September stories...

Not much news from up north. Rich just had 5 days off & has gone back to work today so that was a nice break for him, although he was working from home most of the time.. We hit the downhill bike park again yesterday which rocked, managed to go down some harder trails & do some tricks through the intermediate skills park. Rich even got some big air off a few nice kickers. But seeing as we don't have full face helmets, full body armour or full suspension bikes like everyone else, we have to take it a little easy.. We gotta be purring when the snow season rolls around!! The weather has taken a little turn in the last few days from the slightly Groundhogs Day-esk blue skies & sunshine all the time, to overcast & a little rainy.. this may be the dark abyss of October coming that people talk of.. never ending rain and misery, but with a happy ending of SNOW SNOW SNOW!

oh and the cheeky Mr Squirrel below has become a regular house guest, going even as far as jumping & sliding his paws down the window when we have the door shut to get attention. There's definitely something weird going on with the animals in Whistler. If it isn't the squirrel jumping at the ranch slider, it's 2 blue jays (birds) stalking back & forth along the deck handrail staring in at me while I work...Very Dr Doolittle, but freaky all the same..
