The ladyfriend taking the baby on vacation means i got to ride two days in a row. Rode some local trails i hadn't been to in a while and they were so much more fun than i remembered.

Haha.. course was only announced today, and almost all my practice riding was waaaaaaaay off guessing where they'd set the routes. Except for this:

I've tried to ride this trail 4 times over the last 3 years, but something always foiled the plan. Its a bit out of the way. Praise the FSM that I happened to finally manage to ride it last weekend. It is THE LAST trail I expected them to include in the event. It will be spicy.


I'll be happy if I finish. It'll be a big day on the bike, with a lot of opportunity to break myself in half.

Add to that a "mystery stage" announced on race day where I will most likely be riding totally blind. Oughtta be interesting.

Good luck Sir, Squamish looks amazing. I still hate myself for only being able to afford a BMX bike when i lived in Vancouver.

Damn good ride today, 46 miles, Johnson Pass out-n-back. Weather cooperated. This has lots of water-crossings and mud-holes, so your feet don't stay dry, but no snow and vegetation hasn't gotten bad yet.

Tomorrow I have a 36 mi gravel grinder race and my legs are going to be absolute jelly. I may just ride slow and drink beer.
