well the last week is nearly over and the end is nigh !ending on a high though .280 runs in thepark final day of xc in squamish wednesday which was full on .mini epic on monday yummy numby hooked up with some locals who showed me their new unfinished descent .i know its not in order just what came into my head !!!
with the last 2 days forecasting rain probably not get in any more riding ,cause i cant be assed to clean up muddy gear !
so bring on uk riding then !see you all sometime soon .

well its been a while .access to tinternet is getting really difficult .julies been and gone as has mike .the adventure is coming to an end (wipes a tear )back in the uk 3 weeks monday (wipes another tear ! )but its been an amazing experience feel really lucky to have been able to do it (been kind of offered another season next year as well !)did a float plane trip in the chilcotin mountains followed by an awesome 4 hour descent , probably the best day i,ve ever had on the bike just trying to keep the vibe going to the end but nothing will top that .
thanks to friends who have been following this may get one more update in before the 10th of october take it easy one and all see you in the fall !!!

just a quick update ,been another busy couple of weeks what with crankworx etc .julie is now here and really loving whistler .finding plenty to do despite her broken wrist !!!as it,s such a ball ache uploading pics on here i've put a load of new ones on facebook which you can check out if you interested .crankworx was off the charts !!!!

here's a few pics from sunday's awesome world loggers sports in squamish .pretty damned awesome half day out .apologies for not turning 1st pic !but these poles are 80ft high and one guy set a new world record , right to the top and back down in 17 seconds !!!!!!they more or less let themselves drop back down free fall style !!!

check out the kid wielding the axe , his dad is a world champ and this little guy is just 4 years old !!!can you imagine elf n saafety in the uk having palpitations about this ?so it's not all about the riding there is also some pretty cool other stuff going on .though saying that things are building up for crankworx next week and i reckon thats going to be off the scale !!!!

we have been having some awesome summer days in the last week or so .in between work i,ve been mixing up the riding .had a chance to spend some time with a mate who is a bike park guide and he gave me some pointers to help my riding so thats going well .xc riding has involved ride first then to a lake for a swim then soak up the rays get dried off for the ride home .what a summer !trying not to think about riding back in the uk !a long way off yet .

trying to regain fitness lost to damn chairlifts so hitting the x.c. vibe .emerald forest singletrack on sunday followed by a swim in alta lake .packed with people soaking up the sunshine ,there was even a d.j out there playing some top tunes .glad i decided to do that the attempt to ride the park was a non starter .might be something to do with the house party at ours and going to bed sometime after 3 in the morning !just feeling every rough section had to give it up !the kids had mostly drum n bass and all that crap going so they were persuaded to let d.j wurzel lose on you tube and get some good old skinhead reggae going , went down atreat as well .
today was my day off and it went something like this .x.c in the morning before it got too hot did whip me snip me barts dark ,bob's rebob into river runs through it .just happened to pop me out at the lake so a swim was the order of the day !after dinner into the bike park and finally got my groove back on the beer on the patio of longhorns was the icing on the cake !!!!

had some more pics to add but blogspot is having a shit so these will have to do .good to be able to pose in the posh reception of the delta hotel at sunpeaks !!
