Cue the sad sappy music. On a good note, the sun was shining, the lines were short and the trails offered up a more loose ride for the day. Today was a day to ride by myself, fast lap with the singles line and work on [...]]]> http://www.shayboarder.com/2012/06/whistler-bike-park-62612.html/feed 3 http://www.shayboarder.com/2012/06/whistler-bike-park-womens-bike-clinic-62512.html http://www.shayboarder.com/2012/06/whistler-bike-park-womens-bike-clinic-62512.html#comments Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:16:31 +0000 Shay http://www.shayboarder.com/?p=21058 For the past month, I’ve been progressing in the Bike Park. Sometimes it’s been baby steps, sometimes huge leaps. I’m still moving forward, gaining confidence (and losing it on some days) but I’m always having fun. This trip to Whistler was based around coming up just in time to experience the Whistler women’s night clinics [...]]]> http://www.shayboarder.com/2012/06/whistler-bike-park-womens-bike-clinic-62512.html/feed 0 http://www.shayboarder.com/2012/06/whistler-bike-park-62412.html http://www.shayboarder.com/2012/06/whistler-bike-park-62412.html#comments Mon, 25 Jun 2012 17:49:35 +0000 Shay http://www.shayboarder.com/?p=21042 It felt really good to return to the promised land of bikes and boards aka Whistler to be able to work on my Bike Park progression. I’ve been missing the carefree environment, friendly atmosphere and all-around fun that goes on in resort towns so it’s been my main mission to return as much as possible.

It meant the trails would be a bit drier, easier to grip and just as much fun. I headed back to the Whistler Bike Park to get in my laps and work on technique.

In the past I’ve gone snowboarding for birthdays so this year I decided to go mountain biking and spend a couple days in Whistler.

Last night we met up with a crew in Squamish for dinner before watching the Whistler vs Squamish roller derby match.
