		<description><![CDATA[Some of you might remember Justin from his tireless campaign to help me secure a spot on the Specialized Trail Crew, or you might remember him from a series of blog posts that we co-wrote last year. I discovered that he had applied for the Airborne Bicycles Flight Crew for 2012 and so I thought I&#8217;d write a quick blog post on why I think he would be the perfect addition to the team. Aside from being a pretty awesome writer who has been published in magazines like Mountain Flyer and is currently writing for Examiner.com among others, he loves bikes and better yet, he loves writing about them! Just a quick search of his personal blog shows you he&#8217;s a true bike fanatic. Still not convinced? Check out the latest blog he&#8217;s contributing too. He also knows where to find good coffee and beer. Perfect person to bring on a road trip! But best of all&#8230; When Justin isn&#8217;t travelling or riding his bike, he comes up with real gems like this&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well it&#8217;s happened again&#8230; My friend, Pascale, has had another bike stolen. This time from her bike rack, and yes, it was locked to the rack. Looks like thieves are busy again targeting cars looking for Christmas goodies, only they&#8217;ve come prepared with bolt cutters. The image above is her bike, full specs are found here. It&#8217;s a size medium, and was stolen sometime the morning of December 28, 2011. If you see it posted for sale anywhere, please let me know! Here&#8217;s another photo of a similar bike: Uploaded with ImageShack.us]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was lucky to get the Loeka Kulla Bottoms, which are breathable, waterproof, riding pants for Christmas and couldn&#8217;t wait to try them out! I was out on the trails within a couple of hours of opening gifts. Below is a description of these pants found on Loeka&#8217;s website: Loeka&#8217;s seam sealed Kulla Bottoms will keep you warm, dry and riding all winter long and looking good. The light-weight, yet very durable 320D polyester can handle everything you and mother nature throw at it. While the articulated knees keep you moving freely and the mesh lining, sided zip vents keep you comfortable and cool. Staying active on your bike in winter just got stamped with no more excuses!! Okay, I confess, I had tried on these pants before Christmas and dropped a couple of &#8220;not-so-subtle&#8221; hints that I wanted them&#8230; I chose a size small instead of extra-small for one simple reason: they weren&#8217;t long enough in the area between my waist and my hips. The extra-small were the perfect length in the legs for me and were a great fit in the waist, but left me with an unsightly camel toe. Um, yeah&#8230; So a small it was! I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been one to focus on the positive and I have to admit that it drives me nuts when I hear someone complaining about that &#8220;insert ailment here&#8221; that kept them off their bike for a few weeks. I know how disappointing it must have been for them to miss that race and I agree that being in pain is no fun at all. It may have felt like forever, but a few weeks is just a drop in the bucket. Then I want to tell them about truly inspirational people who have overcome the odds like Josh Dueck. It was the video below that first brought him to my attention. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, he didn&#8217;t magically begin to walk again but you&#8217;ll have to watch the video to see what I&#8217;m talking about: I&#8217;ve always admired Tara Llanes&#8217; &#8220;never give up&#8221; attitude as well. Aaron Larocque is making a documentary on her story which I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing when he releases it (release date is still TBD). You can see a bit of her story in the clip below: This is a pre-trailer to a film with Tara Llanes. The film follows her and other paraplegic [...]]]></description>

		<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!

Once again, I&#8217;ve failed miserably&#8230; I thought back on my week and it&#8217;s just a blur. Then I realized I only took one photo! So instead of an article, I&#8217;ve gathered the best videos taken throughout the week that really capture the vibe. Enjoy! BC Bike Race &#8211; I Got A Feeling! from BC Bike Race on Vimeo. BC Bike Race 2011 &#8211; The Race from BC Bike Race on Vimeo. Want to become a BC Bike Race volunteer?? A sense of humour is mandatory! If you want to see more, check out the BC Bike Race website.

		<description><![CDATA[Well I finally did it&#8230; I finally rode the Hammerfest trails! All it took was someone to organize an outing and I was all over it. Now I&#8217;m really wondering why I didn&#8217;t ride them sooner. The trails are pretty easy to find, assuming you know where Englishman River Falls are. That was my downfall&#8230; I had assumed there&#8217;s a sign on the Old Island Highway (I could&#8217;ve sworn there used to be one) and missed my turn, which landed me in Parksville. D&#8217;oh! Not necessarily a bad thing since I got to stop in at Arrowsmith Bikes for a bit since I needed to ask for directions, however this also made me incredibly late meeting everyone and I am so glad they waited for me! I think I owe them all a beer or two for that. Anyway, to get to the trails take the Alberni Highway (there&#8217;s a turnoff in downtown Parksville, the turnoff I was looking for was a shorter route from Courtenay) and turn onto Errington Road. Follow the signs to Englishman River Falls, however the trails are just before that. Keep your eyes open for a logging road on the right hand side with a [...]]]></description>
