Bike Bike Bike

After 3 days of packing up and finding a home for all of our junk we finially were on the road. We spent 2 days riding at Kicking horse resort in Golden. We had the place to our selves. It was great to be on the down hill ride. We met up with an Aussie fellow at the campsite so the 3 of us checked out some of the more cross country trails around there. Canyon creek trail is pretty amazing. I'll send some pic's latter. Our night of our wedding anniversery was alittle creepy. We thought that it was going to be great having a quite camp ground but there was some tottal creep camping beside us who just got creepy'er as the night when on. We never saw him only heard him and I really think there was some screws loose. All I can say was come 11:30 there was no way we were going to fall asleep next to that so it was a quick pack up and we were out of there. We found a different spot somewhere in the bush. Ahhh the joys of living on the road. Well we are out in Revelstoke hanging with Mer & Dan. We had an awsome day out in Vernon at silver star with them riding. I'm left with a huge bruse on my ass from there though. We'll be out here for a few more days. We'll keep ya posted.

Some much needed Lake Life Time






We have almost come to the end of our time in Kenora. It's been a bit rainy but we have had some steller days which we took advatage of. We did some fishing. I think this was the most fish I've ever caught. 3 I think. Wahooo. Me and the 3 Dean'er brothers set off on a 2 day Kayak trip from Kenora to Miniaki! Was Awsome!!! Long days in the boat but enjoyed every bit of the beauty here! There was some wake boarding and waterskiing. I tried slalom skiing for the first time. Couldn't master the whole dropping ski thing so I was determined to try getting up on one ski from the water. After a few trys and plenty of mouth fulls of water I was up. Now if only I can clear the wake on the wake board!

It's official, I'm now a blogger

Well here we go again. After packing up all our things in Canmore and putting it into storage for a year we are off on another adventure.
It's been an awsome summer already with lots of racing and adventures. Highlights being; competing in my first expedition length adventure race in Crowsness pass ( Best of the West by J2adventures) placed 2nd. First place win at the Fullmoon in June 36hr Adventure race on team Cafe Express in Panorama BC. Race the Rockies 18hr adventure race with Cafe Express placing 1st out in Golden BC. One of the last weeks in Canmore I was fortunate to have the opportunity to ride and be filmed in the TV show Ride Guides which was show casing the great trails of the Bow Valley. We spent a week riding around Canmore, Banff and Lake Louise riding some great cross country, scenic all mountain and rippin downhill trails of the area. Not to mention part of the gig was sampling the cuisine of the bow valley. Yummm. We finished off the week of filming of the World's Solo 24 Hours of Adrenaline which I was racing in again this year in the elite women's field. It was an awsome race, things fell into place. With the incredible help and support from my pit crew, friends & family I finished in 3rd and took top stop in the Canadian's. Yahooo! I was defiantly happy to be on the podium this year as last year I placed 4th. It was now time for some much needed relaxation and lake life so our first stop was out to Kenora Ont. To stay and visit with Jeremy's family and hopefully soak up some sun and catch some fish?
