MONDAY, JULY 8, 2013 Black Tusk on a Beautiful, Sunny July Day
Black Tusk is always a phenomenal hike and on a sunny July day, especially so. Starting at Rubble creek about 25 minutes south of Whistler the trail stars along an easy and immediately nice trail. All the trail construction that has finally begun after a couple years of hikers grumbling about the deteriorating trails in Garibaldi Park. You really notice how deluxe the trail is to Taylor Meadows. Wide and raised (I think) since the last time I'd hiked it. Looks like they have used their mini backhoe to dig the edges of the trail and pack the centre of the trail a bit higher and flatter. The trail really feels luxurious and manicured, certainly as compared to the much more rugged and wild trails closer to Whistler Village. The Wedgemount Lake trail, Rainbow Lake and especially all the hiking trails in the Callaghan Valley look poor by comparison. You can't help wondering that they focus money on the Rubble Creek trail more than others due to its location closer to Vancouver.. but then it could also be the fact that Rubble Creek is the starting point to such a wealth of trails. Taylor Meadows, Garibaldi Lake Mt Price, Black Tusk, Panorama Ridge and several more destinations with only alpine routes instead of marked trails. Money well spent it seems though as the Rubble Creek trail is very nice. There are even two piles of cut boardwalk in the process of being installed near Taylor Meadows between it and the Black Tusk junction. In a couple weeks this whole, huge section of trail that often is mired in mud will now be a very luxurious, raised boardwalk. Only a few patches of snow in shady areas above Taylor Meadows and on the approaches to Black Tusk the trail is covered in a few places. Hard packed and easy to walk on, making it not a problem at all. Two sets of two hikers passed by with snowshoes on their packs which no doubt a precaution as the BCParks site showed 60cm of snow at Taylor Meadows as of a the 6th of July! I must have misread that though as it seems impossible to have melted that much in just a couple days. But then those other groups must have misread as well.. Just over 13 kilometres to the final chute to Black Tusk and I noticed another access chute I had never spotted before just 10 metres before the usual, marked chute. Looks like two backpacks on the ground near it so it must have been climbed. We took the usual, marked with a tiny orange piece of trail tape. Looks like just those two other people for miles so no worry of someone above dislodging chunks of rock and we scrambled up. No sign of the other two hikers so we must have passed them as we went up our chute and they went down theirs. So just the two of us on this incredible mountain. Despite being cold below the base of Black Tusk, up on top, even with the wind blowing the heat from the black rocks underfoot make it nice and warm. Looking around at the bivouacs dug into the boulders we wished we had packed for an overnight on top as many must have done before. All in all, in the 30 kilometres we hiked through Taylor Meadows and around to Garibaldi Lake we only saw 10 people, amazing... Midweek days in Garibaldi Lake are fantastic. We saw a couple people catch two trout from near the bridge on Garibaldi Lake. They weren't even using a rod, just a line, a weight and a fly. They took them straight to the main beach and cooked them right away. I don't remember seeing so many fish at Garibaldi Lake before. We saw dozens in the shallow water, just off the trail to the bridge in the clear water. Some jumping in a strange, almost manic way.. weird. More were jumping out near Battleship Islands. I couldn't remember Garibaldi Lake being so beautiful before. But this surely is the hottest, sunniest and most devoid of people time I've been here. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 2013 Cheakamus Lake in Garibaldi Park - Camping in JuneCheakamus Lake in Garibaldi Park is one of the best places for early summer camping in Whistler. The snow usually melts from the trail sometime in May and this year most of the snow was gone earlier than usual. Such an easy hike or biking trail conveniently close to Whistler.. Just 35 minutes from Whistler Village and we were at the parking lot at the Cheakamus Lake trailhead. We did bomb through the horribly potholed 10 or so kilometre logging road pretty quickly. If you have a car or non 4x4 vehicle you can make it, but slow going for sure. As usual in June there are few people on the trail. Just one runner, two bikers and no hikers but us. A lucky break in the weather brought out the the sun all day and the lake seemed to glow in that unnaturally looking blue that I can never seem to get used to. Amazing turquoise water, deep green forest and beautiful blue sky. The only sound is the deep and distant sound of water flowing past as Cheakamus Lake becomes Cheakamus River. The only movement is the occasional fish jumping in the distance. Cheakamus Lake is often described as a great lake for fishing, but two attempts at fly fishing here last year come up with nothing. Later this week the fish stocking begins in the smaller Whistler lakes. Cheakamus doesn't get stocked with fish, but Lost Lake usually gets 1000 fish and Alta Lake gets 750 or so every year. You don't need much skill to catch fish in those well stocked Whistler lakes, but this wild and huge lake surely takes a lot of effort and technique to be successful. With the first campsite at 3k was empty and with lots of sun we stayed there and didn't bother continuing to the nicer campsites at 3-4k further along the trail. Heading up to Helm Creek and Corrie Lake next week. Located across from where we sat on Cheakamus Lake. Corrie Lake is hidden in the trees far across and above us. A few patches of snow way up there but hopefully little to contend with on the trail. Beyond Helm Creek and Corrie Lake we will continue on to Panorama Ridge and Black Tusk. About 15k from where we sit, the route from this side of Garibaldi Park splits off from the Cheakamus Lake trail about 1.5k from the trailhead. SUNDAY, JUNE 17, 2012 The Meager Mudslide From 2010 Is Still Very VisibleThe huge mudslide near Meager Creek Hot Springs back in 2010 looks like it happened weeks ago. Very few plants grow in the sandy dirt piles that scatter the landscape for several kilometres around the Upper Lillooet River near Meager. Dead and still dying trees that withstood the debris flow look barely alive. Hundreds lay in the wasteland and hundreds still stand. Most are greying and dead while some have bits of green still alive on their upper branches. For a wasteland the place is unexpectedly beautiful. Nothing seems where it should be. Oddly unnatural to see a whole valley, literally blasted away by water and debris and not quickly recovering. In BC everything seems to grow fast and green. In this area, only the occasional purple flower pokes out of the dead, grey, sandy ground. It makes quite