		<description><![CDATA[After watching From the Inside Out a few of us were stoked to go for a ride the next day. We had our first snowfall here last week and we knew there would be snow on the trails, but I really wasn&#8217;t expecting as much snow as this&#8230; So much snow, but yet, so awesome! So we bundled up, got on our bikes (my friends on their DH bikes, me on my Stumpy) and got ready to ride! The video tells the story&#8230; You might recognize some of the trails, they were in my video over here. Enjoy!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it nice to slow down and enjoy the easier trails. Below is a video of some of my favourite lower Cumberland trails. They&#8217;re short trails with lots of roots and lots of flow which are fun to cruise. We typically ride these trails at the end of the ride however, they&#8217;re also great trails to link together when you&#8217;re short on time. Lower Cumberland Trails]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was my birthday yesterday and we decided to hire Island Mountain Rides and do some sweet shuttles on Forbidden Plateau to celebrate last Saturday. Martin was our guide for the day and it was great to step aside and let him do all of the organizing. All I needed to do was pick six friends to join us and give them the place and time! All but two of the group had ridden the trails on Forbidden Plateau before so Martin gave them a rundown of what to expect before we set off. We managed to get two shuttles in. The first took us down Cabin Fever, Gecko, Green Dome, Black Dog, Transmission, and Cat Nip (same route as the video I did last week). The second shuttle we started off on 2 Sheiks and a Dog before hooking back into Cabin Fever and over to Slither. We finished that ride on Transmission and Cat Nip as well. A big thank you to Brock for being our shuttle driver! Without you we couldn&#8217;t have done the two shuttles. The star of the day was Marc, who is making a comeback after taking a hiatus from mountain biking for a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I decided to catch last night&#8217;s ride on the GoPro to give myself some experience with this video editting stuff&#8230; This is one of my favourite trails on Forbidden Plateau called Cabin Fever, which is also a feeder for a sweet set of trails. The video captures upper Cabin Fever as well as parts of Gecko near the end. We continued on down Green Dome and connected back onto Cabin Fever, but unfortunately it was too dark in the trees to capture that bit. I hope you enjoy it!

		<description><![CDATA[Well I finally did it&#8230; I finally rode the Hammerfest trails! All it took was someone to organize an outing and I was all over it. Now I&#8217;m really wondering why I didn&#8217;t ride them sooner. The trails are pretty easy to find, assuming you know where Englishman River Falls are. That was my downfall&#8230; I had assumed there&#8217;s a sign on the Old Island Highway (I could&#8217;ve sworn there used to be one) and missed my turn, which landed me in Parksville. D&#8217;oh! Not necessarily a bad thing since I got to stop in at Arrowsmith Bikes for a bit since I needed to ask for directions, however this also made me incredibly late meeting everyone and I am so glad they waited for me! I think I owe them all a beer or two for that. Anyway, to get to the trails take the Alberni Highway (there&#8217;s a turnoff in downtown Parksville, the turnoff I was looking for was a shorter route from Courtenay) and turn onto Errington Road. Follow the signs to Englishman River Falls, however the trails are just before that. Keep your eyes open for a logging road on the right hand side with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Timberwest has given us the heads up that they have added another area to be logged in addition to the area they forwarned us about in March. They will also be logging around the Allen Lake area. Trail closures include 50:1, Short Line, Blue Collar, and Railroad. To stay safe, please honour any signage or visible signs of logging activities including sounds or visibly seeing equipment. Debris can be thrown hundreds of meters during harvesting. For more information, please check out the bulletin on the CVMTB and UROC sites.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those last minute rides always seem to be the best&#8230; I wasn&#8217;t sure if I was going to get a chance to ride this weekend since the weather was looking less than stellar and I heard that the trails in Sooke can get pretty muddy after heavy rainfall (turned out to be not true). I was getting ready to leave Courtenay to head to Victoria for some meetings when I saw that there was some blue sky mixed in with the clouds. That sealed it, I turned around and got my bike! The next morning I met up with Allen from Westcoast Outdoor in the parking lot for the Harbourview trails in Sooke. Allen was my guide for the day. We had chatted on Twitter and planned a bit of a &#8220;tweetup&#8221; however we were the only two to show up. We only saw another group of 3 on bikes and ran into some horseback riders and hikers on the fireroad heading to the trailhead. The weather was supposed to turn nasty that afternoon and I&#8217;m sure it kept people away. However it wasn&#8217;t looking too bad so we decided to head to the peak of Mt Quimper. On the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t intend on riding alone in the dark, it just kind of happened&#8230; I originally planned on going for a ride much, much earlier, but then work got in the way. I made the mistake of checking my email before leaving the house and you know how that goes&#8230; At 4:30pm I finally headed out and decided to ride Moe&#8217;s Misery. Moe&#8217;s is a nice easy trail close to the Trent River in Royston. It starts at sea level so I knew it would be snow free and it doesn&#8217;t get nearly as wet and soggy as some of the trails in Cumberland can get. It&#8217;s also a trail I know well. One of the things I really like about the trail is listening to the water flow along the river below. It&#8217;s also gorgeous in the Fall when the leaves start to change colour. I find it&#8217;s a great ride at the end of the day or when you don&#8217;t have much time as it&#8217;s a quick out and back, 45 minutes total at a moderate pace and almost no fire road. I was really enjoying the ride this evening, it was just me and Katie the wonder [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Comox Valley Record Published: October 21, 2010 6:00 PM A beaver statue that had been carved into a broken-off tree on a Cumberland mountain bike trail was cut down and removed Sunday afternoon. The vandal(s) replaced Stanley the Beaver with a cross carved into the stump with a chainsaw. The beaver’s hands were holding an empty can of Thirsty Beaver beer, which was left sitting atop the cross. Those who use the Thirsty Beaver trail, especially out-of-town visitors, regularly had their picture taken alongside the carving. The carving was created by a member of the River Rats, a volunteer group that built the trail between last October and May of this year. The men and women volunteers include mountain bikers, trail runners and adventure racers. The Thirsty Beaver has become one of the two most popular trails in Cumberland, along with Blue Collar. It includes about 400 metres of elevated trail on hand-split cedar ramps, bridges and logs. Photos of Thirsty Beaver have appeared in the English Singletrack magazine. In addition, the television show Ride Guide has taken video for a coming episode. The Thirsty Beaver name derives from the beer most Rats drink after a hard day’s work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We managed to sneak one last ride in before heading home. Butte was on the way and John had mentioned that Beaver Ponds was a great trail so we met him at International Coffee Traders in Bozeman first thing in the morning and headed out. And weather-wise, our luck had changed. It was a beautiful sunny day! Beaver Ponds is found in Pipestone Pass, just south of Butte. It took us approximately an hour to drive there from Bozeman and we&#8217;re glad we were following John, even if he did try to take us on the scenic tour&#8230; We probably would have missed the trailhead otherwise. (The trailhead is marked where we exited, but not where we started.) The Beaver Ponds trail is sandy and quite a bit drier than the clay based trails we rode the previous day. It started off with a gentle climb straight from the highway and into the trees where it started to level out before the climbing again. Luckily the climbing here was a gentler grade than Grassy Mountain. Luckily the ride was more social than getting a workout in so it was a relaxed pace. The trail is lined by large boulders which [...]]]></description>
