Description:

The plan is to summit Pump, Tim Jones, and Mt Seymour peaks via biking and then trail running!

We'd meet at Grounds For Coffee at 7 and wolf down a cinnamon bun before hitting the road. It's about 30km/1100m of biking to the ski resort parking lot, and then about 4km/600m of (slowish) trail running to the summit of Seymour (past Pump and TIm Jones) via Mystery Lake. I estimate ~3h of biking, 4h of running, and then another 2h of biking all-in, putting us back in Kits around dinner time.

You don't need any special experience for this trip, just the leg strength and cardio to bike and then run up a 1500m peak from sea level. If you aren't sure if this trip is for you, shoot me an email/text, happy to chat :)

This trip will only go ahead if the air quality advisory gets lifted (i.e. it gets a bit less smoky)... I have asthma and don't wanna ruin the ol' breathing sacks (lungs). I'll email committed folks on Thursday and we can throw together a few more details.
