plastic galactic shizen
After Saturday's eventful expedition through the Seymour backcountry, I felt in the mood for something a little more predictable for Sunday.
And as luck would have it, Andrew texted me as I was beginning my trek back from the Elsay Lake Trail and offered up a tantalizing morcel that consisted of some shuttling in Squamish with Mitch and Co from Cove Bikes. Obviously, I was keen, and jumped at the opportunity.
So at 8AM Andrew and I departed El Nora Royale for the parking lot at Quest University, where we watched a Fat Kid Summer Camp while waiting for the Cove Team to show up and start shuttling. After two AWESOME laps of 19th Hole to Psuedo Tsuga, we loaded up Tom's new GMC pickup with 9 bikes and riders (yes, 9) and headed up to do a lap of Plastic Galactic Shizen which was a SUPER awesome and delightfully long descent. An 8km descent length had been tossed around at some point, and I'd be willing to believe it.
This lookout, where Andrew Summers, Handsome Gentleman Extraordinaire, snapped this photo of me is probably 2/3 of the way down, and we still have to go all the way to less than 50m above sea level before we're done.
SUCH. AN. AWESOME. RIDE.
Big thanks to Andrew for inviting me along (and taking this photo) and Mitch, Tom, Annie, Shane, Christian (aka Shorty), Jen and Kerry for the awesome ride!
