15 Bobsleds
For this challenge I will be attempting to ride the mountain bike downhill trail called Bobsled. This of course includes 15 times riding to the top of the trail as well, which which will probably suck.
All welcome to come along, join in for a few runs, or just come hang out and watch me probably die of exhaustion.

Another leg burner completed!
I was joined by Caroline Jarvis, Jesse and Ben for an epic day up at Fromme mountain. These legends helped me through 15 rounds of hitting the awesome bobsled downhill biking run.
The day was long and started with a few dramas. First up Jesse got a flat tire overnight and I forgot my gloves. Thankfully both were resolved with a visit to our friends at Lynn Valley Cycles. So after meeting up with Ben and Caroline a little late, we hit the trail.
Runs were broken up into sets of 5. The first set flew past and our break was quick as we were all keen to press on. Energy peaked towards the end of the second and break at 10 was well needed, and somewhat longer than the first break. The third and final set certainly hurt. The others had either taken off for the day or headed for different runs. So by myself the slog up the hill became very noticeable, there might have been some walking involved at this stage.
Then burger and beers to round off a truly epic day. Huge thanks to Caroline, Jesse and Ben for joining me, you guys are awesome and have my respect and gratitude.
My selfie skills were tested to the max as I tried to document the group after each run. Fingers being held up to document how many runs we had completed. You can judge for yourself how well that went!
