Montage summer

     This edition is a pretty short update on what I have been up to. Over the last few weeks I have completed my first 3 week block of training and my first "rest" week since starting training again. It feels great to be back into a regular routine. Each week my comfort level has increase and my fitness feels like it is improving. I still get nervous while descending which never used to be an issue. Hopefully that feeling goes away with time. Lately I have been really stoked on climbs, riding with Greg trying to smash new climbs has made the experience much more enjoyable. It is also one of the few places I can go 100% without worrying about crashing, could it happen yes but it is much less likely.

Last week was my off week so I tried to get done all the car stuff I could. I finished Sanding the faces of my wheels which was a big job to get all the old paint off. After that I got them painted up and started the LONG process of putting loctite on the bolts and getting all the bolts back into the wheels. This is a job I don't want to even consider in the near future. 40 bolts per wheel X4 wheels makes for some very repetitive work.

I had a bit of an accident while riding some of the Lost lake trails up in whistler. I was feeling off for the first part of the ride just not taking the right lines and not being super comfortable. It was a dumb fall that could have been avoided, I pulled out of a line to late and ended up getting sliced open by my chain ring. We found our way to the hospital and they fixed me up but I decided to pull the pin on riding for the rest of the day. After that we decide to hit up Rainbow Lake for most of the afternoon before heading back to van. Besides the visit to the hospital it was a pretty chill day

As always thanks for reading,

Mike
