Cadet Whistler Bike Tour

Whistler Wonder!

In spite of dodgy weather 10 Cadet boys from grades 2 to 7 and 7 Cadet leaders biked almost 35km while spending the weekend in Whistler!

Following a careful (and prayerful) sendoff from Pastor Liz, we drove up and settled in at the cabin on Friday night.  The next morning after breakfast we rode over to Lost Lake where we toured around, splitting up on trails of varying difficulty and then re-grouping at the Warming Hut for lunch.  We challenged the bump track and the terrain park (counsellor Mark happily did NOT stop to visit the hospital for x-rays and a sling this year...).  We travelled the Valley Trail over creeks and through the woods and biked to worship with the Whistler Community Church congregation on Sunday.  We had several wonderful meals together, dipped in the hot tub and even enjoyed s'mores around the campfire.  At the end of it all we did a lot of planning and organizing for the coming year and enjoyed an abundance of good food and fellowship!

Oliver - youngest cyclist
