That pretty much sums up our ride tonight! We don’t know what it is, but Isabelle and I are absolutely addicted to night riding. We’re not sure if it just puts a new spin on old trails, or having the trails to ourselves? Either way, we think we may have our friend, JF, addicted...
…when you go to do your laundry and it’s almost all mountain biking gear! I ride between 3-5 times a week but this week was an excellent one for me. Last April I suffered an avulsion fracture to my right ankle, along with some other soft tissue damage, and this week is the first...
Ah, feels good to be back on my bike! After we both spent the last week on the couch with colds, we finally got back out there and couldn’t have picked a better day! Since we were both feeling good and well rested, we decided to go for a distance ride yesterday vs a...
Every September, the Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR) is held here in Cumberland, BC and this year was their 10th anniversary. I would like to congratulate my friend, Isabelle, and her race partner, Eddy B, for coming in 2nd in the Sport category! Awesome job guys!
Well okay, the week isn’t over yet! The weather here has been great so I’ve been taking advantage of it. I didn’t ride Tuesday to recover from the Plunge on Monday (ankle was a bit sore afterwards) and then did an easy night ride with Colin last night. He finally found the charger for...
No, I’m definitely not suffering from it, that’s the name of my new favourite trail! I was first introduced to Cabin Fever by Colin last fall but only got to ride it once before I left to spend a long, cold Winter in Regina, SK. We’ve ridden it a couple of times in the...
Every year here in Cumberland we lose a trail or two to the logging industry. The majority of our trails are built on privately owned land, and while the logging companies work with us to save some of the trails, sometimes it’s unavoidable. This time we lost another of my favourite trails, Soggy Biscuit....
We got home from our Kootenay adventure last Saturday night and on the drive back I noticed that it’s starting to get dark a lot earlier in the evenings now and my first thought… Time to start night riding! So I fired off a text to my friend, Isabelle, who I knew also had...
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! However the brewery’s real claim to fame is being the birthplace...
http://www.specializedriders.com/blog/1/post/show/2384 A chance to demo a 2010 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR for a year and all I have to do is write about it? Is this for real? Those were my exact thoughts when I heard about this contest so I figured, why not? I could start my blog by going on about my days...
