2011 interior road trip

8 days off, 3 destinations and no agenda but riding as much as possible.


Not many videos were taken, but here are all the clips from the trip along with some photos as well.

First day of riding at the bike ranch. My first Kamloops dry hills line. I'll remember this one for a while.

Loops dust makes for easy roost. Exhibit A

KBR is littered with steep, loose chutes like this one.

After one day at Sun Peaks and one at KBR, we drove to Silver Star, where we rode for two days before going to see some friends of my parents in Vernon.

After Vernon, we drove back through Kamloops to get some gold sunset light at KBR. The next morning we bagged a couple more shots before heading to Tsawwassen to catch a ferry back to the Island.

KBR gold.
Same shot, different angle.

The next morning we had a few hours to ride so we started with some shuttle laps before going to find some lines to shoot.
The dust was a far cry from the loamy and wet conditions on the island.
My favourite shot from the whole trip. Take away me and the vegetation and that could be the moon.
All good things come to an end. Sunset at the ferry terminal.
That is all.

Huge thank you to my parents for driving us and for enduring our whining when you missed the shots.
