Yesterday was a great day, the heat wave continued with another day in the upper 30’s. We had learned our lesson the other day and planned on riding in the evening when the heat died down. We had been drawn a map of various lakes in the area and decided to find them. With the map in hand we set off on the bikes. Towels were not needed, as after a few minutes on the bike you were completely dry, and then a few minutes later you were soaked with sweat again and hoping for the next lake to appear…
After our refreshing afternoon, it was off to meet Penny and Duncan in Squamish. Although it was a little cooler out, we kept to trails that were hidden in the shade. A huge thanks goes out to Penny and Duncan who were excellent guides. There is something about a ride when you don’t have to use a map and not get worried about getting lost that I had been missing. The trails were nice with a good variety of terrain ranging from supper steep and tight descents to supper steep and tight climbs mixed in with some fast flowy single track trails. The trails were covered with cool bridges and rock slabs. On a sour note, Tyler suffered a twisted ankle near the end of the ride so send all your healing vibes his way. We are going to take the day off riding and take a ride on Whistlers new peak to peak chairlift.
We are getting excited by the prospect of seeing some fellow Islanders this coming week. It sounds like we will be meeting up with both Mr. Stretch and Andrew P, safe travels guys and look forward to seeing you both.
