Hi every one, I finally got an internet connection!

I'm in Vancouver, enjoying the beautiful rain.

This week end was the first round of the new Canadian Enduro Champiponship, in Blairmore, Alberta. Those western guys put on a super event for us, the start was at 5000ft and we rode as high as 6500ft!! The riding was really different for me.

I was riding really good in the Motocross test, but both the Extreme and the Enduro test were hard for me.

I had a blast but did not get the result I was expecting.... I guess the Western riding is really different than what I'm used to, but it wouldn’t be a national if I had stayed in my backyard. On the good side, I did improve my result on day 2, which means I'm getting a hand on this terrain!

I got an 8th and a 6th, which is far from my goal of being on the podium - but I will improve this week end!

The bike is feeling awesome, the shape is good, except for a pinched nerve in my back which should be taken care of tomorrow.

This week end, The start is at 5000ft again, all around a ski hill.

Dan made a good report. I will try to keep you posted early next week, but Internet is hard to steal around here....
