Summer's Over

It is apparently official, one morning this week summer ended, autumn arrived and it has pissed down with rain since. With the passing of summer it would seem that I can't remember much of it. Not so long ago we were in sun peaks at the start of the bike season and now it draws to a close. Perhaps the fastest summer on record?

Not all bad though, there was a fine trip to chicago in there, numerous bbqs, gigs, revamed website, sweet bike rides with a progression in skinny riding, first real crash on the road bike and then all topped off with food poisoning. what a summer...I'm kinda glad it wasn't any longer in retrospect.

Summer and cynisism (is that a word) aside, it did mark the second year in canada and permanent residency. So I expect I will be here for the foreseeable. With that in mind it makes me consider if bc is what they say it is. I like to refer to it as boring columbia as beyond the great outdoors I doubt anyone would argue that the bc fun police might be the worst! But hey, u can't expect to have it all and sneakin a solitary pint in under the noses of the fun police is fun in itself. But read around on insurance laws and some govt decisions here and it really does beggar belief. Not that the uk isn't screwed up too mind you. I think we all know it is those special people that led univ societies that end up in local govt so we can't expect too much.

Onto winter, I'm holding out for some good snow amd winter riding on the bike. Be pickin up ski passes and a new board soon so fingers crossed the best part of bc deals us an epic winter.

Nuff rambling, the walk-bus-train-ferry-walk commute s almost over for this week, time to sneak around bc's borderline prohibition and have a cheeky pint. Haha...laters. JW.
