away underneath the tarps we we're on the trails.

I was lucky enough to try out a brand new 2014 Specialized Demo for the weekend, that mixed with some good trail conditions it was a mix for some good times!

After all said and done. The trip went well and I will definitely be back for more shredding and hang out with this cute cuddly bear

look at those claws..... holy shit.
