Well it’s happened again… 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’ve come prepared with bolt cutters. The image above is her bike, full specs are...
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...
This was my third year as a volunteer with the BC Bike Race and every year I have the intention of doing a “day in the life of a BCBR volunteer” article. Once again, I’ve failed miserably… Read more »

Trail closures include 50:1, Short Line, Blue Collar, and Railroad. To stay safe, please honour any signage...
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)....
After riding in Idaho and Montana last summer, I can see why they close some of their trails when it rains. We’re lucky here in Cumberland since most of our trails are rideable year round, however there are some trails that need some TLC during the rainy season.
This is my friend Pascale’s bike that was stolen last night. She’s devastated! She’s a single mom and can’t afford to replace it so I’m hoping it turns up. Unfortunately it sounds like she was targeted. It was stolen near Home Depot on Ryan Road in Courtenay the evening of November 3rd from her...