a surreal place to hike. And you can really wander for hours around here. The Upper Lillooet River winds through the chaotic terrain. Hiking along the shore you find bizarre rocks produced from the geologically active Mt Meager. Strange piles of mangled trees everywhere. And looking up the valley, destroyed landscape. Meager Creek Hot Springs is still accessible, but you have to cross the Upper Lillooet River. It's usually quite tame and slow, but in the spring time the level rises and it moves faster. After this crossing, there is a 7k hike to the springs. An easy alternative to Meager Creek Hot Springs is Keyhole Hot Springs, just 7k up the logging road. SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 2012 Cute Bear Cubs and Their Big Mom Lurking in WhistlerAmazingly cute bear cubs visited our backyard this morning. There seem to be an extraordinary number of bears around already this year. Last week I saw two full grown bears wandering around together. So unusual to see two grown bears wandering around together.. and such different colours. In the vicinity of Whistler Golf Course there must be no less than 5 hanging around most of the summer. It's unusual, it seems this year, to go on the Valley Trail around the Whistler Golf Course and not see a bear. But that seems the norm in Whistler this year. With so much forest throughout Whistler, bears surely take comfort in lurking in the shadows in the midst of so many people so close. I learned something the other day. The all to often encountering a bear on the Valley Trail can be inconvenient. If the bear doesn't scare off the trail by shouting or gesturing, try walking into the brush at the edge of the trail. The crunching sound caused by walking on the twigs and underbrush at the edge of the trail seems to spook bears into rushing quickly into the trees. Maybe the Whistler bears are used to people, but they still scare easily from foot crunching sounds they hear. Worth a try anyway. MONDAY, JUNE 4, 2012 Keyhole Hot Springs (aka Pebble Creek) - Spectacular
The amazing Keyhole Hot Springs (sometimes called Pebble Creek Hot Springs) are only 1.5 hours from Whistler. Located west of Pemberton in a very geologically active part of BC. An area along the chaotically beautiful Upper Lillooet River about 100 metres long contains several hot spring tubs. Ranging from the luxurious, cemented into the side of a cliff, hanging at the edge of the river. To the less luxurious, but also amazing sand pools where the hot water bubbles from underneath you as you relax. You can dig these as large or as small as you wish and have to cool them down with river water from time to time as the temperatures rise. Meager Creek Hot Springs are just a few kilometres before Keyhole Hot Springs, and still there and usable, however the giant bridge was destroyed in 2010 when the massive mudslide swept it away in moments. The $900,000 scrounged together over years of squabbling and negotiating to build it crashed through the valley below. This extraordinary bad timing and luck will almost certainly ensure that a new bridge will never be built. Not just because of the massive cost, but also the massive activity under the ground here. You can still get to Meager, but you have to walk there, parking and hiking from where the bridge used to be. The river here spreads through the valley considerable, so even when the water is high it may only be two feet deep, so very manageable. For a hot springs enthusiast, this is a small barrier, though if you do you are risking a very possible and sudden death. Catastrophic mudslides can and do strike often here. Roughly one a decade. Meager Creek Hot Springs are in the wake of these slides, however, Keyhole Hot Springs is not. It is shielded from the path of these mud slides by a massive wall of rock laid down by the massive eruption of Plinth Peak in 410BCE. Plinth Peak is visible as you lay in the Keyhole Hot Springs and this wall of rock lays across the river valley from you, towering high above. Bring binoculars if you go and look at it closely and you will spot dark spots. These are trees and parts of trees eroding out of the rock face, frozen in time on that day 24 centuries ago. What a spectacular place... and there is a beautiful, huge campsite too. There are two more hot springs in the opposite direction of Pemberton. These are Skookumchuck Hot Springs (2 hours from Whistler), and Sloquet Hot Springs (3 hours from Whistler). Skookumchuck Hot Springs is a collection of hot tubs of the kind you would see at someones house that collect hot spring water. It is a shabby looking hot springs, but somehow has a beautiful charm to it. Well worth a visit, at least if on the way to the beautiful Sloquet Hot Springs. MORE INFO AND DIRECTIONS TO KEYHOLE HOT SPRINGS>> SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 2012 Lost Lake FishingLost lake is one of the easiest places around to catch a fish. Standing on one of the several little floating islands, you see them jumping in every direction, almost constantly. You would swear that they must stock the lake, but they haven't. They haven't yet this year that is. In a couple weeks, usually the third week in June the lakes around Whistler are stocked with about 500 rainbow trout each. Amazing. They are jumping everywhere and they haven't even stocked it yet this year. They are pretty easy to catch, it seems. Throw a fly in where they are jumping and within a minute or two you get a bite. Even if they didn't bite, it wouldn't really matter. The scenery is sensational. Distant, snowy Blackcomb mountain towers just over the bright green trees. And the lake is usually smooth as glass, reflecting the world above almost perfectly. Lost Lake is always busy but mostly on the main beach and the big, clothing optional pier. The trails around the lake are quite busy as well and if you walk or bike them on the way to the lake you often see a bear lurking in the trees. Usually, it seems, being barked at by a tiny dog. SUNDAY, MAY 6, 2012 The Monstrously Famous Hemloft in WhistlerThe Hemloft shot into fame recently in Whistler. Constructed in the wilderness of Whistler by what can only be described as a super nice guy with a sense of adventure that is impossible to comprehend. Everything about this masterpiece is bewildering. From it's location. Hidden, yet in the middle of so much. You wouldn't expect something so grand, so understated, so graceful, in a rustic forest. It stands out as if it represents so much. Hidden in the midst of multi million dollar mansions it counts as a powerful contrast to at once seems so wrong with the world and so right. Jockeying for position, these magnificent houses rise on prime Whistler real estate, only to be overshadowed by this small, yet psychologically imposing spectacle of some forgotten true meaning of happiness. Approaching the Hemloft, you scramble up and through deep rainforest just metres from your car. Looking back you can't even see the road you