Off to Vegas!

October 5, 2009

It’s been a great couple weeks at home after returning from the World Championships. The weather has been amazing, and this has led to some adventures. The most recent was an awesome camping trip to a lake that I had never been to, with my friends. There is so much to discover on Vancouver Island, and my recent purchase of a back roads map book does the trick! I have some good hiking trips planned for the fall.

I managed to get some good rides in on the local trails, which are in mint shape. There is something special about being on a ride and not having a race coming up. You don’t have to worry about your rate, ride time, intensity etc….you can purely enjoy mountain biking for what it is. I have never ended the race season this early before, but I really think it is good for next season.

I am off to Vegas this arvo and I am looking forward to it! It will be my 2nd visit to Vegas, so I know what to expect, and how weird of a place it can be. Following a couple days there, I am going to Santa Rosa for 10 days of great riding, and visiting with some good friends. Hoping to also visit the Specialized HQ and maybe get a ride in. For some reason, I think there must be some good trails in the area.

Big congrats to Burry for winning the World Cup in Champery. Definitely an inspiration and he is 2 years younger then me? Amazing!

I will send an update after Vegas while in beautiful California.

Cheers,

Max “The Mountie” Plaxton
