My continued trip to Moab was great! and I was going to post a few pictures but due to other events the last few weeks I've lost what I had of pictures, but will try to recover some shortly.
Meredith, Jen and Cody with Toby and Sequoia (the dogs) came down. And we all had some great rides and vacation time, and all agreed on our favorite ride being the Porcupine Rim Trail! even with some snow and lost wedding ring!! Though Jen put some ebay magic in works and so no worries! During our week in Moab we also got to enjoy the company of Steve and Karen, and I think I landed my self a great partner for the BC Bike race for sure! Looking forward to their arrival in AB so we can do a few rides!
Back in McMurry a few new events, first the spring event! NO SNOW! So I go to do the first few rides on hgwy 63 from work, though short lasting, as another event the last little bit was me ending my career at Petro-Canada. A lot of things played part of this decision but either way, no more "riding home from work", better even, I can ride whenever I feel like it!! A few hours of work until mid to end of June (that I can do on the road!) and then no work until August is very exiting! I started my "new life" with the AB cup in Edmonton May long weekend and doubled up with a AB cup xc race on Saturday and the 6hr enduro on 
Sunday both in Stony Plain. Great event! Fun course and I am very impressed with the utilization of land! That tells me there is hope for trails anywhere! But with 30 min laps 6 hrs was good for me! At this point my main goal is to put in as many hours of quality/intensity so I got what I was looking for. Thanks to Meredith who did a great job at feeding and supporting for the weekend, and of course the dogs who greeted me every time I came around! When back in town everyone was very tired and happy! Something to be said about home!

I had a quick changeover in McMurray, came home Monday night, spent Tuesday resting and repacking and took off Wednesday morning for Edmonton and Calgary. Today I spend a few hours at my old job and got some new tires on my truck, very much needed! Got in my first ride of the 
week, a pretty low key hour to pick up truck. I'm enjoying some time with Darko and Sophie and their very active little kids, both upcoming Canadian cyclists, watch out! The plan for the weekend is to ride lots. So tomorrow I get on the road with destination North Van for a Marathon on Saturday, then pack up and head to Salmon Arm for a 6hr enduro on Sunday. And hopefully next week I'll get some more midweek rides in as this week was a bit weak! Darko is still working on his assignment so we'll see if he will be up for the road trip in the morning!more to come...
Happy Riding!
