What a busy week!

November 30, 2009

What a busy week! I have looked at more then a few houses out there. It is not the best time of year to buy a house, but it is a good time to sell a house. This should mean I should have no problem selling mine for a decent amount. Needless to say, it's a sellers market out there.

We've had a few really nice days lately. I am pretty sure November will be one of the wettest months on record. There are waterfalls in some really random places out in the hills. I squeezed a couple really good trail runs in on weekend. Trish and I were going to go up to Mount Washington for opening day, but the forecast called for rain so we decided to put it off for another time. It is supposed to get cold again here with means it will be sunny, and no rain but up at the mountain it could be good. It would be really nice if we got some decent weather to dry up some of the trails to get some riding on my Epic in. I'm sad to say I have not rode the bike since the World Championships! In a way it is good as I will be that much more keen about training for the upcoming season. It is tough doing a bunch of trail running on certain trails you ride your mountain bike on just knowing how much faster you could be ripping it on a bike. Soon.......

I have been hanging out with a lot of friends this last month as well and catching up. It's great being at home for an extended period of time and socializing. Got to say we have had some great dinner parties here at my place lately. We have made some amazing roasts courtesy of a good friend who works on and off in Northern BC. Every time he comes home he brings back a lot of bison, elk, moose etc.... It's all been hunted down so you could pretty much say it's as organic, free run, free range as you get!

It has stopped raining and time to get out for some training. Last day of November and I hope December brings more days on the bike....

Cheers,

Max "The Mountie" Plaxton
