General Summer Cycling

Pump Track
On the peninsula there is a private pump track on a farm. I've been up to it a couple of times. It is a lot of fun and uses completely different muscles than the types of cycling that you have to pedal for.

MTB
I did the OBB thursday night mtb ride tonight, it is fast for a group ride, has quite a lot of road sections but was good. My technical skills were definitely a bit rusty but practice is a sure way to get better. i think i'll do the ride again, just not sure when i'll get the chance, it overlaps with the Russ Hayes road ride which i like and it starts pretty early. I'll get the garmin link up soon.

Road
I've managed to get the points to move up to Category 3. This opens up the possibility of entering the Vancouver to Whistler race in September, very tempting if a little expensive.
Tom and I have also been working on getting sprints right, it worked particularly well last wednesday when Tom managed to get a 1st at the VCL race.