just left. The trees, alive and dead block your view. Closing the world you see into another world, sheltered from the rest. It was an accident that the creator of the Hemloft built here. He spotted a perfect grove of trees as he put it. But he looked for months. The accident landed his creation in the midst of mansions. On Crown Land as they call it. Not owned by anyone. We all own it, in other words. Canada. Canadians. You of course can't just build on land like this. But he did. Many people do in fact. Build little places like this, but of course not like this. This is exceptional. If you can find it. Try walking toward it, or rather where you think it might be, and think of what it took to bring what was to become this place.. here. It's staggering. The trail, if you want to call it that. Is barely there. Certainly six months of the year it isn't. But, despite the massive internet knowledge, the trail is barely visible. This is, in every sense of the word, hidden. Why, in this neighbourhood of millionaire excess should this creation stand as something? Because it represents, in some abstract and real way. Because it does. Because it has 94000 Facebook fans. Because the comments on the creator's site are passionate and thought out. Because it created something out of nothing. It grew out of passion. To create. To make something that wasn't there and have it be so beautiful as to create a following that is incredible. Only weeks ago, no one knew of this place. Now, nearly a hundred thousand people feel passionate about it. About this place that was for so long overlooked. You do wonder. How many people have come to Whistler, taken this drive, and missed this place. Everyone missed this place. Except one person. He saw it. And now, we see it too. In this world of unrest and misplacement, this is a contradictory shrine to something simple. He dragged this place into being. One piece at a time. Over weeks, then months, then years. Only to, as we see from the video online. To share a moment. A day. A special set of days. A safety. A longing for a place to sleep. He found it day after day. Then built a home for that way of thinking. It came out of inspiration and determination. Not to mention a skill developed of a breathtaking depth. We look on it with easy eyes. We took some time to Google the details, then we pieced it together. The time we took, and the effort, was little in comparison to what he took to create this. When we look at one of the idols of modern time, we only see them as they are now. Not the pain of their foundation. This is what the Hemloft teaches us. Anything is possible. And anything can happen. And in this world, anything happens all the time. This Hemloft is a gift to our imagination. The impossible is possible. If you don't fit this million dollar world, you can still outshine them if you want to. And if you don't. You can still just find a grove somewhere and build. And live. It would be presumptuous to say that this world is worth more than any other world, or million dollar house around. But it is. In the fundamental worth of reality, it is. Over 94,000 Facebook likes count as something in this world. Just as democracy in this world is founded on democracy. So the future of this cute and meaningful monument is a symbol of the future of our world. We recently watched the Arab spring rise out of Facebook into something worldwide. So should we see this little tree house in Whistler become a hallmark of what is right in the world. Leave it beautiful as it is. 94,000 love it the way it is. And that number is counting. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2012 Elfin Lakes/Diamond Head Snowshoeing in Garibaldi Park, SquamishThe Elfin Lakes/Diamond Head trail in Squamish is an amazing place to snowshoe. The trail is easy to follow, not too steep, and after the first 5k the views are phenomenal. And astonishingly, amazingly, there are two luxurious huts. One after 5k is called the Red Heather Hut and is a day use only, warming hut. Which means it is a cute little house in a snowy paradise with large windows, a fantastic wood stove and stacks of ready cut wood to fill it with. This may not seem luxurious, but in the cold mountains of Garibaldi Park in Squamish, a little house with a wood stove is paradise. From the Red Heather Hut to the Elfin Lakes Hut is a further 6k, and constantly beautiful. The views are incredible because the trail runs along a sharp ridge so you often have views both left and right. In the early morning or evening light this makes for quite an amazing contrast in light and colours reflecting off the mountains all around. The Elfin Lakes Hut is quite a thing as well. Buried in a few metres of snow, you have to descend snowy stairs as if walking into a snow cave. Once inside two remarkable things hit you. First the warmth, the thing is heated... shocking. Second the size. This half buried hut looks small from the outside, but once inside you marvel at the hugeness of it all. Sinks, large tables, windows everywhere... and a set of stairs going up to another floor above. The upstairs is wall to wall bunk beds. Unbelievable cozy and tidy. The whole interior has a wonderful ski lodge feel. After I went back downstairs with the bouncing walk of a kid in a new tree fort, still amazed at this hut in the mountains, I noticed two modern timer dials on one wall. Turning one a bit sheepishly and brightness filled the place. There are lights. Unbelievable. The Elfin Lakes Hut has power. Unbelievable. MORE INFO AND DIRECTIONS TO ELFIN LAKES/DIAMOND HEAD HIKING TRAIL>> THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2012 Bushwhacking to Mount Currie Soon To Be A Thing of the PastIt seems the awful, bushwhacking route to the spectacular Mount Currie in Pemberton is well on it's way to becoming a proper trail. As reported this week in the Whistler Question newspaper, Pemberton Mayor Jordan Sturdy has some forward thinking aspirations to enhance hiking in the region to encourage tourism. A fantastic idea that is well overdue. With the extraordinary increase in hiking popularity in Squamish and Whistler in the recent years, and Mount Currie's unquestionable beauty, the cost to construct the trail hopefully will be well spent. The future potential of this trail is quite exciting. Better facilitating the Mount Currie to Wedgemount Lake route, which is virtually unknown except in a few back-country skier circles. One discouraging factor to this has always been the lack of clear route to Mount Currie. With this overcome though, the three day mountain and glacier spectacular from one to the other becomes that much more enticing. |

One of the country's top endurance events, the Park City Point 2 Point, will feature an enduro segment in this year's race. In it's sixth year as one of the most lucrative mountain bike races in the country, the Point 2 Point will be giving out even more cash and prizes in 2014 with the addition of the new enduro feature.
