Thrill Me Kill Me.. An excellent trail just north of Whistler, a trail that leads towards the entrance to Comfortably Numb, linking the trails can create a wonderful day.
After missing two months of riding, we are hitting some of our faves through the end of the season; taking them slowly with emphasis on smiles..
We’ve ridden these trails with full bikepacking gear, we’ve ridden them on bluebird days, we’ve ridden them on cloudy days under the threat of rain. We’ve ridden them slowly, we’ve enjoyed hard paced efforts. This was the first time that we’ve ridden them with Em at five months. She clearly wasn’t Thrilled, but I don’t think that she wanted to Kill Me (yet)
As we learned, core strength is essential to technical climbing; the source of needed power to get up the steeps, over the roots and rocks. Thor is making his presence known. Fortunately, once past the climbing, the joy returned..
Even coaxing a smile to her lips as the trail turned across this little rock outcrop in the sun…
Rolling a rockface. BTW, Thor seems to really like mountainbiking (and eating, and swimming, and laughing….)
Enough fun for Em to roll it a second time (allowing me to change vantage points).. Assume the attack position…
Concentration
We decided not to follow up with Comfortably Numb, and headed into Whistler for a picnic on Green Lake, and then a little scenic lookout from one of the bikepaths in town
In all, another extraordinaire day playing in BC. Our day didn’t go as planned; we found some of Emily’s current limitations, but we still had a wonderful day, and are tailoring the rest of our weekends to maximize fun.
