VIMB North Shore Trip April 2010

May 2nd, 2010

Loading up at the PnROn April 25th 2010 many of the VIMB.com regulars (affectionately and more commonly known as the Wrecking Crew) dog piled into a few Vehicles and headed to Vancouver’s North Shore for a day of fun and frivolity. There was by my count 15 of us that day, which in itself can be somewhat of a nightmare to organize. VIMB.com regular and Oak Bay Bikes West Shore front man Ken P got the vote (took control?) and became “Ride Leader” for this one. This was good for 2 reasons:

1. Ken P knows the trails, and every good ride leader should know the trails right?

2. Ken P is sporting a sweet mullet. Every self respecting ride leader should be sporting a mullet….right?

Regardless of hair style choices, the ride was scheduled, bikes and gear were loaded at the trusty Helmcken Park and Ride, and everyone headed for the BC Ferries right on schedule (fortunately they were on schedule too). » Read more: VIMB North Shore Trip April 2010
