::ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH::

I've had a little bit of time away from my boat, which has been fantastic... it's allowed to me to get out and enjoy some of the sports I love and miss out on while 100% focused on training.

I got out to Calgary with some friends for a Mountain bike ride from Canmore to Banff and back, and a hike up Mt. Yamnuska in Kananaskis. What an awesome part of the world!! Mike and I are standing right infront of a 200m drop down the front facing cliff, pretty rad stuff! Yamnuski means "wall of stone", and it's famous for it's detrious "scree" which is a huge steep pile of broken rock which forms at the base which is also really wicked for running down at top-speed. The vankayak.com chapter of the World Society for the Appreciation of Geology and Rocky Radness (WSAGRR) is now in full effect, please check back for our quarterly newsletter...
