Sunday - 28 June - Starter Photo

Just to let fellow Fat Assers know that Neil Ambrose, Carolyn King and David Crerar successfully completed the West Highland Way Race this past weekend.  David had a great performance and so did we with Carolyn completing her first "almost 100 miler"!  It was a fantastic experience set amongest stunning scenery - yes, I am biased because I am Scottish!  Please see Carolyn's blog for full gritty details!  It should be noted that the course record holder for West Highland Way, Jez Bragg, is competing this weekend at Western States so that should be a good st

You are invited to the inaugural Rossland Run on July 18th, 2009. Distance options (approximate) are 55 km and 25 km. The course will be 95% singletrack with lots of climbing - and what goes up must come down. The starting point would be the Seven Summit trail-head (by Nancy Greene lake) and the ending point would be our place - 1817 Planer Crescent. Cold beverages and a bbq will follow the event. 

Long Version

It's been a fun couple of weeks seeing new trails! Dilly Dally yesterday at Butzen and Mt Slesse in Chilliwack the weekend before. Nice to mix things up a bit. Mt Slesse is the sight of a famous plane crash many years ago. The plane carrying some professional football players as well as regular folks crashed into Mt Slesse, but no one knew this or where the plane went down, until a climber came upon the plane. When we went there was still alot of snow, but in the summer you can see alot of remnants from the plane as no one is allowed to take anything out.
