An event almost 3 years in the making - we finally managed to complete the Gran Fondo from Vancouver to Whistler! This past Saturday, Justine, Nicole and I were up at the crack of dawn, gathered in Stanley Park and joined over 6,000 other crazy people in riding the 122 km up to Whistler. It was a tougher day than expected (more on that later), but we completed it, and enjoyed the day.

Our friends Katie and John came to visit us on Galiano over the weekend. On the Saturday, we decide to make our second trip on David’s boat, and thought we’d try a bit of a longer journey. We decide to try crossing the channel to go to Salt Spring Island and check out the famous Saturday Market.

Happy Canada Day! We had a fun and busy day that I thought I would share some pics from. Justine and I did a 40 km bike ride in the morning, then spent the afternoon with our friends Katie and John at their new place in Port Moody, before walking over to the Port Moody Canada Day festival to see my favorite band, 54-40! Great day!

After a month away (for me - 3 weeks for Jus) we finally got back to Galiano. In addition to the usual work around the property, we had some fun things lines up. My friend David has a boat and had booked a weekend at Montague Harbour with his family. They were coming up to our place for a BBQ on Saturday, then had offered to take us out on the boat on Sunday!

After almost 3 years, I finally had a chance to get back to Europe! It was a quick trip for work, crammed in between our Las Vegas trip and our vacation in Montreal. It gave me the chance to get back to Toulouse to see the team, as well as spend a bit of time in the UK, both for work and on the weekend to see some friends.

While I was in the UK, I got to spend the weekend with my friends Mark, Rachel and Arwen. My timing was amazing as it was the weekend of the Queen’s Jubilee, and Mark’s neighbourhood put on a very fun Jubilee party. I managed to get a few fun pics from the day of the party that I thought I’d share.
Read MoreA First Visit to Reifel - with Simon
We had a break in the weather and booked a spot for a visit to Reifel - our first of the season! Our friend Simon decided to come along, and it wa sa first time visit for him, which was fun. We had nice blue skis, reasonable temperatures and most importantly no more snow on the ground to deal with. It had remained fairly cool, so there was still some ice on the ponds. Which gave us the always fun ducks-on-ice, but sadly meant it was overall a quiet day.
