Delicious barbecue. Especially Rich’s spicy tri-tip.
Delaney and I opted to colour and watch Netflix. UFC is too violent. 🙂

Happy Birthday Jesus and Rockin’
In all the late December excitement for Ron Shewchuk’s birthday, I often forget our Lord and Savior was born around the same time. 🙂
Ron and I cycling Whistler
In the heart of Whistler lays Lost Lake Park; a recreational wonderland just steps away from the village. Summer activities include hiking, walking, swimming, canoeing and cycling.
The park boasts an incredibly fun network of mountain bike trails referred to as Zappa Trails. This extensive network of manicured pea gravel pathways, along with fun rocky and rooty singletrack trails take the rider from one end of the park to the other and provide ample opportunities for families, beginner and intermediate riders to explore Lost Lake on their mountain bikes.
The Zappa Trails are a favourite among locals looking to get out for a quick cruise after work or when short on time. The trails are well marked and maintained year round by the Resort Municipality of Whistler, making them relatively easy to navigate. If you do get lost, you’ll find maps at all the major junctions to get you back on track.
The Zappa Trails are well suited to families looking at exploring Lost Lake on two wheels. …

Expedition Idaho Adventure Race
Here’s Jeni McNeal and team still smiling day 2 of a 7 day non-stop race.
farewell Port Townsend
I had another wonderful visit hosted by Doug and Diana Davis.
I was there finishing final videotaping of Gymnastics Games. They should be released SOON. 🙂
Port Townsend is for outdoor adventure. I spent a lot of time on Doug’s excellent road bike.
Doug just invested in a company producing Elf bicycles in the USA.
I had one issue. An ingrown nail blew up. For some days I considered fleeing to the socialized Health Care of Canada.
It quickly healed after we released the pus. A-OK now.
Farewell PT. I should be back after New Years. 🙂
Mickey and the little rubber guys
These choking hazards are the new big thing with young kids in 2014. I believe they are called kersqueegils … something like that. 🙂
Here Mickey rallies as many kersqueegils as he can fit on one skateboard.

Expedition Idaho Adventure Race
7-days of continuous physical and mental challenge, almost no sleep, bad food, questionable water. Who invented this sport? 🙂
To stagger the start of Expedition Idaho, Race Director Dave Adlard, set a unique prologue.
Teams had to climb the toughest waterslide, starting over if anyone slipped.
If successful, they then took a victory lap … running the Lazy River. Backwards. 🙂
This is even tougher than it looks.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Gymnastics sport scientist Jeni McNeal is running this race.
Good luck.
Zoe’s article on Lake Street Dive
Lake Street Dive sold out their 40-date tour and at the Commodore on Thursday the reasons were obvious. This Brooklyn band is on the cusp of world domination, or so it seems.
If you haven’t already heard of them, here’s a few reasons to check them out: Rolling Stone magazine recently hailed them as “unexpected showstoppers” and put them on its January 2014 “10 new artists you need to know” list. Their latest album, ”Bad Self Portraits,” has received outstanding reviews. Most recently they made appearances on Ellen, Stephen Colbert, and The Late Show with David Letterman, each time wowing the hosts with their raw musical talent. …
