Had a great outing from Lynn Canyon up to Norvan Falls and back and then headed up the Baden Powell to Mountain Highway. About a mile up it really started to pour (it had been drizzling all morning, but this was heavy rain) and the wind picked up, making it quite cold. I made it a couple more miles but my hands were so cold I couldn't make a fist or open a gel. Time to get the winter gloves out!
And I swear there is a GPS black hole in North Van on Saturday mornings...watch is always cutting out. Lost signal from the bottom of BP at Lynn Headwaters and couldn't pick it back up on my return to Lynn Canyon. Probably about 20 miles with a little more vert.
Last weekend the boys were asking what North Shore trails are like, so I took a few quick pictures today. Just a little taste:
A good last seven days (Sunday-Saturday) for me: 58 miles, 10,100' gain
Looks like a good outing. I don't know if we crossed path today but I did run the baden Powell from Horseshoe bay to deep cove
ReplyDeleteNice! How was the snow coming over Black Mtn/Cypress?
DeleteSnow started at 1100m from Horseshoe bay side then all the way down to the Cypress lodge, Still patchy of snow but probably a lot accumulated today. I was in Manning park today, big dump of snow up there today.
DeleteBig weekend! Skiing, or snowshoeing out there?
DeleteI was skiing. Aren't you supposed to be tapering by now?
DeleteI'll take it easy the next two weeks... :)
