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...
Those last minute rides always seem to be the best… I wasn’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 didn’t intend on riding alone in the dark, it just kind of happened… 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…
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...
Just as I was starting to think we wouldn't get a chance to ride in Bozeman, our luck changed. The sun came out and we made a new plan. Instead of doing the ride we originally had planned, we chose to do Grassy Mountain, which is part of the Bangtail Divide.
For our second ride in Sun Valley we decided take the chair to the top of Bald Mountain. We parked at the River Run Plaza, bought our tickets and headed up. It was a cloudy and windy day and the ride up the chair was definitely chilly. By the time we reached the top...
After two solid days of driving and watching the elevation steadily increase, we finally rolled into Sun Valley. On the drive there, I started to wonder what we were in for when I saw a rather large scorpion cross the road just north of Boise (I didn’t know Idaho had scorpions) but after being...
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.
