The Canonball Run
"My driving is rivaled only by the lightning bolts in heaven" The Sheik (The Canonball Run)
The last installment of my personal photos from Whislter takes us to the tubing and the drive home. After ski-dooing we stopped off for our only healthy meal of the weekend at The Old Spaghetti Factory. Just like in Vancouver they gave you plenty of free bread. We then headed up to the tubing runs where I narrowly missed being hit by a snowboarder.
The tubing itself was fun. You bascially sit in a rubber ring and get shoved off down a slope at a high velocity. One mad Austrian guy who worked there also spun us as we went down and you'd often fly down backwards. Being the pro tuber he is Gav said that the conditions weren't that good for tubing. After the tubing we drove back home stopping off in Squashmish for a Tim Hortons.
Looking out to Whistler village
Insaide the cable car. The tubing excitement is about to reach overload
Bottom of the tubing slope
See the nervous look in Ian's face. He knows it's going to be rough down that slope
Simon looking very relaxed
Ready to go down in style
Simon and Chris proudly display their Sunderland shirts at the top of the tubing run. The first time Sunderland have been on top of anything for a while. Told you I had one Simon, told you I had one
The tubing slopes of doom
The gang getting ready to slide down
There's the car I drove on the left
Tim Horton's all the way

How's life back in England, you just dissappeared on Friday night. Like a Sunderland centre forward in a Premiership game.