Race director Jay Burke announced he would be incorporating the enduro segment on one of the races 20-minute-plus singletrack descents. Currently the ripping fun TG/Corvair trails are the prime suspect for the DH segment, so stay tuned.
The Point 2 Point gave out over $15,000 in cash last year and twice that in merchandise, making it one of the most rewarding races in the country. That trend looks to continue through the 2014 season despite the race officials choosing withdrawal from the National Ultra Endurance series in the upcoming season.
"We felt the Point 2 Point worked best as a standalone event", said director Jay Burke, "we enjoyed our time with the NUE but the Point 2 Point is an event onto itself and we want to keep the grit and adventurous feel of the race."
Thanks to the unparalleled Park City trail system, world-class venues, and fun atmosphere, the Point 2 Point has indeed established itself and a national-level mountain bike event. In 2013 the race hosted 350 enthusiastic dirt fiends from 23 different states and 4 different countries. Over the past 5 years some of the dirt racing elite have taken on the challenge of the Park City Point 2 Point including Tinker Juarez, Pua Mata, Rebecca Rusch, Jay Henry, Josh Tostado, Alex Grant, Amanda Carey, and Ben Sonntag.
Registration for the 2014 Park City Point 2 Point opens Wednesday, February 26th at 7PM M.S.T. And riders hoping to get a spot better be on the ball as the Utah event has sold out it's 350 spots in less than 10 minutes 4 years running.
Riders hoping for a spot should visit athlete360.com to create an account prior to the 26th. Then be primed and ready to type quickly when 7PM rolls around on the 26th. Good Luck.
]]>"We've decided to really focus on the vibe of what we feel has made the P2P such a special event," said Jay Burke, race promoter. "There are not too many events like this still being organized in the US, and we really want to focus on keeping it feeling more like an adventure, the original intent." Burke went on to say, "Getting to the finish line of this event is a huge accomplishment for most folks, you need to be fit, have good luck, and have some understanding of the course and/or be running a GPS system of some type."
The 2014 event will be relatively unchanged, and if possible, will run the exact same route it did for 2013. "The feedback on the last years course was very positive and we will work hard with local organizations to keep it unchanged," said Burke. Look for the event to feature it's traditional $15,000 equal gender cash payout, along with all the quirky promotions from the past, like the Scott Sports "I'm Somebody" Award.
If you are going to take a stab at the event in 2014 you should mark your calendars for the registration date, sellout the last three years happened in about 5 minutes. 2014 registration opens at 7PM Sharp M.S.T. on February 26th.
So the question still remains, "Can You Do It?"
The bike stand is located approximately half way between Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons Resort at The Colony's
restrooms. The stand has multiple tools, as well as a pump, for bikers traveling across the 15-mile trail and finding themselves in a pinch for a quick repair.
Point 2 Point Promotions purchased the stand and then worked with The Colony (Iron Mountain Associates) to find a permanent location on their property and to have them manage the installation of the stand.
"We are happy to be able to provide this resource for backcountry travelers, it is the least we can do for this community which graciously works with us each year while the event is being held," said Park City Point 2 Point race director, Jay Burke. "Approaching The Colony made perfect sense, they maintain a restroom on the trail at about the half way point, and this just seemed to be a perfect fit, they were excited to be a part of it."
The Mid-Mountain trail runs from Deer Valley Resort all the way over to Canyons Resort. The section of the trail where the new stand is located is managed by the Snyderville Basin Special Recreation District, and they will be responsible for the maintenance of the new stand.
]]>With none of the thunderstorms that plagued last year's Park City Point 2 Point, riders were treated to a near-perfect day of mild temperatures, sunny skies, and prime trail conditions.
