When One Season Ends........

XC season is over, excpet for the Snow 80 of course.

It is now time for what I call Phat and Sassy season. Cross season and riding for the beer at the end of the trial.

Apparently this is the best beer in the world.

Jason ordered and received a 6 pack for over $80. hand crafted by Monks and sold in limited quantities you usually have to wait years. The Monks are renovating and need some extra splash cash so....the are selling their ultra beer to heathens like Jason for working capital. Thoughts on the beer: I don't think I am the guy with the authority to call something the best in the world but, for all it's darkness and flavors, it has a grounded initial taste and no heavy lingering bitter taste of an 8% beer. Best beer I have ever had that is for sure.

Rode in Ont. on our vacation at Buck Wallow. Great home grown bike park. big perimeter trial with lots of 500m-700m inner loops. Interesting thing about Ont. riding, I would not call it aerobically challenging in the way we out in AB sit on a climb for 10-15 mins. It is so tight, with roots and rocks that you actually have to "ride" your bike. As Alana said "could use some time there" to learn tight flow.

May play bike polo, may run, may road ride, may swim. Hey, it's not Aug. it's May!!


We jsut got back from On
