Really - sweet! On the website it says bikepacks only but I've got a big motherfucker of a box in the garage ready to go - did you still want your duck polished?!:hororr:
Whistler 2012
- Thread starter Nautonier
- Start date
I get to whis the 10th of June. Haven't sorted out accom for the season yet as I'll be there for a while. I have bought a car though...
And boxes are cheap and easy. Pack a few new tyres beside the bike in the box for extra protection. I'll be lugging these boxes from Perth all around melb for a week then onto Sydney then 3 stops before Vancouver. Duct tape and cardboard is amazing.

just arrived to whistler. flight sucked bad. plane was packed, plane was super shit and old with no personal tv screens, us customs was a nightmare but i finally made it.
bike box was slightly torn in the handle holes but otherwise put the bike together with no damage.
raining in whistler at the moment

Good idea on the no rush. Met a guy here yesterday that broke his hand on opening day.
When you do go onto the double blacks just take your time and check everything out.
Schleyer to lower whistler dh is a really good entry into the tech trails. Then probably Afternoon Delight to Technoir.
Also dont forget to give Del Bocca Vista and Shaddy Acres a few runs once it dries out a bit. They are green but very fun. Especially once DM opens.

Coming on Saturday.
I'm in Vancouver for work and have managed to pull a few days over this weekend to head up to whistler and ride Saturday and Sunday before I fly home.
I've got a sweet hotel and have a rental car but I am alone and only there for Sat and Sunday. Is there any particular pub or shop the Aussie contingent resides to or meets at? I thought it will probably suck to ride alone all day and some company might be nice.
I am extremely funny, have excellent hygiene standards and have a company credit card with no limit.
So I am willing to pay for a days guidance in large amounts of beer on Saturday night.

Whats the weather like up there? I arrive tomorrow arvo. So PUMPED
I'll be flying over on the 21st, got a full month all payed for. Cant wait for the riding, only thing bothering me is I'm heading over on my onesie so I'll need to try and catch up with some straylians once I get to whistler 
If anyone is going to be there 21st June - 21st July hit me up with a PM, always keen to ride with some new blokes.
PS- I'm incredibly slow and uncoordinated so you're going to look like Hill riding with me, added bonus I guess. Also I shout beers, frequently.

$100 each way seems kinda expensive for a 2 hour trip - are there any cheaper ways of doing this?
