Time here is flllyyyiinnnggg by

It has been quite some time since I have added to this blogg! I wont get slack though. Over the past few weeks we have been trying to get up to the mountain as much as possible, even if it is only for a couple of hours. Makes it difficult as the nights out here end up rather large and sometimes find some of us waking up at 7 am in a hot tub wrinkled like white prunes!! haha.
Dennis, Stu, Lehan and I did another Banff trip before picking up Lehan's brother and sister in law from Calgary which was fantastic to catch up with that crew over a drink or many. The trip to Calgary and back to Fernie the next day was painful. I was crawled up in a ball in the back of the van unable to deal with life. We picked up Kristian and Greta from the airport and on the way home were pulled over by the cops for a speeding warning...meanwhile i was covered up in the back not moving or breathing so he didn't see me! Luckily we were off again, back home and back to my bed where unfortunately I stayed for the next 4 days, sick,  my late nights had finally caught up with me.
A Few dumps here and there with warm weather to follow. It has been pleasant riding in conditions where your toes don't feel like they are about to snap off. Jared had a day at work where he had to dress up as a wizard so I got to be the creator for his costume (his beard was made from some granny undies and mop head strings..wicked)
Valentines day was also awesome. We had a group of us have dinner at the McLeod residence, with Lehan in charge of decorations, Stu and I in the kitchen, Jared getting the cider and everyone  bringing a 5 dollar v day gift for a lucky dip. Some very funny presents...some R rated (eg candy penis's and g-bangas with clever slogans printed on the front).. but all in good fun. Once again the night turned into morning with us finally taking ourselves to bed around 5.30. This week the plan is to head to Whitefish to ride and also to Nelson on the weekend to watch Ash Grunw play!!! I am starting to forget what day is what on this killer holiday!!
