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.
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!
I am going to do six hours of trail work on the Sea-to-Sky Trail in North Vancouver. This is the trail that follows the Dirty Duo course from the start to the junction with the Baden-Powell trail. If anyone wants to join me please let me know so I can arrange to have enough tools and materials available.
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.
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.
Through my work, where we provide non-profits and charities the capability of accepting and generating online donations, I have a great opportunity to connect with some extraordinary people. Some of these people are doing amazing endurance events and I find these stories motivational so I'd like to share some of events with you from time to time.
