At least someone's riding...

The cold is encroaching here in Wellington, and my motivation to ride is pretty low. Ratas has been laid up with some old-man hip injury, while I have no excuse other than wanting to stay warm. Meanwhile, in lifestyles of the rich and infamous, Col aka The Slug is in Canada, enjoying the warmth and some epic singletrack. Take it away Col... [Pristine scenery, but why do people leave their rubbish lying around?]
"SINGLETRACK GOLD that is. Miles and miles of it. Just across the river from downtown Whitehorse and only 4k's from our caravan park. A mix of walking trails, cross country ski tracks and purpose built bike track. And you can ride it all without restriction whether you be a Mtber, horse rider, walker, skier or whatever. And no interference from Parks Office. And fabulous tracks; up, down, smooth rolling twisty bits, fast downhill rooty bits, sandy bits, fabulous scenery. (dare I say frozen lakes and snow capped peaks). Even managed to trick Kelly into riding some of it. And followed by a refreshing ale at the end of the day."
Hands up, who hates Col....

We are finally getting some decent weather here on the US East Coast. Although the weather took a turn today and went back to fall conditions. We had good weather all Memorial Day weekend. Road about 180 miles all together. The Tarmac had mechanical problems so Monday's ride to Princeton was on the Langster. Now that everyone is in shape it is not an easy ride. Hopefully the Tarmac will be back in shape by the weekend.
