Training Log Archive: Bomb

Rose valley. super smokey with all the fires, and we had the fire fighting chopper filling its bucket from the lake in the middle of the ride area. after yesterdays change with lots of storms with heaps of lightning and no rain caused the fires it was 16C with no wind today.
mostly good trails, but the black runs we had planned were so steep and loose that even dan found them mostly unridable.

The local trails from our place in kelowna. Super flowy. No view because of all the smoke. Got chased home by a storm that bypassed us in the end anyway.

Morning ride at pineview. Lots of twisty flowy trails. Nice change after some of the big stuff but iit would get boring top ride it too often.

O training at McQueen lake. Great terrain. Took a little while to very into the map at the start. I was a little nervous because there was a lot of fresh looking bear shit.
Running felt heaps better than expected given the amount of cycling in the last two weeks.

Late afternoon ride on the hill at kamloops between the temp dropping below 40 and it getting dark. Awesome flowy trails. Saw some deer and a gopher snake.

Westside trails at Williams lake. Bit of an adventure ride. These trails obviously don't get as much traffic as the fox hill side and there was lots of dead fall. Now have a whole new set of bruises from carrying my bike.
Only cattle and birds today, which is quite ok cos the signs atthe trail head said there had been bear and cougar sightings.

Late afternoon ride at Williams lake. Nice flowy trails. Super fun.

Big day out in the south chilcotins. Spectacular mountains. One of the best rides I've done.
No bears, but i think i may have run over a chipmunk.
