So summer has fully and completely arrived now, and it's wicked. Sure I might bitch about how it's "so damn hot" but I bitched about the rain too, so apparently you can never make me happy unless it's puking snow all night then sunny the next day. I'm pretty sure the temperature here reached "surface of the sun"°C the other day. Actually it's pretty wicked, I've been mountain biking a ton, and we've reached new heights of Bocce ball radness (including water holes).

 

Speaking of biking, damn is it fun. I've got a Brodie Holeshot that is great, though I do wish at times I had a full suspension (I'm not so smooth and the dualies kinda cover for me), and I bought my Whistler Mountain bike park pass on friday. It's so amazing up there, the Garbanzo chair expansion means there is 3400 vertical feet of mountain biking to be had on dozens of trails. Some of them get pretty tricky, especially on a bike not built for the park (mine) and I found that out on friday. After having an amazing ride, including "Original Sin" and "In Deep" off of the Garbanzo chair, we decided to do "Schleyer" on the lower mountain. I tried to take a "not so hot" line on one of the rock faces and managed to endo over the handlebars and land on just about every part of my body, including my hip, both legs, shoulder, back, elbow and wrist. I was very lucky that I had borrowed a full face helmet from Fanatyk Co bike shop, because all I remember is my face and head sliding across the rocks. Thanks Jon! First time I've ever really knocked my head too, guess I got a mild concussion, that was interesting. Oh yeah, and on a sad note, I was a dumbass and took my cool nerd phone up the hill with me, and managed to smash it to pieces when I fell. D'oh. Ah well, I got back up there yesterday and it kicks ass. Back at 'er again this week.

 

 

Have fun y'all!
