boston bar to ashcroft.....a fined ride!

Chilling with the dudes on an amazing side road along the fraser canyon on the other side of the river. There are old ghost towns and old churches.Bone kicking his feets up.

We built this bridge over a washed out road with the materials we found on site.

Beau got stuck in this hole and tried to rev his way out of it, he ended up digging it out and making it almost impossible to ride over......thanks beau!

Willy and Pottie chilling on the ridge and scoping the twists and turns of the trail ahead.

Chalk lining lining beau as the dead man trying to steal all our money on the track to get flattened.
ps TL's key was NOT in his T! We had an hour long rant at this spot about T heven and the perfect bike.

Will salvaged panels from an abandoned car to help with the building of the bridge.

Pottie going pottie and watching the wild horses at our camping spot in boston bar on the first night. We camped in between the railroad tracks with trains passing 20 feet from our camping spot and a road on the other side.

bridging the gap with what we found, the following photos show how we conquered a washed out road that would have caused most riders to turn back.

we rolled the culverts into the river

Danimal did a great job directing traffic and supervising!

It was a team effort and would have been alot easier if we could have gotten the backhoe started up

Danimal still focused on guiding our progress and advising us on the next actions needed to complete the  bridge project.

Will brought the key components salvaged from a car

it started to really come together and the prospect of riding over it was scary

all the pieces are placed and it was go time

rollin

at around this point in the project an RCMP truck rolled up and we thought we were going to get busted and have our trip would be ruined. He was a super young dude and more then anything he was worried about turning his truck around on the narrow road. he bent up his bumper and left with our help turning around. he seemed impressed by our bridge.

LT with his rear basket style crossing the filthmode bridge.

we camped in ashcroft and there is a ton of amazing trails into the hills.

the trails wind around and are single track. great riding
