		<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[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[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>

Instead of doing the ride we originally had planned, we chose to do Grassy Mountain, which is part of the Bangtail Divide. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 of the first chair, we definitely needed our fleece hoodies. Another chair took us up another 1400&#8242; to the start of the trail. Before starting down the trail we decided to ride up to a lookout area and admire the mountain view. Total elevation &#8211; 9100&#8242;. We had our choice of two trails, both took approximately 2 hours to do. One took us to Cold Springs and the other to Warm Springs. Warm Springs was the more popular of the two so we decided to start with that one. The trail started off on a gentle slope through an alpine meadow before it started to trend downwards and became a fast, flowy ribbon of singletrack! The only hazards on the trail were the odd section of shale that had crumbled off the high side of the trail. It continued like this for miles before the trail [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;t know Idaho had scorpions) but after being assured by one of the Sun Valley locals that they don&#8217;t live in the mountains, we set off to find a place to camp. That&#8217;s when we saw a fox in town. First time I&#8217;d seen one of those too, and of course I didn&#8217;t have my camera handy to catch a photo of either one. The next morning we awoke a bit late, not surprising after the long drive, so we took it easy and went into to town to get ourselves orientated. I had been told that Backwoods Mountain Sports was a good place to go for trail information and it was a good tip. They are all mountain bikers and extremely knowledgeable. We had a good chat with them and after purchasing a trail map, we started to plan where we wanted to ride. One of our criteria for our first ride was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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. The video starts off on the Bevan Trails, connects to Bears Bait, then continues on Two Sheiks (don&#8217;t be deceived, there&#8217;s a long ride up a logging road to get there!), Cabin Fever, Slither, Transmission, and Catnip. Some of my favourite trails&#8230; It&#8217;s approx 40 minutes long and definitely worth watching when you have a moment. Enjoy! BC Bikerace 2010 Day 2 from Gian Malär on Vimeo.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past month has been awesome for some rare sights on the trails. Below are photos of the cool things I&#8217;ve seen over the past month. We&#8217;ve known for a while now that there are cougars in the area we ride on Forbidden Plateau, this is just the first time I&#8217;d seen tracks myself. Then less than a week later, I came across more markings and tracks&#8230; These ones shocked us since they were close to town, less than a 10 minute ride away. Then a little further down the trail we saw more tracks. We must have just missed the cougar when we were on Railroad, the markings were pretty fresh and these tracks led towards the trail. If you look closely you&#8217;ll see my glove is between two prints. After I took the photos of the tracks, a friend of mine saw 3 cougars on Forbidden Plateau while on a group ride. They were on a trail called Cliffe Ave, which isn&#8217;t far from Cabin Fever. So just a reminder to be aware and ride with care! Oh and make lots of noise too because there just might be&#8230; &#8230;a bear on the way to the trailhead! We [...]]]></description>
