gone riding! (to sunny California and Canada)

Hey all,
well to say it's a bit chilly would be an understatement, considering it snowed here at the shop for the first time in over 20 years! Not too many people around at the time so Libby, Kaylin and I took the oppurtunity to frolick a little in the snowflakes.
Just as Damo gets back, he's off again, this time for a holiday with Libby. It just so happens the World Singlespeed Champs are on too, in Napa, California. Libby will be racing her new singlespeed, the CHERRY BOMB. First stop is Hornby Island (off the coast of Vancouver, BC) where Libby and I will ride some of the flowing, picturesque singletrack, guided by our friends who live on the island. Our friend's son is Geoff Kabush, who is competing at the Oi!limpics next week,(mtb) good luck Geoff.
We then head to Portland Oregon to soak up some bike culture and maybe check out some op shops! Then it's off down the coast route to San Franscico to catch Billy Spaceman's event, pre SS Worlds.
See you all on the trail in a couple of weeks, Kaylin, Jess, Liz and James will be takin' care of business at Cog,
stay well and ride lots.
