So today we got word that it was raining in Vancouver so the call was made to ride in Squamish. Tristan and I loaded up the truck and headed to Squamish to meet Berend and Evan and go for an XC trail ride, it would be the first ride for me in 98 days! The closer we got to Squamish the less snow we saw on the road side but it began to drizzle more and more. Rain wasn't going to stop us today though. We heard from some other guys that the higher trails were still a bit snowed in so we headed to the Alice Lake trail network which had barely any snow at all. I was super excited to get riding again and after a quick stop in at Canadian tyre to buy a sweet $20 skid lid I was ready to rock.
The climb we rode was really good and I was feeling quite fit, i'm glad i've been putting the effort in at the gym and I feel on track for the race season. The decent was so sick too, fast, tight, rocky, rooty, wet, a lot of fun. I had the Go Pro with me so we got some footage and I put together this quick edit. Enjoy...
More riding tomorrow, yeeeeeooooooooooow
