This post is a little old as I’ve had to wait until the latest release of the flickr plugin, so I could add the images….

My good friends Manu and Jesse felt it was time to me “real” mountain biking this weekend. Actually is was Friday as work gave us the day off being leap year and all. Typically this being our day off it rained like a bastard.

Before heading to meet the guys I went via the bike shop, where the blokes there thought it was quite funny that I was taking to the mountains.

In contrast here’s Manus bike. Not short of a about $2500 for this baby.

Hmm, I should have listened to those nagging doubts in my mind. We went to Burnaby mountain which was considered intermediate.

Here’s me laughing at the sign for “most difficult” trail.

I ended up going down a black mountain bike run and going over the handle bars. I busted both my wrists the left one quite badly and bruised some ribs.

This is after a couple of days… nice

Moral of the story:

Buy better bike. Believe the sign when it says ‘most difficult’.
