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.
