The North Shore Mountain Bike Association is alway working with the Distict on trail useage.  The NSMBA has alerted its member about the up coming changes to the Fromme mountain trails. If you run on Fromme mountain you might be interested in the changes to the trail usage on the mountain.  I took a quick look at the report by the district and found it interesting.  There is lots of maps in the report and details about all the trail on Fromme mountain.  

The following is from the NSMBA newsletter. 

WHAT? A run in and around the Capilano Canyon followed by a descent of the Capilano River from Cleveland Dam to the Pacific.

WHEN? Tuesday 1 July 2008 (Canada Day) - 10:00 am

There was a great write up about The Brick in the Sea to Sky News.  Go to http://www.stsnews.ca/ and click on Sports.  There is no dedicated link, so I assume this is  a time limited post (just in case you can't find the article).

So the "Monty" is looming and from my recent exposure to the Squamish region, the Monty hills are shorter, and the trail a real "no brainer". I am hoping to start the Full Monty at 7:00am, be at the turn around with water and stuff. Get back to the start to marshall the 1/2 Monty,start the short run, then run sweep! Sounds like a "Fun" way to start the day! ILTS!

The fools are at it again. While they are not all here in Squaw, the few that are have decided to commemorate the WS 100 miler cancellation by logging a few kilomters in this scenic area.

Where / Route: from Squaw Valley at the official WS start line to Tahoe City via the bike path and back

Distance: Approx 25 k return

The Western States 100-mile run is the grandaddy of all 100-mile runs. It started as an endurance race for horses along the old gold rush trails in California.  35 years ago, the first human challenged the field. The horse-racing history of the WS100 is why a lot of trail ultras have gaudy, big belt buckles as finisher awards to this day. To those who run 100-milers, 'States is the run you want to at least once in your lifetime.

This past week-end Ms.J and I, went to Squamish to take part in a training camp over two days. This kind of back-to-back session is know as a "Brick". A group of "fatassers" had planned to run. The first part one day , and the second part the next. This would be on a 50 mile course of an up coming race , the "Stormy 50 mile and 100 mile Ultra marathon". I am registered to run the 100 miler so I figured that it would be an ideal chance to familiarise myself with the terrain. That it was! I ended up running my 10 hours per week of running in two days. ILTS!

Sunday Runners (Left to Right): Rick, Steve, Carlos, Tim, Rea, Bill and Dave

I last saw the fools last night at the 30 mile marker and probably will not be able to see them until the finish. I have loads more pictures that can be seen at

I will be updating this page regulary. The internet is a bit slow so the pictures may be slow in coming.

Karl was in the lead. He looked great and was having a really great race.

John was also looking good and was in good spirits.
