Wasa Weekend

We went to Wasa Lake, BC for the May Long Weekend. Lots of the Alberta trails are still too wet and by going to BC we were looking forward to getting a mix of trail rides and road rides. The weekend did not disappoint! I hope you had the same amazing sun shine as we did throughout the weekend -- wow!

We left Friday afternoon and were in Wasa by 5pm. Schwartzee's family is building a cabin at the lake, so they had a BBQ going for us when we arrived! Saturday was our mountain bike ride -- we managed to see three (3) different lakes (Sulphur, Premiere and Quartz) on this 75km trail ride -- wicked fun and amazing views.

Here we are for a quick toe dip in the lake -- Katie, Scott, Schwartzee and Tanya.

And Katie sits on the ledge of a great view.

And here is Katie showing off her guns as she rocked the climb to get this great view!

And this lake was so calm as we rode up to it with the mountain view in back.

The first graph is our Road Ride Elevation. The climb into Kimberly is the toughest part.

Next is our 3 lake mountain bike trip - the climbs are short distance, but good elevation gain.

We spent the rest of our time enjoy getting caught up with friends around the camp fire - eating way too much, hitting the trails on the quads and catching a nap before dinner.

What else could you ask for on a long weekend?!?

We came home after a pancake and bacon breakfast on Monday. We did pretty good at beating the traffic and found time for lawn chores (so our neighbours don't think we're white trash!) and got some food in the house for the rest of the week.

This week we find out if we make the top 3 of the BC Bike Race Competition (Prize Package) Don't worry, you'll learn more, if we make the top 3. We'll need your help with voting!

Anyway -- hope your weekend was as much fun. And let's hope the rain doesn't come like they are predicting.