Rains throughout the week had dampened the trails preparing the perfect treat for the 350 hardy riders capable of taking on one of the nation's toughest single-day mountain bike races. An event like none other, the Park City Point 2 Point takes riders on well over 70 miles of purpose-built singletrack in America's first IMBA Gold certified trail system. Making it even more unique is the fact that in 75 miles riders never hit the same piece of trail twice-a trait that pushes many riders into singletrack overload by the time they reach the finish.
Racing started at 7am with the open men and women's fields taking a charge at the 75 miles of singletrack and over 12,000 feet of climbing that lay ahead.
Evan Plews (Ibis/Kenda) took the early lead guiding the pack through the first miles of one-track. Plews did his best to push the pace at the front creating the days first separation. Plews was joined by Coloradoan Jay Henry (Tokyo Joe's), Alex Grant (Sho-Air/Cannondale), Nick Fisher (Rooster's/Bikers Edge), and Nate Miller (Pivot/Light in-Motion). The lead group of five stayed close through the first 15 miles of the 75-mile course until Sho-Air rider Grant decided to take over at the front of the race.
Once out front Grant's pace was too much for his companions as the slim climber pulled away from the group. Jay Henry quickly bridged that gap to the lone leader and the two of them quickly stretched their advantage.By mile 25 Grant and Henry were well clear of the others riding comfortably together heading through the first feed zone at Deer Valley Resort. Miller and Plews came through next followed by Nick Fisher who was starting to feel the effects of a fast start.
The lead duo stayed together passing the halfway point with just seconds between the two. That's when Grant started putting pressure on his companion gapping him briefly on the Empire Link climb. Henry survived and scratched his way back to the leader as the two attacked the unending twists and turns of John's trail, a local favorite in the Park City trail system. The next big climb on the Steps trail saw Grant riding away again. This attack proved too much for Jay Henry, who was now chasing the lone leader.
By mile 50 Alex Grant was well out front holding a roughly 4-minute advantage on Henry and 10 minutes on Nate Miller who was riding solo in third place for most of the race.
Never one to coast into the finish line Alex Grant attacked again on the day's final long climb stretching his lead up to almost 10 minutes at the top of the Armstrong trail. Grant cruised through the high-speed descents in and around the world-renowned Canyons Resort and just as the feeling that he might have his fifth Point 2 Point win in the bag he cut his rear tire on a rock. The leader was less than 5 miles from the finish and unable to get his tire to hold more than 10 psi. Not knowing how much of a lead he held, Grant was afraid fixing his tire would cost too much time and possibly the lead, Grant decided to press his luck and ride the flat over the ensuing rocky climb and descent to the finish. His gamble paid losing some time but not enough to cost him a fifth consecutive Park City Point 2 Point win. Alex Grant limped across the line with a record-setting time of 6:24:37.
Jay Henry had no problem holding onto his second place spot crossing the line just over 7 minutes behind. Nate Miller crossed the line in third. Fourth place went to Cary Smith (Team CF) who was just a week out from having pins placed in his broken left hand. Fifth place went to another Park City resident, Sam Sweetser (Cole Sport), who struggled after a slow start. Sweetser was mired outside the top-20 in the early portions of the race. He crept up through the pack all day and looked fresh after 50 miles attacking the final third of the race to finish just seconds behind Cary Smith.
The women's race packed an equal amount of drama as local lady Evelyn Dong (White Pine Touring) lined up against Colorado mountain bike superstar Gretchen Reeves (Tokyo Joe's). Both riders got off to a great start as Dong enjoyed big cheers from the home crowd.
The petite White Pine rider took the early lead cruising into the Deer Valley feed with some breathing space between her and chaser Reeves. Following the feed riders attacked the steep Team Big Bear climb and Flagstaff Loop before crossing a paved road on their way to a ripping descent down the Corvair trail.
This crossing could have cost Evelyn the race as she turned left on the road climbing a long section before realizing her mistake. "Being a local you'd think I wouldn't get off course" she said after the race, "I came out on the road and climbed up to the top of the pavement even though I knew [Corvair] was the other way. I don't know what I was thinking." By the time she turned around and got back on course Reeves had closed the deficit between them and the two were together once again.
Now halfway through the race the leader had lost all her advantage and the two rode together through Corvair. "I just really tried to stay calm and not let it get to me." Evelyn shared after the race. When the climbing started again Dong was able to start rebuilding her lead. Reeves was still within a couple minutes at mile 50 but the leader used the final 25 miles to her advantage hammering through the rock-strewn Iron Mountain section and cruising in to Canyons Resort 20 minutes clear of her chaser.
Gretchen Reeves had an impressive ride herself finishing second with a time that would have put her just outside the top-20 in the Open Men's category.
Reeves was followed by a duo of Colorado riders with Breckenridge resident Marlee Dixon coming home in third and Aspen local Rachel Hadley taking fourth. Fifth place went to Sarah Kaufmann (Stan's NoTubes Elite). Kaufmann had been focusing on the Point 2 Point as her first big endurance race since being severely injured in an auto versus bicycle accident in 2012. The NoTubes rider was certainly satisfied with her accomplishment just a year out from breaking her pelvis and elbow.
CAN YOU DO IT? 2014 Park City Point 2 Point, August 30th! Get your spot, February 19th (7PM)
]]>We appreciate everyones desire to race the Park City Point 2 Point and hope you all have a rewarding experinece. There are racers travleing from 24 states to participate in this years event, thanks to those of you traveling great distances and for choosing to race in Park City, UT!
