The Leprechauns hit Vancouver



St Patrick's Day always brings out the best in everyone doesn't it? This year we couldn't just leave the festivites at Green Beer and some Irish tunes at the local pub. We needed to take it one step further, needed to mix things up here in Vancouver so Jill, Cole (Jill's best buddy and the guy we are staying with out here) and I hit up the local Value Village thrift shop and turned ourselves into proper little leprechauns! It was a blast. Complete with facial hair and home-made paper belt/shoe buckles I think it is safe to say that we made all the partiers smile!

I spent the day with the Norco crew today building up my new 4X and integrating my DH headset. I can't wait to get out and race these new bikes. Another cool surprise for me when I hit the factory........they gave me my own Wall! I was just bugging Mark about when I could have my own massive poster and bike display at the factory. He gave a sly little chuckle and kept walking and next thing I knew I came up the stairs and WHAM - there I was. Pretty cool.
