Foggy Ride

by  •  • 0 Comments

Yesterday I decided to go for a quick solo ride while most of my friends were at work. When I got to the parking lot there was one other vehicle so I knew it was going to be quiet on the trails. Funny how many people stop riding once the rain comes… I was feeling pretty lazy and on the climb up I was thinking about my different route options. With no one to push me it was pretty tempting to slack off, but I’ve just signed up for the 2013 BC Bike Race and I need to build up … Continue Reading »

by  •  • 0 Comments

As we rolled into Fernie I could see by the clouds that a weather change was coming. The campground we wanted to stay at was full so we spent the first night in a motel. It was just before a long weekend so we knew we’d have to be quick to get back to the campground the next morning if we wanted to get a spot, especially since it was right at the bottom of a sweet trail network so it was the ideal location. The weather the next day was cloudy and cool. We set up camp and debated … Continue Reading »
