Plan A was ride the Nic and Ted special in Squamish on Saturday. And we did but it was a frustrating affair. Near the start of lap, 1 Nic asked me about a noise her bike was making, and I spent what seemed like an hour trying to figure it out. Finally I realized that her cranks were loose and that I didn't have the tool to fix it. Having completed a conservative lap on Leave of Absence, Nic called it a day. I went on to do my usual second lap on Rupert when my dropper remote snapped. Thinking I could fix it later I asked for help in getting my post down, the guy helping me sheared off the remote itself from my bar. There's $70 bucks down the drain.
I was really looking forward to this ride and it just went south from the beginning. I was mad, and mad at myself for being mad. Jordan fixed Nic's bike and I bought a new remote at Republic cycles in Squamish. I'm getting pretty good at fixing my Raceface Dropper. The install took 10 minutes.
Sunday we woke up having planned a Fromme day but I wasn't going to let it go. We packed up and went to Squamish to have the ride we should have had the day before.
It was the right call. Our Sunday was perfect. We even stopped to take pictures. Something we rarely do these days but Nic said her Mom needed an updated photo of her daughters lunacy.

Ending our swim we got dressed and went back on Tracks from Hell going the fun way. Roller Coaster and back to the car as per our usual MO.
It's rare that I get to me in my own blog. I was really enjoying myself on the one and wanted to be part of the story. Here's me on one of my favorite rock faces.
Tomorrow I go back to work so I can rest.
