Work MTB ride on some of this weekend's Test of Metal course. The pace was pretty tame but it was good to scout out this weekend's racecourse. We'll see how it goes.

Another crusher of a ride. We left from Quest U and rode to the dead end of Paradise Valley. The road is in good condition and there really aren't many cars. However, it's not as though I could look at much of the alpine scenery around me as I was &/$;)'ing my a$$ off trying to keep pace in our 40+ kph pace line. I cracked eventually and went solo, riding along at ~30 kph instead. So much more civilized, non?

...and so that's what it's like to ride with proper roadies. Holy sh!t, it was high intensity riding from HQ to Quest University this morning. If there was a section that 30kph was my normal speed, we were pushing 40. I hung on for dear life and made it. Goal achieved. Sea to Sky highway in the rain isn't the most confidence-inspiring route but no jerks on the road, thankfully

Good "discovery" run atop the Seymour peaks. There is still quite a bit of snow at ~1,300m but it was good fun to run and slide amongst it. The cloud rolled in, making for difficult visibility, but I really got a sense of the terrain up there. I'll be back. N

C • Ummm... The term is... 4

The latter part of this work week and less sleep than I should be getting caught up with me. I had zero jump in my legs and I felt like stopping on the side of the road for a little nap. However, I had a window of time so I climbed Cypress and managed to avoid the rain the entire time. Off for a nap...zzzzz
