A Blustery Morning

Slowly waking up on this blustery Sunday morning in Whitehorse. Filming yesterday was very  successful. Typically, it takes about twenty minutes to ride the Goat Trail singletrack above the city, but with the camera, it took us about four hours. That included interviews and riding sections of trail multiple times; the end product should look great though.

Boreale Mt. Biking organized a BBQ at Yurtville with the locals, such a great chance to learn about the Yukon lifestyle and here some stories. The people here are known for putting their quality of life ahead of standard of living, a value that is often lost in the hustle bustle of the big cities.

Still feeling a little stiff from the stunt I did for a commercial a few days ago, I was glad to sneak in a little yurtoga session before the BBQ (Caryn will mock me for making up a goofy word like ‘yurtoga’, but I couldn’t resist). The BBQ finished up as it got dark, which was after midnight, and as I type this, Sylvain has brought me a latte to help ease the heaviness that is still hanging over my eyes (seem to be switching to coffee this week because it’s so good here). We are quite spoiled so far with good food, good company, and great riding.
