Beautiful BC...

I got it back my little bike... repaired with a used part, it was "only" $55! Lucky... Well shortly after I got it back the fork started leaking and I just rebuilt it with new seals. Let's hope that was the last repair this year!

It was boiling hot - all of a sudden it stopped raining last week and we're having sunshine without a single cloud.

I can get all the way around there - but for whatever reason I never made it past the U-Turn.
Maybe I always think that 2m is too deep to fall...

GPS Altitude Chart

Besides talking for hours almost every day to and doing a lot of sports I started programming a nice little application. I never liked the way the Garmin software for the GPS displays the elevation plot for a tracklog. There was no way to print or save it (except a screenshot). So I wrote my own application doing exactly this. I called it GPS Altitude Chart and you can find it in a special section here on this website.

Garibaldi Lake

On Sunday I did a great hike to Garibaldi Lake. Starting at an altitude of about 1300 m everything was still covered by about 1 m of snow. That didn't make the climb easier and it was quite far, too (>22 km). But it was well worth the effort and pictures show more than 1000 words:

Simply Amazing...
