Sedona!
As, typical, EJ and I headed to Sedona, Arizona for an extended Thanksgiving holiday to mountain bike, hike, eat great food and sleep in. Just a short 7 hour travel in the car from San Diego, we packed up the car, grabbed the dog and we’re out of town. It was great fun! We always… Read More Sedona!
Dreaming of the next Adventure…
I’ve been dreaming of all the cool things to do and places to travel in this world. As EJ coaches football… I’m pretty much solo for the fall season, which gives me plenty of time for myself. I’ve been riding plenty and have a few (small) trips lined up… but really, I’m itching for my… Read More Dreaming of the next Adventure…
BCBR5 – North Vancouver
July 11. North Vancouver is famed for it’s mountain biking. There’s a saying: The Californians created the mountain bike, but North Vancouver created mountain biking. It’s tough miles; super technical with rocks, ruts, drops, rollers and tight squeezes. As I’m not a super confident technical rider, I knew that today was going to be tough.… Read More BCBR5 – North Vancouver

July 9, 2017. There was a few days in the 7 day BC Bike Race line up that was dreading… and this was one of them.

BCBR – Registration and jitters
After traveling up the west coast with our bikes, arriving in Vancouver Canada…we’ve finally registered for the BC Bike Race! We’re still getting used to the fact that there’s daylight from 5.15am to 9.20pm, so I woke up early again today. During breakfast, we noticed that there were more languages and larger groups in the… Read More BCBR – Registration and jitters
BCBR – Day -1
We made it! Canada! And nervously anticipating the adventure ahead. After the long travel up from San Diego, bikes hitched to the back of the car, we crossed the border and checked into the Holiday Inn North Vancouver. I learned a long time ago, that although staying in a non-race/event hotel can save in cost…… Read More BCBR – Day -1

The last few days have been spent making sure that I had all the right gear. then, organizing and packing it up.
