Shane and I headed west for some fun - bike talk, downhill adventure, dinner at Boneta's in gastown, then the better part of the night/morning at the Lamplighter... which pretty much delayed the remainder of the "real" morning, wow. Super fun all around.
Two days downhilling at Whistler is building up my fluidity... feels less like a new sport now and more comfortable. Great weather both days although rain at night. Really starting to feel comfortable with flat pedals, everything on Freight Train (save one wooden gap up to waterslide style launch off) and A Line is now a warm up appropriate run and don't need to default back to warming up on Crank it Up, although that's a fun one too just to rail. Dirt Merchant had a few jumps that I coaxed into my sphere this time that were worrying last time - it's funny how many times I need to learn that no brakes and just roll it with speed is the right answer.
In honor of the weather at night, killed a few "dark and stormy's" on Saturday night and to wash down a surf and turf extravaganza at the keg with the whole gang. Somehow the night before caught up with everyone, and it was earlier rather than shut down Whistler evening.
We've been away from Calgary for 54 hours, awake for most of those, - it feels like a world away.
