4X

The weather's been a bit pants for the past couple weeks - too warm/wet for snowy activities and too wet/snowy for bike ones.....

Unless of course you happen to have an empty warehouse and truckloads of dirt - which is exactly what they put to good use to build the Abbotsford BMX track :-)

Its a wee drive (45mins) but worth it for the silky smooth track so Rich and I met Amber and Kevin down there for some midweek madness.


Being a warehouse tends to mean the floor isn't exactly "steep" so the track makes for a bit of workout for the lungs - the first few laps were a bit of a rude awakening for my lungs for sure!

But, once you get used to it, its great fun. Of course there were a load of BMX's flying around - and I do mean flying - but this was 4X night(that's "four-cross" for you non-bikers) so once it got to racing it was strictly MTBs only.

There were the usual "fast boys" making the rest of us look fairly decrepid - Amber on the other hand was just making me look decrepid!!


But much fun was had by all :-)

Now where can I get some cheap skinny tyres.....
