We’ve had quite a bit of rain falling here in North Vancouver so getting out to ride has become a little bit of a hard thing to do considering I have a brother who doesn’t like to ride in the rain for fear of getting wet. I’ve never been able to figure that one out… Yesterday was no different and it was actually raining quite hard so even I was contemplating doing a workout rather than hit the trails. I soon realized that I shouldn’t even be considering training over riding a bike after not riding for a week, so we picked up a friend and went out to Cypress to get some wet weather riding in. After getting to the top, I was glad to say that it wasn’t raining. It was snowing… It all went downhill from there (pun intended) all three of us had some pretty good crashes and got very very wet and cold.

My two companions contemplating ditching me and taking the warm truck ride home.

Although we could wring water out of our gloves and our bikes were 10 pounds heavier with mud, it was a good day.
