Thanks for the ride, Mt Ste Anne!
Wow. Mont Ste. Anne – what a ride! I have never seen a course like that – just a constant stream of super technical riding. Challenge after challenge – it was rad! I met up with Kaila and Jimmy...

If you feel depressed reading my blog, I understand. If you think my blog is whiny, I understand that too. It was a slow summer, followed by a slow fall, culminating in an almost completely stopped...
