Sea To Sky Challenge






Sea To Sky Challenge



Cynthia and I rode the 'Sea to Sky Challenge 2007' with an outfit called Great Explorations - it was a 125+ kilometers of mountain biking. Perfect weather and riding conditions made for an awesome weekend adventure. These pictures show Birkenhead Provincial Park where we started the ride - throughout the ride we say very high water conditions due to a large snowpack (it was a great ski season!) and a late melt.

Mountain Biking Whistler




Cynthia and I spent this past weekend at the ranch in the Cariboo and decided to take the Duffy Lake road. We stopped in Whistler for some mountain biking on the way.

2006: Ringing in the New Year





We rang in the New Year by climbing a mountain on the bikes and a then a very cold Polar Bear swim in Lake Cowichan. Who says you can't play outside in winter!

You can see that Dave looks only 'slightly' fresher after a grinding hour-long climb up the logging roads. In some spots the grade reaches a 25 degree pitch - it's hard to believe that trucks full of logs go up and down these roads. I definitely earned my nap on New Year's Day!

Dave, Cynthia, Rob and Mike all went in the lake for the first annual Lake Cottage swim. I hope the lake never freezes on New Year's Day!