Here is a link to our website that contains all of the information racers will need to prepare for the weekend.
A few things I just want to reiterate.
1. All racers must come to the number pick-up and waiver signing extravaganza at Canyons Resort on Friday afternoon > > 3:00 – 7:00PM
2. We will have a race meeting at 6:30PM – attendace recommended, but not mandetory.
3. PLEASE, tell anyone that may be supporting you at Deer Valley they must park at Snow Park Lodge (lower DV) and ride the lift up. Each racer get two FREE lift tickets – share them with others if you don't use them.
Most everthing else is covered in the Handbook.
Lastly a simple reminder, for most it probably doesn't need to be stated, but it will make me feel better if I do.
This race is in the mountains, the weather can change rapidly, and probably will. Make sure you have the right equipement that can get you through the race (light jacket is a good idea). Lightning is common this time of year, please read-up on how to keep yourself safe if this situation should arise.
Lastly, we do our best to have enough food for all racers wanting to use our support stations, however, sometimes that certian product that you wanted might be gone already. Please, be prepared and bring some extra if you think you might need it – it could be be the little diffence you're looking for.
We're excited to see you all at the finish line…have fun, be smart, and maybe you will be saying "I DID IT!"
]]>The entry was originally owned by Kenda, a presenting sponsor of the PCP2P, their racer could not attend this year so they decided to auction the entry and give all the proceeds to NICA (the National High School Mountain Biking League). Tedro won the auction last week paying $205 for it. His intentions are obvious as always – support Mountain Bike Racing in the US! As some of you may know, R. Scott Tedro is a huge force in the US mountain biking scene, as the owner of a pro team and major racing events like the US Cup and Pro XCT
We all look forward to seeing why you think you are deserving of this entry and how you will help inspire and support MTB racing!
]]>There are many options for lodging in Park City, Utah, our suggestion would be to stay with one of your partner groups.

Additionally there is a state park which is also about 10 minutes away from the start. Here are the links to those two facilities.

]]>The Park City Point 2 Point sold out in less than 4 minutes last year, it is safe to say that stage one of the 2013 Point 2 Point is going to be simply getting an entry to race.
REGISTRATION OPEN: February 15th, 7PM Sharp (Mountain Standard Time)
WHERE: Online Registration Only > http://pcpp.athlete360.com
HOW: Interested racers should visit athlete360.com and create or update their profiles to make sure they are prepared for the "mad-dash" to get a spot. You can never tell if the event will sell out as quickly as it has in past years, but if you are dead-set on racing, you should make plans to be at a computer with a fast internet connection at 7PM sharp February 15th.
The 5th Annual Park City Point 2 Point endurance mountain bike race will be held on Labor Day weekend (August 31st, 2013) in beautiful Park City, Utah. This mountain bike race is extremely unique in the fact that it is a true point to point, never crossing or using the same trail twice, and it's over 90% singletrack! Racers are clamoring over one another to participate in this event. The race travels 75 miles and climbs 14,000' as it winds through the Wasatch Mountains.
Event Details
Past National Talent
Alex Grant (4 x winner), Josh Tostado (national 24 hour champ), Ben Sonntag, Amanda Carey (2x P2P wnnter),Tinker, Pua Mata, and Rebecca Rusch, just to name a few.
Who will we see in 2013?
]]>> MANDATORY Waiver signing and number pick up – Friday, August 31st at Canyons Resort (3PM – 7PM). More info on in the Racer Handbook.
> How are you going to get to the start line – please remember, there is no parking at the start venue (this is a public park that will be in use all day after we leave the area). More in the Racer Handbook.
> Please, while you are out on the trails racing/riding the P2P, remember you are sharing the trails with the community. This is not a closed course and you will run into multiple public users. Slow down, say hello, and make the pass – you will not lose the race because you took the time to be kind. Thanks, this goes a long way towards the future of the race.
> Deer Valley resort will be running the lift from Snow Park (lower DV) to Silver Lake (upper DV). If you have someone that will be watching/supporting you at Silver Lake they must park at Snow Park and use one of the two lift tickets you'll receive to ride up to Silver Lake. There is NO PARKING at Silver Lake, they will be towed.
> What is your food plan? We will have CarboRocket, NUUN, Elete and Water. We will also have Honeystinger and GU products, as well as some hard foods (PBJ's, oranges, bananas, etc). If you have special needs, you need to make a plan for yourself.
It is looking to be more of the same in the weather department – hot, dry, dusty trails. Sorry, we tried to order a little rain last week, it just never fully materialized.

LIRR President Outlines Actions to Curb Abuse of U.S. Railroad Disability System
Steps Include New LIRR Compliance Unit, Ethics Training, Abuse Hotline and Call on Congress for Reform Measures
President Williams Press Conference
October 2, 2008
MTA Long Island Rail Road President Helena Williams today announced a series of reform measures aimed at making sure only those retirees who deserve a federal disability pension receive one.
The U.S. Railroad Retirement Board, a federal agency, currently approves nearly 98 percent of all applications it receives nationwide from railway industry employees seeking occupational disability pensions, costing the taxpayers and LIRR customers millions each year. LIRR employees have applied for the disability pensions at an alarmingly high rate in recent years, even though the LIRR's workplace safety record has shown dramatic improvement, with steadily dropping accident and injury rates.
