Whistler Outing
This was the club's first ever Whistler Outing Weekend
offering members both on-road and off-road cycling options.
|
Thus, to start the weekend everyone took an easy off-road trail
together before separating and going their own way.
|
Whistler is best known for it's downhill cycling and mountain trails
but it also has many paved trails.
|
The paved trail system weaves in and out of the ski area
leaving cyclists not always knowing if they are coming or going.
|
Everywhere you bike there is new exciting scenery to view
as well as many other sporting options to try.
|
There is also the unusual to see, like over sized lawn chairs
or antiquated cars from days gone by.
|
|
Throughout the valley are many secluded parks and beaches.
|
There are also lots of nice resorts and hotels
as well as nice places to camp for out of town visitors.
|
Along with skiing though what Whistler is best known for is
extreme cycling and one of our members tried it out.
|
As you can tell from the pictures all of this was very tiring,
requiring a few cat naps during the day to keep everyone going.
|
There were also some fun hikes around the village
for both sight seeing and shopping.
|
For the off-road gang there was a fun hanging bridge
for all to ride across.
|
There were also some fun bike parks for local kids
that attracted a few adults as well.
|
If all of that was not enough, you could rent a kayak to paddle
or take a dip in the lake to cool off.
|
To say the least Whistler was a fun place for a club outing,
even with no snow to go skiing.
