Yadda, Yadda, Yadda

'Ey up....

it looks like a very busy, yet awfully mundane lifecycle has reduced the postings here. However, there have been some bright points in the past month.....

A long weekend down in Whitefish Montana was had with Brad and Julie last weekend. We'd heard good things about the resort there beforehand, and loved the place in summer, so we were hoping for a good 'un - and it didn't disappoint - it was flippin awesome!!!!!

The piccie above is Wieble about to plunge down "Glory Hole" one of the wicked black / double black steeps down through the trees in the surprisingly good deep snow!!!! (you always know it's going to be one hell of a run when you can't see the slope until you slide the tips of your skis over the top of the run).

After the near vertical steeps, the terrain hit the trees - and here's Brad taking on the powder and some pretty tight turns at good speed - it was terrific! Nobody else was around, we could have been on a big backcountry day (but with our own personal lift service).

Brina joined us for most of the runs on the main parts of the resort - and had a blast (even the blue runs had deep powder and trees off to each side - you couldn't but smile wherever you went). But she did leave the boys to go and play on the blacks for a while whilst she warmed her toes and took on the essential sugars (via hot chocolates etc..).

I'm still riding like a madman, and the above piccie is from today's ride on the old boneshaker bike - I headed out for a few hours west of Cochrane and climbed up from where this photo is pointing (there is a gravel road somewhere in the trees there that I sweated up - despite the just slightly sub zero temps). This is out towards the Waiprus, and it was without doubt the perfect day for a ride (albeit a touch on the chilly side).

The speedtheory spin nights are still as tough as ever - I'm looking forward to seeing what it has put in my legs for this season (one feller snapped the front mech off his carbon frame this Wednesday in the spin night - such was the intensity of the power sprints we were putting in!!! - it's ace!!!).

Hope you're all bonny.

Two fingers up to the establishment,

If you ever get the chance - visit Whitefish,

May you all slide down the glory hole!!!!!
