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...
I decided to catch last night’s ride on the GoPro to give myself some experience with this video editting stuff… 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...
After riding in Idaho and Montana last summer, I can see why they close some of their trails when it rains. We’re lucky here in Cumberland since most of our trails are rideable year round, however there are some trails that need some TLC during the rainy season.
I came across this video the other day by Gian Malar who was a racer at the BC Bike Race this year. He did a great job catching the Forbidden portion of the race on his helmet cam.
This past month has been awesome for some rare sights on the trails. Below are photos of the cool things I’ve seen over the past month.

After last weekend’s ride I made a New Year’s Resolution to ride more and after waking to a half decent day (meaning we didn’t wake to the sound of rain bouncing off the windows) we finally got out on the trails again. We also thought it would be nice to ride downhill for a...
We went for another awesome ride with friends on Forbidden last Wednesday and we couldn’t help but notice that more drainage work was done to lower Cabin Fever and Transmission is rideable! Looks like our friend Ryder* (not his real name) has managed to get out and do some more trail work… Ryder is...
It’s been a busy couple of weeks so I apologize for the lack of posts. Luckily I’ve still been able to get out on a few rides on my bike! Most recently we marked my favourite trail, Cabin Fever, for night riding. There were a few spots where it was easy to get off...
It seems to be where I’m doing most of my riding these days. Not that I don’t like Cumberland, but the trails over on Forbidden Plateau are a bit more challenging, a lot more fun, and you can do them as a shuttle and skip the grueling climb! Not that I’m lazy, but climbing...
