So the day started at quarter to eight which was a little earlier than what I'm used to but whenever you have a chance to ride in a indoor bike park you do it.Arrived at Andrew's house about 8:45 with no sign of Spak.Went inside had a cup of jo, talked then loaded the van.One minute after 9:00 Spak raced in the driveway, we loaded his bike and hit the road towards Toronto.
Upon arrival we signed our waivers,found out that Matt was born January 16 2010 and got our pictures taken.I have to admit when you walk into the building you kind of wounder if you should have brought leg and arm warmers but I guess since there is no wind inside you need the building temp a little cool (a couple laps around the xc loop fixed this).All kitted out in our spandex we met out side the change room for our personal tour by Joy Rides very own Mark Summers.He first showed us the pump track, skinnys, jump lines then the grand tour of the xc track.I don't want to bore you with describing it twice so check out Andrew's blog to read the fine details.Matt also took some pics today so tomorrow at a ungodly hour he should post them.Biggest down fall to Joy Ride is now I am going to have to get a freeride bike....thanks Mark.
So here is the bottom line, if you like riding your bike and you want do so in the winter with out staring at a wall check out joy ride.Best ride of the season,non stop laughs and you could even incorporate it into your work out.Here are some pics and movies.cheers
If there was a rad 2 this is what the kids would look like.Neon colors out spandex in.
