Mountain Biking

We were keen to get away this weekend, what with one thing and another.

So we decided to execute a plan we shelved in favor of relaxing last weekend. We went mountain biking in Les Portes du Soleil. It's well set up for Mountain Biking numptys like us. For one it's easy. The paths are well defined and not covered in rocks, roots or shale. All three of those things are death on a stick. Even when it's wet, it's dry enough. Even more importantly, there are no walkers. Blacks, Reds, Greens - just like skiing except for no blues. But no-body wants blues. They're boring.

What I did notice, though - was that everyone else who does this sport is very much younger than my tender 32 years. These kids are just that. You only do this sport if you're 16-20. Otherwise? You're just not rubber enough.

So also, we're starting to see how GPS is useful. now that it's built into our  iPhone I'm starting to get that hang of it. See some of our new waypoint data on Google Maps, here.
