Snowshoe Adventure on Hollyburn Mountain

Submitted by Ean Jackson on 15 January, 2007 - 11:37
TV - Old one for videos
It's Sunday morning at 9:00.  I'm just coming off a cold.  Still feeling it, but it's shaping up to be a crisp, sunny day and I really want to get back on the running program.  My buddy Troy calls, "Want to go out for an hour on the snowshoes on Cypress?"  Humm.  That sounds not too aggressive and just about what the doctor ordered.

Trail Running Road Trip

Submitted by Geoffrey Palmer on 8 January, 2007 - 16:02

Hi Folks

I'm thinking about organizing a trail running road trip.  I realize that jobs/kids/school/spouses/other commitments might prevent some from joining me on such a road trip, so at this point I'm trying to determine if there would be any interest in such an event.

Although the specific details of the trip would be determined by the people going, what I had in mind was a 2-3 day trip, 15-20 slow miles/day to a destination in Washington, eastern BC, or the Island.  The exact dates and logistics will be determined by those interested.

Please post if you are interested.

Al Howie Was In Town....

Submitted by Carlos Castillo on 8 January, 2007 - 08:49
Last night CGP, Ken Webb, another Ken(raw food) and I arranged to meet the E&N from Duncan. Al was invited, by Harriers Joanne Cowan to stay the W/E in her Goose-side B&B (Cycle-inn).
 
I hadn't seen Al since the Harriers 8K, back in '99 -I think, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Yes he is thin, yes he still wares glasses.

My Sorry Half Ass

Submitted by Sibylle on 3 January, 2007 - 20:22

After last years epic 50km on New Years Day I had my heart set on a repeat, but alas it wasn't meant to be.  Despite an increase in our training runs, Michele, Pat and I just couldn't get our mileage up enough to realistically attempt 50km.  When the snow in late November and the storms of early December put a damper on some of our runs we finally declared defeat and aimed for the 25km distance.

Vancouver's Stanley Park Trails

Submitted by Ean Jackson on 27 December, 2006 - 09:37
Stanley Park Trails
On Thursday 14 December 06, a howler of a storm ripped through Vancouver's Stanley Park.  Winds of 115-120 kilometers/hour blasted the park snapping and uprooting 3,000 trees and causing extensive damage to the famous seawall trail.

This coming Monday 1 January 2007, I host the 14th annual »
