Spotted a fire out near Jamison this afternoon. Looked like a decent sized one.

I'm guessing golf is out of the question this weekend…

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.

i heard people were complaining about the smoke hurting their chest today at work, meanwhile they were smoking cigarettes at coffee time and at lunch. lulz

and its to bad for anyone coming through anytime soon as it will probably be smoked out for at least a week or two…

Jeeze, unless you've got some major lung issues you can still do everything.

The complaining about smoke hurting their lungs is funny though.

forest is working in PG, and they've suspended logging operations for the last month.
