That’s the quandary that I faced on one occasion. If you recall, my desire to ride a non-powered ultra light weight mtb would have been ideal on a hike and bike last season to the top of the Prairie View Trail in K Country. The last 100 meters or so required that I carry the Levo up to the...

I took our Fumpa on a recent overseas trip and it worked out great. We plan on doing it again this year. The extension nozzle is uber handy.

Bacon strips? I would think a side or slab might be cheaper over the long run. ;)I carry a dynaplugger but haven’t needed it yet and hope I won't have to. I also carry a small bottle of Stans on the trail and haven’t had a puncture yet. What is your preferred method for prepping tires for...

Gorgeous. I’m afraid that we weren’t as fortunate although we did see the lights faintly moving above us there was no shimmer of color whatsoever. Today the skies are filled with wildfire smoke from northern BC so no riding today or even chance viewings of the lights I'm afraid.

I took to the singles yesterday including several at the local mtb park. There were a number of downed trees that likely were casualties of the wind storm that blew in last week. Coincidentally, Arbor Day was also celebrated around the same time and reminds us of the importance of our trees and...

Frankly my dear, I don't give a dam.

Impressive Macgyvering there, Charge! 👍You need to take that ride to a pump park and show the kids how it’s really done.

What makes you think that he would need one? ;)

An early evening ride is too good to pass up particularly when conditions were fine as they were tonight. Weather wise, it was quite a transformation from yesterday when wind driven rain gusting up to 75 kph at times had everyone seeking shelter indoors.

Nice looking bike and great rack/pannier setup. Did you opt for the QR dropout mounts? I like the versatility of their universal thru axle kit which allows me to fit the rack on to several different bikes.

Year rounder here too though I’m the first to admit that the snowy season isn’t my favorite time to ride. Having the right tool for the job does come with benefits and so wintry outings are far preferable than being confined to an indoor trainer. It goes without saying that summer rides are...

Awesome feat Rab! Well done. 👍It was too windy yesterday so I decided instead to hit the trails plus heavy rain is expected to fall on our region over the next three days. I rode two usual trails followed up by a gnarly DH section called the Phoenix. It branches off less than a kilometer in...

Sai didn’t feel any need for a recovery day so off we on for another 35km outing today at her request. Gusting southeasterlies were of little concern since this ride would be relatively brief. Only one other roadie encounter on this ride despite it being a weekend. More farm machinery on...

That Grizl is one good looking allrounder and I really like those integrated taillights. She sports an older Varia RVR315 which is mounted on the saddle rails of her Creo. The Cygolite Hot Shot on the seat stay is still quite visible though I don’t think it holds a candle to her Cannondale. Her...

Every spring around this time, we ride out to the historic city of Lacombe, AB which is widely known for its rich heritage and culture. Landmarks such as the Flatiron building, Michener house, the Lacombe Blacksmith Shop and the many colorful murals are permanent highlights for this thriving...

If you already have a lid, the Sena Pi could be considered a viable option as a basic lightweight comm system. My wife and I use them and they work adequately enough on short to med distance rides but we’ve also had two replaced on warranty due to battery life concerns. Just be forewarned that...

Sorry to hear of the loss of your good friend. Sounds like he enjoyed life to its fullest right up to the last day. Despite losing track of your group, it appeared that you had a decent ride and were able to sample its sweet rewards. 🍰🍦

Speaking of Ti bikes and promoted as the smallest folder with 24" wheels, I liked the direction where this innovative Canadian built bike was going so much that I pre-purchased a couple of standard units when they were first offered for sale to the public at a reduced price of $1600 US/bike...

Despite how dismal the weather prediction for yesterday sounded, I felt more reassured when I arose to see the sun shining brightly in the sky. However, the wind gusts continued unabated so I decided to forgo any road pursuits favoring to hit the local trails instead. The missus wasn’t going to...