While the LIRR has not been involved in approving the federal occupational disability applications, Williams said she is taking steps now - in coordination with Gov. David A. Paterson's administration and MTA Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer Elliot Sander - to improve how the LIRR polices its own workforce with regard to the disability issue.
"The apparently rampant abuse of the U.S. Railroad disability system by former LIRR employees comes at a direct cost to taxpayers, at a time when we are fighting every day to lower state and federal spending," said Governor David A. Paterson. "I applaud Long Island Rail Road President Helena Williams for taking swift action and await further information and action from the MTA Inspector General, the Attorney General and the federal government."
"Gov. Paterson has made it clear that it cannot be business as usual at the LIRR with regard to the disability issue," said Williams. "The time for reform is now. We are today announcing the creation of an internal compliance unit at the LIRR to work more closely with the federal government; additional ethics training for managers and union employees; and we are seeking help from Congress in the form of reform legislation so that only those who deserve a disability pension receive one," Williams said.
"The taxpayers subsidize the LIRR, providing more than 50 percent of our operating funds. Part of my job is to safeguard the taxpayer and our customers' funds. I want to assure the public that is exactly what I intend to do. The steps we take today are designed to make sure that we are doing everything at the LIRR that we should be doing to combat abuse of the federal disability pension system," she added.
The LIRR actions include:
- Training - All management and represented employees - some 6,800 workers - will receive additional ethics training that is geared specifically toward stressing the obligation of all LIRR employees as public servants to safeguard public funds and to comply with both the letter and spirit of the law regarding the eligibility requirements for federal disability pensions.
- Enforcement- The LIRR will establish a new compliance unit that will act as a watchdog on this issue for the LIRR. This unit will be assigned to review all correspondence from the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board concerning applications for occupational disability pensions to ensure that all potentially relevant information is before the Board when it reviews the applications.
- Legislation - Currently, the LIRR has no direct role in approving occupational disability applications filed with the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board. These applications are processed and approved by the Railroad Retirement Board, using standards that are clearly outdated and inadequate. The MTA and LIRR will seek new legislation in Washington that would require a comprehensive review of the existing statutory and regulatory framework covering the awarding of occupational disability pensions by the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board. Reform of the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board's rules and regulations is needed to put into place more stringent standards that would enable the Railroad Retirement Board to weed out frivolous claims; require the Railroad Retirement Board to seek independent, outside medical evaluation of disability claims; and require additional input from carriers on individual occupational disability applications. (See letter to Members of Congress.)
- Hotline - The LIRR is reminding all employees and our customers to be alert to possible fraud, waste and abuse and of our joint obligations to report allegations of possible wrongdoing to the MTA Inspector General, using the IG's toll free number - 1-800-MTA-IG4U (1-800-682-4448)
- Google Translate

Spring Car Care Section: Automobile group offers Earth Day car care tips
Published on Thu, Apr 21, 2011
Read More
When it comes to celebrating Earth Day and helping the environment, vehicle owners and drives should not feel left out.
By changing a few habits, motorists can do their part in helping the environment, according to the experts at the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).
ASE recommends regular vehicle maintenance and better driving habits as two easy-to-implement strategies. What's more, better automotive habits will help your vehicle last longer and command a better resale price.
The following tips from ASE can put you on the road to environmentally conscious car care:
• Keep the engine running at peak performance—a misfiring spark plug can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent. Replace filters and fluids as recommended in the manual.
• Today's vehicles have much cleaner tailpipe emissions that they did thirty years ago. But a poorly running engine or faulty exhaust system will cause your vehicle to pollute much more than it would otherwise. Don't ignore that 'Service Engine' light.
• Keep tires properly inflated and aligned to reduce the engine's effort and, thus, gasoline consumption. What's more, your tires will last longer too, saving you money and easing the burden at recycling centers.
• Have your vehicle's air conditioner serviced only by a technician certified to handle and recycle refrigerants. Older air conditioners contain ozone-depleting chemicals, which could be released into the atmosphere through improper service.
• Avoid speeding and sudden accelerations; both habits guzzle gas. When waiting for friends or family, shut off the engine. Consolidate daily errands to eliminate unnecessary driving.
• Remove excess items from the vehicle, since less weight means better mileage. Remove that roof-top luggage carrier after vacations to reduce air drag.
• If you do your own repairs, properly dispose of engine fluids and batteries. Some repair facilities accept these items. Or call your local government. Remember too that improperly disposed fluids such as anti-freeze can harm pets and wildlife.
The ASE was founded to improve the quality of automotive service and repair through the voluntary testing and certification of automotive technicians.
About 400,000 technicians and parts specialists hold current ASE certifications. They work at all types of facilities, from new car dealerships, to national chains, independent repair shops, fleets and more.
Employers often display the blue and white ASE sign, while the technicians wear shoulder insignia or lapel pins identifying himself or herself as ASE certified.

Review of the 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT
The Cadillac Escalade EXT owns the full-size luxury sport-utility-truck segment with its distinctive style, luxurious appointments, versatility and commanding V8 performance. Then again, it's the only full-size, luxury sport-utility truck.
- Safety
Strong and smooth powertrain; plush ride; quiet cabin; versatile midgate design.
Awkward to maneuver in tight spaces; marginal quality of some interior plastics; poor fuel economy.

Full 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT Review
What's New for 2011
The 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT receives a few minor updates including noise-reducing laminated glass and a new audio system with navigation upgrades.
