First lap of Whistler - EZ Does It [Ep#55]
After months of planning and waiting, and watching videos from other YouTubers, and waiting some more, I finally get to ride Whistler.
I'm with my best mate, Mike, who hasn't ridden a bike in nearly three years - and that time it didn't end well!
So we're being cautious, responsible guys and taking a lap of EZ Does It to get used to the rental bikes and trails.
We stayed at the Sundial Hotel and rented the bikes from Gateway Bikes and had great service from both places. Highly recommend.

Droppin' In - First reactions to Whistler Bike Park
How big, steep, fast, hard, sketchy and gnarly is Whistler Bike Park? Does it live up to the hype?
Droppin’ in to A-line is a dream for any mountain biker. But with limited experience on a bike, how achievable is it? Does it inspire confidence or paralyse you with fear.
We’ll explore the park and get some unique footage to show just how gnarly this place is.

Bikes on Arterials in Vancouver: Riding on the Seaside Bike Route
A demonstration of what it's like to ride along a on-road bike route in Kitsilano (Vancouver, BC) (see ). Apologies for the sniffs and breath sounds, I had quite a cold on the day I filmed this ride. This video demonstrates issues with some of the bike routes. In particular see 7:40 in as the bike route cuts through a parking lot (!) and what can happen.

Client testimonial - January'12 Peter, Thank-you for the use of the apartment, it was superb value for money and the location was perfect. It was great to be in the marketplace, so near to the Supermarkets, Banks and Coffee Shops.....perfect for a quick 'pick me up' before heading up the slopes. The accommodation was to a very high standard as we had hoped and the HD TV installation after a couple of days, was most welcome! Having such a well facilitated apartment meant that we could fully enjoy the trip to Whistler, and that we certainly did. We had perfect snow (11 feet since the start of Jan I believe!) and the Held Drop would have to be the highlight of the trip. I would be happy to recommend the apartment, the hassle free online booking procedure to anyone and we hope to use this or perhaps one of your other apartments in the future. Once again, many thanks and I hope you have a good season. Kind Regards, James
Client Testimonial #2 We thank you so much for the excellent accommodation you provided us, the family voted your apartment the best by miles during our month in Canada. Whistler is the most incredible resort area with fabulous service given with smiles and genuine hospitality from the top of those majestic mountains to the bottom. We are already planning our return! Skiing is now the families favorite holiday sport. Thank you again, we will recommend you to our friends and family.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Lowell is a city in the U.S. Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Located in Middlesex County, Lowell (along with Cambridge) was a county seat until Massachusetts disbanded county government in 1999. With an estimated population of 109,945 in 2014, it is the fourth-largest city in Massachusetts, and the second-largest in the Boston metropolitan statistical area. The city is also part of a smaller Massachusetts statistical area called Greater Lowell, as well as New England's Merrimack Valley region.
Incorporated in 1826 to serve as a mill town, Lowell was named after Francis Cabot Lowell, a local figure in the Industrial Revolution. The city became known as the cradle of the American Industrial Revolution, due to a large series of textile mills and factories. Many of the Lowell's historic manufacturing sites were later preserved by the National Park Service to create Lowell National Historical Park. During the Cambodian genocide, the city took in an influx of refugees, leading to a Cambodia Town and America's second-largest Cambodian-American population.Lowell is home to two institutions of higher education.
