Back in the Saddle

These are images from my 3rd ride this past weekend. Arguably the most enjoyable. Ian would argue that with me, but Im pretty sure I didn't wreck my legs here. That honour would go to a full days ride at Whistler on Saturday. Ian and I pulled a little Old School No Variety, which is a nice way of saying we whored 'No Joke' all day. The night before was our first night ride of the season, here at SFU.

What made this ride so much fun was the casual pace set by Dave and Ilana. Dave has been MIA, busy with Family trips, and Ilana is getting in some progression rides with me and my crew. She's moving right along.
And she show's good spirit here smiling through an ouchie. I didn't see her tumble. I left her in Dave's charge and rode on ahead. Hmm, come to think of it, most of my wipe outs in the early days came with Dave looking on......and laughing. Sorry Ilana, won't do that again.
Dave likes to stop every 100ft or so to tell a different story.
Below is Ilana and Dave finishing up the trail.
