Ah Whistler... what is the attraction... on a MONDAY!!!?

Ugh. Looks like the lines at Disneyland... or Customs at the airport.

 

[Binhill1]

Ah Whistler... what is the attraction... on a MONDAY!!!? This is a busy weekend line up NOT a week day line up. At least it was 25 degrees with the trails that were open in good condition and not 35 degrees with dry and dusty trails. But with 1/2 the mountain closed down, one would hope they would reduce the price of a lift ticket. No sir! Full price for all at $95! First world problems! View attachment 92163

Unbelievable prices I had 10 days skiing there February . Then again its a massive area.

Whistler IS a massive place! Unfortunately with less than 5% of the lift access area open to bikes, it gets pretty busy with only 2 lifts open. But any day on the mountain is a good day

There is no place like home (Squamish)! We rode up to an old trail called Cakewalk which has recently been rebuilt.

[Tonybro]

Well, first ride after COVID, I was expecting to be out of breath quickly but, no, I don't appear to have suffered any long term effects and fitness hasn't really suffered after 3 weeks without riding so that's good news!

Thought I'd do a 'gentle' ride with some loops of Darwen Moor and Jubilee Tower. 16 miles (give or take a few yards), 2400ft, 1140kCals and hit 33mph down one of the rocky bridleways.

Still on the Green Hornet (Merida) as Rise is still waiting on last parts to arrive after putting it in for Service nearly 4 weeks ago.

A day out at Sherwood Pines (mostly off-piste) with @myapes (he's the one in the pics).

This is the one that he will get up one day. About 10 feet high with a "Z" shaped route, very loose trail surface, and a 5-foot drop into nettles if he falls away from the slope.

This was him trying to find the source of a mystery flat (it was a bead failure).
View attachment 92100

This is him reluctantly leaning backwards against a drop to show off how high it is. ("My top is clean" he claimed). If you look carefully, at the very top, you will see the deep groove created by the motor bikes that also use this drop, only they go UP it! We have both done this multiple times, but not recently since the motor bikes found it.

I had a sneaky day off work yesterday, loaded the bike in the van and went to pines. I did the red route twice then wondered off to have a look round, I ended up on Eakring road, lets just say the part I entered under a few bridges with burnt out stuff and fly tipping didn't feel to safe lol.
Is the off piste rides over this way or still within the park?

Today, @myapes and I were on the unofficial emtb area, (well off-piste) at Sherwood Pines and we came across a recent fire in the forest. Due to the low amount of scrub in that area, the fire didn't burn too hot and set fire to the trees. The forest trails appeared to have limited the horizontal burn. The area of burn is 5-6 times larger than in the pic below. We were there on Sunday and today is Thursday, so it happened between those days. The smell of burning was strong, but there was no smouldering or any smoke.

Not up to Australian standards, but worrying all the same. Within 20 mins we came across five policemen on their trail bikes. They are there to cruise the forest and catch illegal motorbike riders, but what they were doing today was training one of their number to ride his big heavy motorbike over a large log. He wasn't doing too well. The location was the same as where @myapes was looking for a puncture in post#7500. I asked about the fire and they replied by immediately asking me if I knew who had done it!

30+ minutes. Most of the problem is the top of moutain is still soggy from snow melt and with the other side of the mountain under construction, this lift (and the Gondy behind it) are the only way to get up the mountain. Its usually a 10-15 minute wait.

Thx

First ride out after nearly 5 weeks of ankle injury and working out why the bike was chewing cassettes ..the bike is now fine ..but I don't think the ankle would like another knock right now .
There was supposed to be four of us riding but one pulled out due to feeling unwell and Colin lasted until he used his dropper for the first time which then wouldn't return ..so then there were two ..but a good catch up with Dave and a nice ride ..with a bit of trail clearing ..
Dave ..

Lunch at The Green Bothy..scene of an infamous piss up a few years back when 4 of us stayed overnight..no booze today

Next up ..Allendale Moors on Saturday with The EMF & Jaco ..
