Weirdness

This weekend has truly been a weird one. Jeff all the best to you and thank you for everything, "stay golden pony(tail) boy". With the demise of the Shawnigan Shredder, The hunt for a solid outlaw hill began. We set out with a two car convoy, from switchback at 730 am. A truly rediculous time to start skating. The convoy included some rad riders, and made for a very good day of skating. With Nick Jean, Luke Noland, Griffin Hopkins, and up and comers Jesse MacIntosh, and Matt Mclennan, and myself. We arrived at spot one Maple Bay, a BP's style developement outside of Duncan, there we skated fell and bodychecked each other until about 10:30am or so. After a healthy breakfast, we headed out to the race hill, It was soaked and covered in tree debris from wind storms past. A pretty good indication to the lack of traffic on the road, the hill even boasts a campground at the bottom...Bonus

Things kind of spiralled downhill from there, Griffin started a game of car tag, that lasted way to long, and I'll admit I lost. With a Car smeared with Chili and old deodorant, we headed to a recently paved logging road, in between Lake Cowichan and Port Renfrew. We had high expectations, and were let down. The 1km run had two hairpins that were butter smooth, however leading up to both corners and exiting were marbely coarse crappy pavement, this made things very slow, not to mention it was raining and snowing. After about an hour we called it quits and headed home for the day.

And so begun Sunday, I woke up to not knowing where my keys were. An awesome start, not so much, anyway out the door and off to work I went. I got back into town just in time for Sunday Sessions, armed with two go-pros Jesse and I headed off to Lost Lake, a classic Nanaimo run, to find it torn up and construction going on everywhere. We hit a few speed runs and headed to meet up with Tynan and Luke. Skated a while, and now here I sit at my parents house for Easter dinner.

A good weekend for sure and lots of footage, Hopefully a video will be up soon.
