Our Dog Days

Subo and us made it up to 7th for the first time in what seemed like ages last weekend. It was Ozzie's first time on that trail so I'd have to assume we hadn't ridden 7th at all last year.

It was like visiting an old friend. We all had a good ride and decided the next weekend we'd dial up another stranger.

We shuttled up to CBC and rode the classic CBC Neds lap. Another trail combo we hadn't done in years. Hats off to the trail builders. Neds and CBC both are now challenging enough to keep you on your toes, but have enough flow to make you feel like you can actually ride a bike! It was such a great day of riding, and just enough for the brown bear who was zonked when done.

Nic rides some wood work on CBC and Ozzie shows her the way to the bridge.

Sometimes when you find yourself of trails you haven't ridden in a while, everything can just click right in. I left the day stoked to head back up to CBC again, maybe in October. It was such a good ride!
Sunday we took our paddle boards up to Brohm lake north of Squamish. It took Ozzie just a few seconds to hitch a ride with Nic.These photos were staged, of course, but you can take my word for it. As soon as he saw Nic getting settled on her board he wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

My mind often wanders back to February 2022 when Nic was apprehensive about getting a dog. Yesterday he joined her on her first paddle in many years.  Ozzie has been a perfect fit for us.
