My wife bought her Amiti almost 2 years ago and loves it today just as much as the first day. I would concur with all of pmcdonald's well written summary. She (hope I don't jinx us) has had no issues with the gravel tires that came with her bike. The amazing part of the Amiti to me is the number...

After helping out with our Saskatchewan ranch family Charl and I finally get to spend some time living the dream of what retirement should be. We are enjoying the last few days of warm weather camping and biking at Cypress Hills interprovincial park that straddles the provinces of Alberta and...

oh crap, after reading your post I had to go out to the garage and snap a shot of the olin mark 3's, some of the hills you listed above and a lot of others, not as great on hard pack but a soft ski and a dream on powder, just 10 years earlier than yours bought them in 78, once saw them on a...

Finally home from a month of mostly vacation in central BC "bear" country that was pretty isolated. I guess one should listen to that internal voice as the following picture I took with my 11 inch bike shoe beside a grizzly track (when Stefan saw the post on Strava I don't think he picked up on...

As Haystack avoids the 4 legged critters we are trying to keep track of ours out on open range - but it gives me all the excuse I need to pedal around the Bobtail Mountains and even finding some smooth dirt roads that I suspect have seen very little traffic of any sort, lots of blueberry bushes...

As we continue our somewhat working vacation on our family's ranch in the Nechaco Valley of central British Columbia I am exploring lots of forestry trails via the e-bike. With the bear spray dangling from my handlebar one might think I have a bear story to share but no the numerous bear...

I've always wanted to visit Scotland, my step-dad grew up near Aberdeen, (oh yes, years after he passed I still check to see how their football team makes out but really "Celtic" is always in the way) your pictures make that magnet stronger, let's get over this covid obstacle!

funny we were talking about that this morning, the irrigation and mist sprays with the heat seem to be doing their job, now there is a winery in Summerland B.C. (Thornhaven) that plays classical musical at night to encourage their grape crop - oh well to each their own I enjoy happy hour

Steve - the first thing that caught my attention in this picture is lack of forest fire smoke as we have it rolling across here in Southern Alberta. Mind you, that tinder dry grass on roadway . . .

Got the week off on the right foot (or should I say pedal) and made my way up Timber Ridge - fortunately did most of the climb (650 metres in total) in the cool of early morning and was able to do a lot of coasting down in the warm sunshine. Timber Ridge is in the background of the first...

Lee Martin - I was so envious of your ride in the rain, finally I see clouds on our horizon so hopefully we will cool off - the one good thing about the heat spell is you need to get out early to log some miles - today's ride took me across Pine Coulee at two spots - these foothills track for...

nice - fantastic pictures and video - they will go a long way in convincing my better half to take the same trip but maybe skip over the grizzly bear somehow - hmm, I've been meaning to get a new bear spray canister to replace my out of date one . . .

Ah good point Art this is confusing

Dallant - you will sort it out and have a blast with your new emtb - not an expert by any means but I found like Randall mentions drop your seat post and even if you don't still stick your butt way out past where the seat would be and lower your arms and body as close to your handlebars as...

thanks so much, that bucket list just keeps getting bigger

c'mon Steve - a few more details about the "where" in case you BC folks let us Albertans across the line - o.k. I seem to get across the line more than I would admit - but , what an amazing province for outdoor recreation especially biking . . .

thanks Stefan, I had best look after this one as the cost of a new one has gone through the roof, Bill

Like Rab I needed a change of scenery for my bike rides and found it in spades at my daughter's new ranch in central British Columbia, we had helped them with their 2000 km move from Saskatchewan in early April to what seemed to me at the time the end of the world southwest of Prince George. Of...

thanks for the lets go biking reference, definitely going to pursue those books, I have toured the Kettle Valley rail road trails extensively, the Naramata wine tour is even better if you can get dropped off on the mountain at the trail head near Kelowna and pedal to Penticton and work up that...
