Whistler XC + DH Riding!

Ethan and I headed up North on Friday nite. Too late to buy beer for the campground, we hit the Grizzly bar in Squamish. Got into camp around 2:30 AM, so we bailed on the tents and just slept under the stars. Saturday, Ethan and I rode Kill Me Thrill Me trail just a few miles north of Whistler. Afterwards we capped it off with a few hours on Comfortably Numb as an out and back. Saturday nite was memorable :). We hit Earls bar in Whistler, very cool place and great food. We stayed at the Alpenglow, which I thought was very good accomodations especially for the low price that it was. Sunday breakfast we discovered that when you order a crepe, you get a crepe. Didn't matter, loss of appetite and this just made it easier to focus on the coffee. Once the coffee kicked in, we did too, and had a great day of downhillin at Whistler. I get a lot of comments by taking a Ellsworth Moment to the bike park, but wow, Ethan gets a lot of credit for riding the park with a 5 inch suspension. Finished the weekend up at the Longhorn before driving back to Seattle, got home super late but it was all worth the trip.

Middle Fork and Crystal Mt weekend

Clancy, Deb, Ethan, and I hit the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie, from the trailhead to Dingford creek. We spent a lot of time hanging by the river on the way back. At the end of the ride, we went for a quick swim in the river. A bit on the cold side, but totally necessary. We hooked up with Ted later for dinner and drinks at a local bar.

Sunday, Ethan, Alexi, and I rode up Crystal Mt clockwise, and then down. Afterwards, we shuttled up Corral Pass road to get another ride in for the day. We rode down Deep Creek. All I can say is, what a helluva great ride. Technical steep downhill, yet I was able to reach high speeds on it.

Tiger Tent Days

The BBTC had a tent out tonite at the Tiger parking lot, to enlist more membership. I mostly enjoyed hanging with several close friends having barbeque food and a beer. Then.... Chad and Justin decided to do a nite ride. What a great nite for it! Kind of an adventure to climb up Tiger with beer, but it was all fun. Chad and Justin encouraged me to try the big log over the gap on Preston, and I made it for the first time at nite! Finished the ride around 10 pm.
