A classic trail !

Munny in the clouds

If you have the chance to ride or run out in Pemberton. Go for it ! Even if the weather in Pissler(whistler) is making you think that you should be building an Ark. Head out to P-town for a little dryer conditions. The Crew was Chris Milner, Kevin Hodder (K-ho) and Myself. Both Milner & K-ho have never been out on the trails here and were stoked to have someone show them what P-town has to offer.
I was on my new Gaint Anthem x2 , with a nice 20mm XT tubeless wheel set. I love this trail, this bike was made for it. The bike climbs like a dream, and with the extra strength up front for the DH sections. At 26.5 lbs, this is a weapon.

I showed them the trail of the Nimby50 race. The first half is a technical Single Track for 11km and has 101 switchbacks. Yeah, that's right 101 switchbacks. The low fog gave the forest a real cool feeling to the ride.

Here is the map from the ride, with speed and distance. We were in no rush, I wanted them to enjoy the ride and come back for more. This is a great epic single track ride. If you like that sort of stuff................... Ride for life.

A great new training tool

As the season move into next race season. There are sometimes that I just can't motivate myself to get out side and run in 2 degrees and snowing sideways weather. Today was one of them, after 1 hr 40 min in the gym. I still had to get a hour run, so I took the next option. Inside e-motion rollers after a hour on them you will be sweating. You actually ride your bike, only indoors. Also you really have to be on your game. If not, you are going head first into the drywall Check out my little demo.


I am also riding my new Giant TCR 3, pretty slicked training tool. Now I wish I could go outside and play with it.
