Ride 64
Sumas
Holiday Sauce, Extra Sauce, Emma Peel, CYOA, Police Line.
Went for a quick swing shift XC ride this morning. I rode the hardtail as the Enduro is in the shop getting a mysterious headset creak looked at. About half way up the drive to Batt Rd is where you entered the clouds. By the time you hit the parking area visibility was about 30 ft. 10 mins into the climb the rain started, and the higher you went the harder it got. Absolutely drenched I ducked in at the start of Holiday Sauce and proceeded to stay up right the whole way down. I can't saw enough how much I like the additions to Extra Sauce, any time you can stay off the logging road is good in my books.

Duck Farm Exploring.
Ride 63
Vedder Mtn
Duck Farm (up), Hobo Rd, Outhouse, unnamed trail, Duck Farm (down).
Went for an afternoon ride and did a little exploring around Vedder. I totally missed the entrance to the unnamed trail that connects to the Duck Farm. Spent a bit of time on a sweet moto trail called Outhouse. It would make for a very good XC ride if one was up for it.

Caught up!!
Ride 62
Ledgeview.
Ambidexcross, Lazy Boy, Tools of the Trade,Buttafuoco, Hidden Valley Connector, Flintstones, Spawn of Boulderdash, Autobahn.
So after that Whistler trip I went to work on Wednesday and Thursday. I was felling funny Thursday afternoon and by Friday morning the Flu and set in. After 5 days of feeling like absolute garbage I finally ventured out today. The plan was to ride the HT (Enduro is in getting a couple warranty bugs worked out) from the house and play the climb by ear. There are numerous points along the climb where one can duck out and head back down. Once I hit the single track I was starting to feel good and the next thing I knew I was at the cell tower. Now that doesn't mean my sinuses weren't clearing themselves the entire ride up. The vultures were out in full force today and the trails were running well. There was a motorbike on some of the trails again, at least it's being gentle and not roosting all over the place. I shot some video today. Nothing fancy jsut showing the weather, how grown in the trails are and the vulture cruising for lunch.

Whistler Bike Park
Heading up with Morgan and Chris for a mid week Whistler day. It was a super fun day. I managed 9 laps and could have squeezed in 1 more if my fingers weren't so cramped. No pictures.

Ride 60
Sumas Mtn.
Time Killer, TK Connector, Police Line.
I was planning on going up and writing the trail profile for Time Killer this day. Just as I rode to the Disco/Plum rock the heavens opened and it hammered down rain on me. I didn't mind the rain, but I wasn't comfortable using the camera in it. Managed to snag a couple pictures before it really got ugly. As I headed down Time Killer on my HT I was having a great time....until I flatted in the clear cut. There I was in the pouring rain trying to swap out the tube, great fun! Then I got majorly lost when trying to locate the new trail that by passes Time Out to get you back to the road.
