Peak to Pub | Cardrona Bike Park

Every 4200' descent should end at the pub. Throw in 50 of your closest mates and you have a party. #followcamfriday mini Megavalanche practice. 

Every day at closing, Cardrona Bike Park does a little thing they call "Peak to Pub". Basically, you send it from top to bottom with all of your friends and grab a beer in the valley below. We may have had a 60 person train going. The bar, which is apparently the oldest in the country, was closed for a wedding unfortunately. Instead, we ate ice cream. Congratulations, newly weds. 

Yes, Matt Wood is wearing a KFC kit that he paid 29$ for. TLD pj's got nothing on the Colonel... And yes, he is passing Tom Sampson on the outside for good measure. Seems appropriate when dressed like this. Fried chicken gives you wings. 

Moisture levels on fleek. If you look closely, you can see roost hitting me in the face from Tom's rear tire. Right where you want to be. Stoke levels are already dangerously high. Throw some hero dirt in the mix and we are reaching critical froth. 

Rule number one of riding with your friends on wide trails-  Make as many salty passes as possible. You are next Ben Duke, I'm coming for you. Once I get past the Colonel, that is.... Glutenous amounts of fried chicken have left little room for passing. Good strategy. 

French lines in the fog. There really is nothing better that I can think of than riding 10 wide down a hill. Witnessing your friends almost rag-dolling in every direction is absolutely priceless. Patiently waiting for that wheel-eating hole to come out of nowhere. Seriously, this will be burned into my memory for ever. 

Just 4200' from here to the bottom. What could go wrong? No-one even flatted... I will try harder next time. Keep it locked right here for more NZ action. It's still snowing in Colorado. Sure is hard to film mountain bike movies when I am skiing...
