Toonie #5, Nimby 50 and Tips from a pro

Dwayne 2nd, me 3rd at Toonie # 5...we were 6 seconds apart and only a few seconds behind the winner - Neil Kindree that savage.

Dwayne went up to the Nimby 50 and came in 8th place this past Saturday.

I on the other hand bailed on Nimby and rode with my friend Dustin who showed me some tips on how to actually ride my bike - well worth it and very helpful!

This weekend is race #2 in the Hell of a Series - The North Shore Bike Fest XC...

We are about a month away from the BC Bike Race and all things point to us having good legs and doing well....having fun is never a problem.

On the fundraising front we are close to our goal and still have time left to hit it!
