The 6th Annual North Shore 6 Hour Enduro kicks off Saturday May 10 at 8am sharp. The Enduro is a mix of climbs, challenging single track and easy foot paths, all on a 7.6km loop. Leave your gear, food & water supplies at the start/finish, and enjoy a loop. Fill up and head out for as many (or as few) loops as you like over a 6 hour period.

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay in getting this out, giving the play by play on a 34 hour run takes almost as long to write as to run. Let this be your warning - the report is not short.

I was wondering if anyone needed a lap or 2/3 run at the enduro next weekend?  I am planning on being in town if work cooperates with me.  The only guarantee I can give is that I will make it around.  I was planning on doing 2-3 laps anyway and willing to do the run as a team member if anyone else wants to run some of it.

     Last week, filling up my gas tank cost me over $50 for the first time ever. After paying, I got to thinking about how I could reduce the amount I drive to save a little dough. It didn't take long to determine that there are very few (if any) things that I need my car for. I could bike/transit just about anywhere I go. So I challenged myself (and anyone else who wants to be challenged). The challenge: No car, all summer.

 

Saw my first black bear of the season and thought it deserved an entry.  I was running on one of my favourite trails out of Pemberton and came across a young juvenile bear.  It (I didn't think it appropriate to determine gender)as walking up the trail as I was headed down.  We eyed each other up and he decided I was more imposing/impressive?!  It may have helped that I was dressed in black as well.
