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...
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!