As traditionally defined, "escalade" refers to the act of climbing up and over obstacles, or scaling fortresses and castles with ladders during a medieval military assault. The 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT probably couldn't pull that off, yet should you need to participate in the act of cruising boulevards with buddies during a Saturday evening club crawl, this luxury sport-utility truck may just be your ride. Plus, with its innovative "midgate" cargo bed extension, there's still plenty of room for that ladder should you be in a medieval mood.
The 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT is one of three Escalade models and is essentially a cross between an SUV and a crew-cab pickup. It's related to the Chevrolet Avalanche but the Escalade EXT boasts more potent V8 power, standard all-wheel drive, bold Cadillac styling and more luxurious appointments. Just like the Avalanche, the EXT has a roomy cabin that converts easily from passenger to cargo orientation thanks to its innovative midgate, which opens the rear of the cab so the effective length of the cargo bed can be increased.
For all its luxurious versatility, the Cadillac Escalade EXT's hefty 6,000-pound weight contributes to lackluster braking performance and poor fuel economy. It also doesn't have the towing capacity to match full-size truck models from Dodge, Ford and GMC, which can be pretty luxurious in their own right when loaded up with amenities. Even so, if a cross between a full-size luxury SUV and a pickup truck is what you want, then there is literally only one choice to be had.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT is a premium full-size sport-utility truck offered in three trim levels: base, Luxury and Premium.
Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels; automatic xenon headlamps; foglamps; a roof rack; an adaptive suspension; rear parking sensors; power-folding and driver auto-dimming mirrors; a fold-down midgate; leather upholstery; 10-way power front seats with heating, cooling and driver memory settings; power-adjustable pedals; tilt-only steering wheel; dual-zone automatic climate control and remote engine ignition. Electronic equipment includes OnStar, Bluetooth, a navigation system, real-time traffic, a rearview camera and an eight-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system with a CD/DVD/MP3 changer, satellite radio, rear headphone jacks and an iPod/USB interface.
The Luxury trim adds 22-inch chrome alloy wheels, Magnetic Ride Control adjustable suspension (optional on base), automatic high beams, power sunroof and a heated steering wheel. To this, the top-of-the-line EXT Premium trim adds power-retracting assist steps and a rear-seat DVD/MP3 entertainment system (optional on Luxury).
Powertrains and Performance
Every Escalade EXT is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 producing 403 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque. Power is transferred through a six-speed automatic transmission, full-time AWD and heavy-duty locking rear differential. The automatic transmission features a tow/haul mode and manual-shift capability, but gearchanges can be awkward using the column-shifter-mounted controls.
Accelerating from zero to 60 mph takes only 7 seconds, surprisingly quick for such a massive vehicle. Despite cylinder-deactivation technology, estimated EPA fuel economy is about what you'd expect from a large V8-powered behemoth: 13 mpg city/18 mpg highway and 14 mpg combined. When properly equipped, the EXT can tow 7,600 pounds; most full-size trucks can pull about 3,000 pounds more.
All 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT models include standard antilock disc brakes, stability control, traction control, front side-impact airbags and full-length head curtain side-impact airbags with rollover protection. Other standard safety features include rear parking sensors, a rearview camera and OnStar communications. In Edmunds brake testing, the EXT's stopping distances were excessive: a lengthy 140 feet to stop from 60 mph.
The Escalade EXT has not been rated using the government's new, more strenuous 2011 crash-testing procedures. Its 2010 ratings (which aren't comparable to the new ones)were a perfect five out of five stars for frontal-impact protection.
Interior Design and Special Features
The Escalade EXT's cabin treats its occupants to the experience expected of a Cadillac. Sumptuous stitched leather accented with wood and metal trim contributes to an upscale contemporary atmosphere, though some low-rent plastic trim makes it fall short of other luxury brands. The EXT's gauges are easy to check at a glance, and its controls are straightforward and intuitive. A new audio system with advanced navigation offers real-time traffic, expanded voice prompting and 3D imaging of major landmarks.
Taking center stage is the clever midgate feature that enables the Escalade EXT to quickly transition from an enclosed five-passenger luxury SUV to an open pickup truck. Folding down the rear seat and lowering the midgate extends the 5-foot pickup bed into the interior, providing 8 feet of bed surface and room for only two in the cab. This flexibility is helpful when more carrying capacity is suddenly needed for large and bulky items; of course, the rear of the cabin is open to the elements. A locking removable tonneau cover for the bed area is also included.
Driving Impressions
Because the 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT is so large and heavy, the laws of physics are readily apparent when you approach its limits -- especially while braking. That said, the EXT's powerful V8 engine delivers surprising power for a luxurious full-size SUV. Its adaptable suspensions are also well-mannered and calibrated to strike a fine balance between a smooth, comfortable ride and decent handling. Maneuvering in tight spots can be unnerving, but that's expected of any full-size truck.

Yesterday (or the day before, time is blurring these days) I mentioned that NCSoft signed a deal with Spacetime Studios to create a spankin new Sci Fi MMO game. GameCloud has an interview with Co-founder Gary Gattis.
Gamecloud - Your first title will be in the MMO genre. Why did Spacetime wish to enter this genre at this time with so many other MMO games already out in the market and more in the works? Gary Gattis - The team has built successful MMOs together before, so we had strong reason to believe that we could do it again. The specific genre that we are developing in is relatively untapped.
