Go forth and ride, then bring back pics

New-to-me local spot. Tiny, but fast and fun. Perfect for a quicky or going for a run with the pooch. A bunch of small loops, steep up and down with a lot of chunk in most spots. 4 miles of trail crammed into a town park of about 150 acres. 15 minutes from my house, never new it existed until yesterday. Dumb.


Yeah, it's blurry because I'm moving so damn fast. Yeah, that's the ticket.

"not a ride unless ya bleed, only hurts if the bone shows" is not a rule i like to live by but some days it's just unavoidable. product of early season bang the rust off perhaps?

I've always been jealous of you guys who get to start riding in April or even earlier. So after years of waiting until May or June to ride in the Alberta Rockies, I was stoked to now be living on the B.C. side of the Divide, and today had a fun ride on a trail that was in prime condition.

The trail is in the Eager Hills near Cranbrook B.C., about a 20-minute drive from where I live in Kimberley. A fun and flowy single track that winds through pine, larch and fir forest, and then breaks out into grasslands with views of the Purcell and Rocky Mountains.

There's nothing more fun than riding a trail for the first time!

Obligatory beauty shot of my trusty old crosscountry bike.


Perfect tacky dirt.


Nice views of winter still in full effect not that much higher up.

What tires are you running in that pic?

[Conundrum]

WTB Dissents. They're decent. They seem to last awhile, they can be had cheap, and they don't ride too bad either.

A little season change in Summit. This is from a couple of weeks ago right before the ice melted.

Man! You guys get to ride in some truly awesome places!

[that dude who did that thing]

SWMBO got her new used ride last night, so it was definitely time to get out this a.m.


Unfortunately, me and the 15-y-o "Mad Bikentist" who live sin my house and eats my food

must have overdone our efforts to loosen up tight links on an old chain, and on the first attempt, we made it a mile up the trail before this ended up in the wrong place.

You generally don't want it down there. And you generally don't want your rescue tool buried in a backpack somehwere in the house if it does end up down there. I did a chainless downhill to get the bike back to the house, quick fix and we were back at it. Nice climb broughnt us this

And my efforts on the build got me this (trust me, she's happier than she looks):

Followed by this:


Ride was a blast.
