Fall in Whistler

So I needed a break from Tyax (can you believe I said that!). Well i had been there for 3 months when I expected to go for 6 weeks!
My hair was getting too thick and long and a touch of cabin fever was starting to hit. Once my friends had left it seemed a much lonelier place to hang out despite the awesome scenery. What's that saying "Happiness is only real when shared!" Hmmm.

So here I am in Whistler again. It's not quite the same either, the bike park is shut and most of my friends gone too but there are a few left and the trails outside the park are just as awesome as ever and a little more challenging when damp from the rain.

So I've been out to ride all the Lost Lake trails, then Emerald Forest to River runs thru it to Bob's Rebob to the new "Get Over it" trail. I also decided to do a long mileage trail not so technical or adventurous but to get the legs really spinning and heart and lungs working. I rode the Sea to sky Trail from Whistler village along the valley trail to Function Junction and then thru teh Olympic Village at cheakamus crossing and onto the gravel trail. I rode down to teh Cheakamus suspension Bridge and then as far as I could towards Brandywine Falls where the trail seems to disappear so I gave up and came back. Glorious fall day and nice to get the body really moving.

I feel refreshed pedalling in a different venue again and with a new haircut and some new winter clothes to wear. It's been a good week but now my thoughts are turning to the "What Next"- "Que sera sera CK- wait a bit longer and see!"

Meanwhile Vancouver for the weekend! Yay!
