09.01.05 - the down-low from whistler post #2

got in about 6'ish last night, got the bike together and was riding by 7:30pm for a one hour ride.

course has changed quite a bit in the ending and opening kilometers, which is all i had the time to ride. the bogus hard last little loop was cut out (oh darn! i hated it!) and the section after the pits was changed so that the stream crossing was not impossible to ride and then the first little climb was completely changed.

instead of going straight up this little climb and then into single track, you missed that climb and then shoot right up some gradually climbing single track that is a blast to ride. really nice stuff up here.

the views are incredible, the weather is perfect, the ground is dry and the night is chilly. as far as i go, i am motivated, excited to be here, feel awesomely fast and am really driven for a good placement.

going to ride the entire lap today with dan the man whom brought his asylum along too, so that is cool. he's going to take some pics out on the course, some impromptu sologoat photo shoots. i figure when this enduro stuff is all over that i may need to get into a modeling career, so i am working on my "look".

ya, maybe i should just keep riding.

thanks for checking the site out dawg - more updates tonight/tomorrow as i got a wireless connection and a digital camera. sweet.

sologoat out.
