Spring Is For Everything: Part 3

5/11/2014

0 Comments

 
After a successful weekend in Whistler with my brother Chad, we woke up Easter Sunday to a wet North Shore day. The girlfriends went for a jaunt through Lynn Canyon Park and we suited up for a classic North Shore Mountain Bike ride.

Conditions were perfect. The slow pitter-patter of rain provided just enough moisture to make for an excellent North Shore ride. Chad rode my always dependable Rocky Mountain Altitude and I took my new Element 29er for it's maiden voyage. We headed up Mountain Hwy., chit-chatting with Vince Beasse, president of the NSMBA.


The trail of the day was Expresso. With the work being done through the Trail Adoption Plan by MEC and the NSMB.com it has been hard to ride anything else.

Previous to this ride, my brother had only ridden the shore once. Just like our ride first ride, I'm blown a way at his natural talent. It's taken me a long time to get to where I am as a rider; I'm happy he can keep up, despite not living here.

Expresso Smooth, or is it a blur?

Near the bottom we bumped into Digger working hard on a new section. Stopping to thank him for his work came with a remark about how 29ers are gay. I might have to get used to that one.

Coming in hot, look out!

Hiking, skiing and now biking; the last thing to do was take the adventure to the water. Check out Part 4 of Spring Is For Everything, coming soon.
