Beautiful British Columbia...

We have travelled to British Columbia, Canada before, but spent most of our time near Vancouver and the ski resorts of Whistler/Blackcomb.  The mountain scenery in British Columbia is incredible and exploring another route through the Province didn't disappoint.  Mountains, waterfalls, wildflowers and wildlife were everywhere to be seen, not to mention great mountain biking and the opportunity to celebrate Canada Day with the Canadians.

Instead of sharing pictures of the successful mountain biking runs Todd and Shonah did in Williams Lake, British Columbia, we thought we'd share Todd's bloopers.



Starting the teeter-totter...

This is going to be fun!

Looking good so far...

Getting ready for the totter part...



Easy goes it...



That front wheel should be a little more left...



I think I can...



Maybe...



That wheel is definitely not facing the right direction...



Uh-oh...



Maybe I should have tried a wheelie...



That dirt looks tasty...



If you fall off the horse, get right back on...



This looks like those guys in the biking magazines...



How do you land this thing...

I think it's called a crash and burn...

Kager Lake (near Burns Lake, British Columbia) also had some awesome mountain bike trails
