It never gets old.

The quality of my phone's camera pics still suck, but the riding in Lillooet is always the best in BC.  T-Shirt Sidic was spotted riding in from the Duffy, mouth agape at the descents and scenery.  Late Spring/Summer camps pending...

Seton Lake.  Turqoise green and glacier cold.

The top of the dam at Carpenter Lake.  

Still windy as hell but so much better when the road isn't ice 
and your bike has both brakes.


The spring melt is on.  The waterfalls up high on the Duffy are in full effect.

Bike Doping


I've been on my 2014 race bike, an Argon 18 Krypton, since Febuary.  The first time I did the team ride on it Cory said "I hope mine makes me that fast."  This is Bike Doping.  And now the Pirate fleet is complete. There will be five of us out wreaking havoc on our assortment of Galliums and Kryptons.

In four wknds of Spring Series battles the new rides have already found the podium three times.  More to follow...

DEVO SR 2014



Sara taming the snake with pros Laura Brown and Jasmin Glaesser.  A big thanks to Scott Robarts Photography for the great photos.

Sunday was day 2 of the stage race which saw the kids facing the dreaded Snake Hill RR.  Sara finished 4th in the RR behind a couple of pros in her first women's race!  This put her in 3rd overall on GC and into the leaders jersey for Cat 3/4 women in the BC Premier Road Series.

Sara's first women's RR and her first break.  Pretty good company...

Jen was a huge help to her rookie teammate all weekend and finished 5th overall to put two Mighty's on the podium.  Sadly she was beer fined shortly after for forgetting her podium jersey...

Ryan had a great 7th place RR finish after patrolling the breakaway for Cory who sat in 2nd overall on GC going into the RR.  Full results here.

Final GC podium.

Leader's jeresy's for the BC Road Series.

 EV Stage Race 2014.  Stage one: Aldor Acres Mud Crit.  Sara snagged 3rd behind a certain Olympic medalist.  Cory was 3rd in the Cat 3 men and almost stayed on his bike for the entire thing... Don't ask.

Will update full results after The Snake.

Our favourite Irishman finds the podium on the day of Guiness.  Don't be fooled by the Musette kit, he's just a Pirate in disguise.

More Lillooet pre-season 2014

More pics from our fun in the mountains.

Day 1:  Meat and Lowball.  Together again.

Day 2:  Sun.  Really.

Day 3:  To the dam.

And higher.  Ice Road Bikers - the new series coming to Discovery.

This was the view back down the road from the top of the damn dam.

Cory talking shit at the dam 'finish line'.

Water bottles frozen.  Max, Sarah and Kash duly impressed.

Sarah - so excited to complete her first Mighty training camp.  Or perhaps utilizing some weird calisthenics to stay warm while Cory fixes a flat.  Luckily the only one of the weekend of gravel and snow fun.

On to racing.
