💚 HOW LUCKY ARE WE?!
This week I once again managed to combine a work trip scouting for a race with an adventure with my boys.
Last year, scouting for World Champs took my partner and me into some pretty incredible untouched places, which my kids eventually got to experience during the race. This time I thought… why wait for the race?
Why not bring them along for the discovery part?
While I did some of the slightly less exciting work of checking transition areas, access points and logistics, they could hit the bike parks with their friends. Everybody wins. 🙌
Now, I won’t lie. One adult taking four teenage boys camping - with four mountain bikes and all the gear that goes with them - for a week is… an undertaking.
But they wanted to be there so badly that they pulled their weight. They set up camp, loaded bikes, packed up wet gear, helped with meals and did their best to keep the mud out of the vehicle. Their best. 🫣😂
More than anything, they were just so pumped to be there.
Their energy was contagious.
And somewhere between the work, the camping chaos, the muddy gear and shuttling four teenagers and their bikes around, I was reminded of the power of simply making these things happen.
Did bringing them add work to my work week? Absolutely.
Was it worth it? Every single bit.
They added a whole lot more stoke to Revelstoke, shined a little extra silver into SilverStar, explored somewhere new with their friends… and I got a captive audience for my mom jokes all week. 😂
I’ll call that a win.
Thanks for exploring this stunning province with me, boys. Keep saying yes to the adventures, and I’ll keep finding ways to take you along.
How lucky are we?! 💚
