You should rent a car can go to Whistler for the day - it'll be worth it.
been to whistler for 1 week trips each of the last three years. agreed, it is worth it. i am goin' again in august for another week. i am trying to expand my riding resume and lay down some rubber and leave some blood in some new spots.

oh yeah http://www.weather.com/activities/other/other/weather/tenday.html?locid=USWA0395&from=search_10day says that the weather should be good. what are the trail conditions like up there right now? does the rain keep the ground soaked all the time, or do things dry up every now and again? i am running a panaracer fire dh for my rear tire right now and have heard that those tires suck for the muck when it gets wet. i am also running a big earl 2.7 up front. should be fun to see how that bad boy hooks up.

thanks for the offer, but i got no ride. i guess i can get a rental car if need be. it was not part of the plan, but if i cannot get a monkey to show me the way and give me a ride, i may just need to get a truck to run around in.
