So long Whistler part 2

‎We leave Whistler again tomorrow for 5 weeks. It's been a bit of a weird time for the past 4 weeks, getting used to the flat and town, and Maria has been trying to get used to yet another oven and practising her winter recipes. The downhill mountain biking season finished a couple of weekends ago and skiing officially starts at the end of November, so while there are still quite a few people wandering around the town it has been fairly quiet and not much going on. 

Weather has been a bit on the wet side - 192mm of rain for the month so far with only 5 days completely dry, but I've managed to get out cycling on most days between the rain, and the legs and lungs are definitely doing better than they were at the start of month .  The peaks and upper runs have had snow for the past couple of weeks, but it hasn't been cold enough for snow yet in the village and valley floor.

Tomorrow we are having a day sightseeing in Vancouver and have opted to stay over so we are closer to the US for Tuesday ‎when we go down to wrap Badger up for the winter and swap bike gear for ski stuff, then fly out on Wednesday.
