Summer Vancouver TR

So work asked me if I wanted to go to the ASME PVP conference in Vancouver this summer. Thats how it all got started. I called a few friends and before you knew it we had a mt. bike trip planned and I was going to get free travel room and food. With the money I was sure to save I went out and bought a new toy to take along. After much debate I got a 6.6 and built it up with the parts off my bullit. Once the bike was together I took it for a test ride at Mt. creek's diablo freeride park.

It worked, so now it was on to vancouver. I got in a two on sunday and we were riding the shore by four.

Glad you guys had fun man, I figure if I can't ride I should at least try to make myself useful by driving. I seem to be pretty much healed now, think I might head into the interior at the end of this week.

Excellent!!

If anything, I should've gone just to see you and your buddies ride. You know, in the places where my easy trails would intersect your not-so-easy trails.

Next time, you need to find a convention in the PNW during winter.:D

I'm working on getting a temperary assignment in seattle during the 2008 summer. Next summer I'll be in Idaho falls.
