Just got home from riding two laps in a massive downpour.
There must have been easily 5 inches of rushing water running down Neds (Neds is a trail on Seymour in North Van). It's like riding down a river with class 5 rapids. Normally Neds is a rocky chunder fest thats about my least favourite of any riding option. But you add pouring rain and whitewater rapids and things change.
Next lap was the tried and true Corkscrew, Pingu, Pangor, Lower Boogie, Empress. Damn fun stuff really finding the flow on Pangor and nailing everything at the perfect speed. There are lots of little thing to pop small airs off of, but if you are going to fast that usually screws up your set up for the next little thing or you come in too hot to rail a corner.
Skiing season ain't nearly over here yet. But thanks to the early daylight saving time change apres work riding is game on. Mid week rides and weekend pow. I heart spring in North Van.
