Festivus of Gear

Well, it's been an exellent couple of days. One of the supporters of Team NFI made a gear donation to the team. The gentlemen gave the team a new Fox Flux helmet to try.

This was so unexpected plus am celebrating the cost savings. Now all that is needed is for the special projects team to finish the present special project they are working on. Having a meeting with them on Tuesday to finalize some details.

On the other front, am meeting with both my coach plus equipment tester. Have to plan out the coming weeks training.

Distractions

Been a busy couple of days with Gabriele and such. Haven't had much time to post. Especially since we are at Joely's Aunts place for the week.

Have been riding and have found a potential DH line. Plus have pretty much got the Chromag Stylus set up the way I want it. Will post up more with pic's later.

Into the void

Tonight dusted off the headlamp to do a night ride. It's been 6 months since the last night ride. I should do more. There are skills one can gain from riding at night, the ability to see things at a glance.

Though the bonus of getting away from the relatives is good to.

That Was Fun

Today was another hill climb day. Decided that that some overclimbing was the ticket today and went to Ben Trash to settle the account.

The goal was 10 intervals up the acces road. The road takes about 5.5 minutes to climb. Kepr a good cadence through out with only some minor difficulty in the middle.

When I got home you could see the salt stains on my shorts and jersey. Signs of a good session.

The only downside was the fact my helmet which is a dirt jumper style does not breath at all. Still waiting for some more money so I can buy the Fox Flux I want.

Anyone got a Handlebar Weed Wacker

Did a 3.5 hour ride. Checked out a couple of trail areas I haven't checked before.


Nice meadow



Last time I was here there was a path.

Taller then my forks.

Time for Some Changes

Today was thinking about if I wanted to do some races again. I have come to the conclusion that I do want to do some races again.

So after meeting with the team and support staff, whom have agreed that the time is right. So since I have been given the green light, woo hoo. The plan is to only do select events only for fun and one's that offer a bit of a challenge.

So have called the coach back on board and will be meeting during a ride tomorrow.

Also will be working on a couple of secret projects to go along with this. The secret team will be gathered shortly.

Let the pain begin.

Riding With Friends

Hooked up with my buddy to show him the trails near the house today. He had never ridden the area yet lived in Toronto all his life


Part way on our journey up.

Looks so peaceful

Almost back.
