    Crazy Whislter Bears!!

    Time to go on a bit of a liberal bleeding heart rant, but I've heard this before and it really pi$$e$ me off. Why is it that because humans are able to put together cohesive sentences and have the ability to alter our environment to such an extent that it's no longer recognizable (we're are the...

    Crazy Whislter Bears!!

    Black bears actually come in lots of different colours ranging from brown to reddish brown to black. A black bear doesn't have to be "black". You're right about Grizzly's being more volatile, but as far as I know there are nowhere as many Grizzly's that range this far west anymore, and it's...

    I'm no longer fat!!!

    Agreed! I can easily fluctuate 5lbs every month so if I were to weigh myself everyday (and this is just me) I would constantly be either beating myself up or rewarding myself with chocolate :p - either of which would lead to further increases on the scale! I do use a scale but less often, about...

    Man tells women to stop being a btch

    Ha! I have a girlfriend that tried to give me similar advise when she found out I was going out to visit a "friend", and asked me what I was planning on taking to wear "out" (keep in mind I was going to a smallish mountain town - where exactly does one go "out"??). She was convinced that my NOT...

    Ummm..... yeah, that's what I thought... it seems like there's lots going on up here on here, but thanks for the tip on the other site:) I'll check that one out too!

    Yeah, I've heard really good feedback about Spokeswomen Camps - you're the 3rd or 4th person on here that has done it and said really good things. Thanks for the tip about Joyride, though. I'll be sure to take it easy:D And ABSOLUTELY keep me posted on when you and your hubby are in the 'hood...

    LOL, yeah... subtlety is often wasted, and nothing beats a little 'riding' innuendo as an attention grabber, even though it is getting a little overdone... ha! Actually, I don't think that's possible. I'll always find it funny:rofl: Oh yeah, that should have read "chuckles" not "chuckes"...

    PNWF seeking PNWM/F for riding pleasure...

    Thanks for the pep talk! I'm fine on the hill on my board, so that analogy works really well for me. And I'm trying to keep that in mind too. I remember when I first learned how to snowboard even the pitches on the greens intimidated me, but now I can go anywhere. I'm sure it will become the...

    PNWF seeking PNWM/F for riding pleasure...

    Hey Linda, thanks for the welcome! And you are so right about this forum. I kinda lurked around on a few different communities first and this one seemed to have the best "vibe", as well as a really good variety of information. I've learned so much just reading through a lot of the threads. I...

    PNWF seeking PNWM/F for riding pleasure...

    Good to know all of the above - it's the 'fear of the unknown' that's the worst. You hear so much about how crazy some the trails are out here, so I'm purposefully erring on the side of caution rather than overconfidence. But I think that's why I just gotta get out and do it, I might find I'mnot...

    PNWF seeking PNWM/F for riding pleasure...

    Just checked it out. It looks perfect but I think it's a bit far for me. Do you know of anything like that north of the border? Everything I've found so far in my area are multiday camps, which are great but a single day to get me started would fit better with my budget - especially with all the...

    PNWF seeking PNWM/F for riding pleasure...

    Thanks for the welcome! I can pretty much be in Whistler whenever my soul desires (yeah, my life sucks), but I was up there last week for work and kinda scoped things out a bit. It looks like there might be some easy-ish lift accessed trails, but I figure I might be better off to do a camp or...

    Thanks, I'll check that one out! I'm living in Squamish... err... Paradise. I don't know how I'm going to deal with all the rain though, I hail from a pretty sunny place. But so far I'm LOVING it here.

    PNWF seeking PNWM/F for riding pleasure...

    So, I'm new to the PNW but not really new to the Monkey. I've kinda spat out random posts over the last year or so, so I haven't really been much of a fixture, especially since I was pretty much a fraud not actually LIVING here;). But now I AM living here (read as: F*n YAY!!), and going through...

    Hunnie-tunes (silly pondering)

    Winter riding on my board - I always have tunes. Summer riding on my wheels - never. But that's probably because my comfort and confidence level on my bike isn't there yet. That said, there isn't a lot of wildlife that you have to worry about running into in the winter at the ski resort or in...

    Spokeswoman bike camp experience

    I'm doing the camp in a few weeks! Can't wait - thanks for the very positive feedback. It's always good to hear that other people have had a great experience, especially when there's more than one option. I'll be riding my XC so I'm so happy to hear that it will be fine for the purposes of this...

    Whistler bike camp...

    Yeah, it's pretty much the perfect location for me... close to Van for when I need my "city" fix, close to Whistler for epic winter and summer riding, and just as good riding and climbing right on my own doorstep. Plus, it's a little more low key than Whistler which I like. I can get into the...

    An Idea

    If you entered no one else would stand a chance;). I've seen some of the pictures you post on here and they're pretty good... not sucking up, just a compliment.
