Cross

I am sitting here editing photos, having a beer and reflecting on this past week and all the emotion and energy surrounding it. It was truly one of the busier weeks in a long while. First there's racing Sunday, Mical and I driving home Monday, working all week and squeezing in a few pre work rides, organizing and unpacking and lotsa figuring out where stuff goes best....as well as 8 bikes!! Take that and couple it with my fathers passing my mind has had hardly a moment to rest. If Mical wasn't with me this would be soooo much harder then it already is! She truly is the light of my day! She arrived right into a double header weekend of racing on the rock! I couldn't get Saturday off so I sent her out solo in Big Redd to find the farm. From what I heard it was a total slop fest!! And after seeing some pics I know why! She had fun and her bike and kit, even after spraying it off was more then a lil funky!! hahah. Jamie and Susan threw a nice social later that eve and we got to meet some pretty fun people and had a pretty good ole' time. Sunday means my turn to race and we couldn't have asked for a better day. 10+ outside and no rain or clouds for that matter. Course was super fun and uber challenging. Lotsa climbing and a long run up to boot. I struggled my way around for 5 laps of torture and mud and was sooooo fun. I even took home the 22min Lighthouse Beer Prime!! I am really enjoying xcross, i only wish i had of been able to get the whole season in. Next yr for sure. Tuesday sees Mical and myself flying back to FMM for just a couple days to say a final goodbye to Bill and put him in his place. Am hoping for some normalcy to arrive in the next few weeks, to get back on schedule and to have a routine again. I guess I can only wait and see.

Sept. 6/09

Sept 6/09 As I sit in the Calgary t int. airport I am troubled with thoughts of my upcoming few weeks. Going to see my father and brother in the H ha same time, filled with fear and anxiety. I have been in such great spirits lately, life moving forward in mostly a positive form, someone that I care for deeply, and whom I hope feels similar, riding tones and surrounding myself with people that are of the same attitude. Even work is good right now. So why……. With this latest development that brings me home it’s very hard to not start to take these things personally. I know that is a dumb statement and fairly immature, but just as things start to look up and start to become happy some unknown force just tries to thumb me down! Yes I am too sensitive and yes I am pretty hard on myself but yrs and yrs of it is starting to make me wonder. Even going as far to think I’m cursed because of an incident that happened Friday that actually I was not involved with or had any hand in ...

It is now January 2010 and the grey skies seem to be getting to me a lil bit! Mical and I had an awesome Xmas and New Year. The first of many to come just like that I hope! Lotsa riding, lotsa food and a few to many treats!! Hung out in Seattle for a day which was so nice, till my camera decided to have a shit....so we bought a new one! LOL! Lot of really neat spots there and I can't wait to go back when we can spend a lil more time together and the new camera will be joining us too!! Its now the 5th and she has gone to FMM to work to pay for the summer ahead. I think its a great opportunity for experience and she only has to work till the thaw, few months. And its a plus that she can go xc skiing there on time off. I miss her a ton and having an empty house again has made my mind become a lil more active and my body not! Thinking about dad, worrying about mom and Aaron as well as career confusion. No inspiration to ride or shoot. A skunky lil funk that will not last long, or I ...

2010 BCBR Day 3

Image
I awake thinking “holy crap, it’s already Day 3!” Not only that but I get to ride on a bus: then a boat. How sweet is that? It’s a bag style breakfast so we can grab the shuttle to the boat and I was thinking I may need more fuel then that. Surprisingly there was enough grub in the bag to get me through the day. This is one of those days were we need the little red race bag as we take a bus to the Courtney Ferry Terminal over to Powell River and trust me, you don’t need to wear a chamois that long unless your riding! We end up waiting at the ferry terminal out in the sun, catching up with Drew from Decline/Niner. He is from L.A and met him last year at BCBR and was stoked to see he made the long journey again. It goes to show you how awesome the trails are around here. Walk on the boat and its more relaxing for a bit. We need to get race ready on the ferry as we race shortly after getting off the boat. It’s just a matter of a short walk and trying to find your bike amongst 500 other...
