Well I didn’t get shortlisted. Although I’m really not surprised since I don’t lead group rides (not lately anyway) and I haven’t formed some sort of club outside of my own group of friends. However, I am surprised Colin wasn’t picked. I get to see how much effort he puts into maintaining http://cvmtb.com and...

Anxiously Waiting…
I checked my Twitter account this morning and saw this: @iamspecialized Meeting in one hour to finalize Stumpjumper Trail Crew entries with the rest of the MTB team. Final announcement very soon.about 4 hours ago from TweetDeck I can’t wait to see who they choose! I’ve been watching the blogs come in and have...
MOMAR Weekend!
Every September, the Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR) is held here in Cumberland, BC and this year was their 10th anniversary. I would like to congratulate my friend, Isabelle, and her race partner, Eddy B, for coming in 2nd in the Sport category! Awesome job guys!
Another great week of riding :)
Well okay, the week isn’t over yet! The weather here has been great so I’ve been taking advantage of it. I didn’t ride Tuesday to recover from the Plunge on Monday (ankle was a bit sore afterwards) and then did an easy night ride with Colin last night. He finally found the charger for...
Cabin Fever…
No, I’m definitely not suffering from it, that’s the name of my new favourite trail! I was first introduced to Cabin Fever by Colin last fall but only got to ride it once before I left to spend a long, cold Winter in Regina, SK. We’ve ridden it a couple of times in the...
Logging strikes again…
Every year here in Cumberland we lose a trail or two to the logging industry. The majority of our trails are built on privately owned land, and while the logging companies work with us to save some of the trails, sometimes it’s unavoidable. This time we lost another of my favourite trails, Soggy Biscuit....
Mmmmm… Riding in the dark :)
We got home from our Kootenay adventure last Saturday night and on the drive back I noticed that it’s starting to get dark a lot earlier in the evenings now and my first thought… Time to start night riding! So I fired off a text to my friend, Isabelle, who I knew also had...
Day 7 – Rossland and Christina Lake, BC
Last night we decided to continue on to Castlegar in anticipation for a day in Rossland, BC. Rossland is also known for its awesome mountain biking and is often featured in mountain biking films. We stopped in at Revolution Cycles and Service and got a trail map for the area as well as more...
Day 6 – Creston and Nelson, BC
Mmmmmm….. Beer….. First place we hit today, the Columbia Brewery! Every ride deserves a nice, cold beer as a reward at the end and the Columbia Brewery is where the official beer of Cumberland, BC comes from. Yup, you guessed it, Lucky Lager! However the brewery’s real claim to fame is being the birthplace...
Day 5 – Kimberley, BC
Brrrrrr!!!! It is cold in the mountains! Sometime in the middle of the night I checked the temperature online with my Blackberry and it was a balmy 2 degrees Celcius. I still froze under a sleeping bag rated to -7 degrees Celcius, a down duvet and merino wool thermal underwear. We were originally thinking...
