Winnipeg Day 1: missed flights and cable found.

Started off the trip in true style this morning. Woke up at 6:35 am to catch a 7:00 am flight, ya do the math. So after a brief freak out, I accepted my fate and paid for a second flight that got me out of Ottawa by 9:00 am and into to Winnipeg at 12:30 local time. No harm done I guess.

(not a happy camper)

Once landed, I headed straight to the hotel to check in and meet up with Yan Tibo who flew in from Montreal this morning. Now it was finally time to make our way to the brand new cable we were promised over at Adrenaline Adventures. Now at this point we finally understood that we had no idea where this cable was and how to get there. So we hired a cab and trusted he could lead us to the promise land right? not even!

So with a little help from the cabbie's trusted road map, the cable park was finally within our sites. Pretty much in the middle of nowhere, flat as fuck, and surrounded by farmer's fields there lied Canada's newest wake park paradise. Without further ado, Tibo and I quickly strapped in rode the rest of the day away.

Meanwhile my brother Justin was making his way all the way from Timmins (-> toronto -> ottawa -> winnipeg). He then followed our lead and headed straight to the cable for his share of the fun. Unfortunately for Justin, his ride out to the cable did not go so smoothly. Almost 2 hours later and 70$ worth of cab fare, Justin finally made it to the cable only to ride one lap before it shut down for the day. 


And so with that, things start back up tomorrow for Day 1 of the Monster Energy WWA Triple Crown at 9:30am. Justin and I will be riding in the obstacles only division, and hoping to qualify for Saturday's semi finals and finals....stay tuned.
