Longtime no Seymour (April 21, 2007)

Finally managed to hook up with another riding buddy: Cory "bag-a-cheese" Biagi, or just C-bag for short. Anyways it's been way too long since we rode together and it's been over a year since I've been riding at Seymour so finally I can journal about a ride somewhere other thatn the Woodlot. Of if we're going to Seymour we have to ride CBC, which we did, and the trail work was unreal. I didn't manage to get a picture of the rockwork on the upper portion of the trail but it was like riding a wave of paving stones! The bridgework aswell was second to non, which can be seen in the photos.

C-bag and I managed to flow the whole trail without coming across another rider, which is very unusual for CBC. Cory even managed to clean the skinny zig-zag section ( I wish I took more pictures). We continued on down the mountain and made our way to Boogieman which had just recently been worked on by NSMBA and cleaned up from the fallen trees of the winter wind storms. I havent ridden Boogieman in years and it was cool to ride it again and be scared of the same sections again. We came across Kim Steed and a friend of his riding some huge rockfaces and the end of Boogieman. I'll admit I was scared of those rock faces and chose the ride around route, which was not easy but less daunting. Finally we continued on down ol' Baden Powel back towards the parking lot. On the way to the parking lot we came across some people filming an add or something on the trail for what looked to be Sleeman's. There were two girls dressed up as german barmaids hodling bottles of Sleeman's. Talk about the perfect ending to an epic ride on the shore right? Well, they didn't actually give us beer but it was a pretty funny sight (again, why didn't I take a picture?!). Now what's missing from this latest installment of Jason's ride journal? Snow! Well wouldn't you know it once we got back to the top parking lot to get my car it was starting to snow. The end.
