Fall at Tyax

So I've had abuse lately for not updating my blog- well my Summer excuse was that I was too damn busy enjoying myself but my October excuse is the opposite- not a lot has been going on- certainly nothing reportable really but here goes for an overview.

Summer was sooo much fun, crazy busy, eventful, hot and sunny, long days filled with lots of riding in awesome scenery and a lot of partying with the best of friends. It surpassed my every expectation by a long long way- but we all know Summer has to end and indeed it has and all that went with it has faded away too.

Not to say that Autumn (or Fall as they say here) has been bad - but it has slowly brought back the realities of life and new decisions to make. The weather has changed and my body is burnt out from so much riding, so I have not ridden as much.

The focus has been on the last few parties of the year, as we celebrated birthdays and then we said sad goodbyes as 1 by 1 they all left for their next phase of life whether planned or unplanned. For me its a waiting game to see whether my next step will be allowed or whether I'll just come on home.

Unforgettable times this month included Elisha's birthday bash- "A Ridiculous Outfit" party where some outrageous outfits were turned out. Unfortunately coinciding with our sad goodbyes to Judy.

Then Thanksgiving Turkey dinner and a goodbye send off to Chris and uncelebration of Jeremy's birthday.

Thanks giving day saw me head up to Cinnabar on an ATV with Andrew to take in the snowcapped mountain views and breathe the fresh air in deep.

Looking after Dusty the dog and taking him for a long bike ride Around the Lake and a long walk at Sucker lake with Nat on the most fantastic of Fall days, bright and warm amidst glorious colours.

Finally the last staff fling and movie night at Reg's with moose steaks from the moose he'd hunted the previous week- wow talk about fresh local produce!

I'm off to Whistler for a break and some last ditch attempt at riding trails here before the snowy season hits.
