Gloria and mud at Panorama

Gloria did have some fun today but she also got a bit fed up with some pedally sections and the mud!

Panorama Mountain was a bit of a mixed bag – some fun, some a bit pedally, some nice technical single track, a fair bit of water damage and numerous mud patches on the lower sections from torrential flood rains a week ago, so I guess we were lucky to riding at all. Several track sections were closed due to the mud and one called "Insanity" was completely closed as it will be used for the Canadian National Downhill Championships in about 2 weeks. Hope they can get it ready in time. We did have about a dozen trails (or parts of trails) to choose from ranging in length from 3 – 7 kms. Good number of riders for their opening day but no queues for the lift. Not a bad day of play for Gloria.

 

Gloria enjoyed her shower at the bike wash at the end of the day. (Jill was very pleased not to have to deal with all that mud inside the van!)
