Happy to say I am on a Ski Hill at the moment
December 29, 2009Christmas was pretty uneventful but in a way it was nice as it was quiet and I really did not get too much involved in the whole madness that Xmas can bring. Did get a few really nice gifts. A custom engraved flask is my favorite though. Thanks Trish!
Had a really nice pre Xmas dinner Wednesday with my grand parents who live not to far from Victoria on a beautiful piece of land in East Sooke. After the dinner Trish and I went to visit some friends who live in the same area. The one guy Marcus is an avid Mtn Biker. I was trying to convince him to get bike lighter then 40 pounds! Some people just don't like too much change. He is a wine sommelier so needless to say we had to stay the night :)
Got out for 3 strait great rides on the Epic Friday/Saturday/Sunday. That bike just keep amazing me, even in the hairy stuff that can be found up island near Cumberland. Last 2 days have been enjoyed on the new snowboard i got from my ever supportive dad. He has a condo right on the mountain and it sure is pretty sweet to be able to ride great trails down below and ride the snowboard just 30 minutes up the hill. Life is good.
I am extremely excited about the new Us Cup Triple crown series. I have feeling it is going to exceed people's expectations and it is going to put the F.U.N back into mountain bike racing. Stoked.
Headed back home to Victoria today, as I have an important meeting with the Mortgage specialist tomorrow. Weather looks good there for some riding to cap off the year.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe new years.
See you in 2010,
Max "the moutie" Plaxton
