Thanks to videos, and trail reviews these trails get the most love. Having lived there for 12 years I knew there was real gold in other areas of town, new gold was business time.

Experience the Mac-Ride

Sharing Your Riding Experience with children – Mac-Ride

Mac-ride is a new take on an old, and dare I say, outdated method to include your kids in your riding. From the old school seat over the back wheel, to the newer larger style that fit under or around the front of the bike we have had methods to carry kids for years on bikes.

The Mac-ride is an innovative variation of this with a small and lean saddle that also allows your child to hold onto the handlebars.… Read the rest

Diagnosis Sarcoidosis

So as you can see from my posts, I have been on a bit of a hiatus. In late December 2017, Christmas to be exact, I was diagnosed with a auto-immune disease called Sarcoidosis. This through my life into a bit of a loop, and besides family, I became very concerned about the future of my riding.

Sarcoidosis effects any organ in your body and more often than not, your lungs and secondary to that your lymph nodes.… Read the rest

Pedaling Innovations Catalyst Ride Report

Flat Pedals – Pedaling Innovations Catalyst

Pedaling Innovations Catalyst against my shoe

Flat pedals, cage pedals, clipless pedals have always been a pain in the… feet. Seriously it is one of my biggest sore spots in mountain biking. In an effort to avoid further puns I will get to the point. With size 15 feet the average pedal is tiny to small. I have always struggled with foot pain, with foot position. Traditionally people, or even myself, would blame my ability to position my feet. Instead of what could be the real culprit, the pedal.… Read the rest

Night Ride – Delta Watershed

Night Ride

This year I really wanted to go on my first night ride. What better spot that the Delta Watershed since I am very familiar with the terrain. The ride itself was as near perfect riding as I could hope for. Rainy, wet, foggy, everything you want when you ride in this part of British Columbia.

I started on upper trail which is a short climb to the firehouse and then a nice single track down.… Read the rest

Trail – Sumas Mountain – Squid Line

Squid Line, Sumas Mountain, BC Canada

Squid Line is rated a green, with some blue features and is a fun fast trail that rides from parking lot to parking lot in a loop. Approx 10km loop (5km up, 5km down) the trail has a lot to offer. The faster you ride the more technical it can feel.

Bontrager SE4 Review

Bontrager SE4 Review

History

On my old 26er mountain bikes, I rode Maxxis exclusively, therefore I wasn’t surprised to see Maxxis as a popular choice in mountain biking still. This Bontrager SE4 review definitely tells a story of being a good tire in specific terrain, with some noticeable drawbacks.

Coaching – Improve my Riding

Coaching – Backstorey

I spent more than a few years with my bike pointed down

Will coaching be worth it? I mentioned this in my About Me however I have some experience riding. Whistler, Squamish and quite a bit of the lower mainland of Vancouver BC. I have even spent time riding in Scottsdale, AZ. I can get by and believe I am pretty good when pointed down.

About 4 months ago I found I was stagnating.… Read the rest
