Fourteen riders turned out for the Dewdney ride. The Dewdney Trail is a historic trail that made it's way across BC and is a part of the Trans Canada Trail. The ride involves some climbing, 12 kilometers to be exact, but that did not stop the Holy Wow Gang. The promise of buffed single track motivated a large number of riders. Maybe the shuttle ride up had something to do with it, because I did not tell them I had cold refreshments on ice in the back of the truck. The slog up the Cascade Highway took about 50 to 60 minutes, and the gravity gods were well satiated, so all was good and ready for the descent.
The Dewdney can be rough, but because it is early in the season for this ride, expectations of a smoother ride were high. Well the good old Dewdney did not disappoint, it was the same as it usually is, ROUGH but FUN. This is why they invented suspension. Great ride to test your new setup.
Needed a volunteer to wear the Go Pro, but no one was stepping up, so Antonio(as Murray calls him) reluctantly let his name stand. I knew it was going to be good. We had a few technical difficulties that led to Antonio's first part of the ride not being recorded, but the clip we did get is awesome. Enjoy!!!!
See what I mean, and the refreshments were on ice at the end of the trail to cap off a perfect Dewdney experience.
