Friday night the guys tossed on the head lamps and headed out for a night assault on Mt. Benson. They were breaking trail, bush whacking, and using a tracking dog for route finding. They made it 3/4's of the way, and got a fantastic night view of Nanaimo before having to turn back. Great effort and a good time!
Saturday we hit Parksville's awesome mountain bike park (the AMC trails) for a mountain bike ride. Jeff modified the handi-cam (ha! handi-cam) to make it a helmet mount and voila we've got video footage (stay tuned for that post coming your way soon!). The ride was followed by an superb trail run up along the slopes beside the magnificent Englishman River. It's always an inspiring run when you've got more dogs than people!
Sunday 6 of us crammed into Big Jay's big truck, yay! going green
car-pooling! Ok, so some debate about the carbon footprint on that one, but really... 6 of us in there has to count for something! Anyways our destination was Mt. Washington and a great day was had by all. We ran a few laps of the Yeti course on the snowshoes, what a great course! Next weekend's race up there is going to be a blast! After loading up on double chocolate chip cookies back at the lodge, we hit the ski trails for a few hours of skate ski heaven. The trails were in fantastic shape.
Great training team! Yeti 2008 here we come!
