With the advent of an early start to the bike season in the Canadian Rockies we have had a chance to get out riding a bit West of us in Inverere, BC.
Some of the first sunny rides were on the Kloosifer trail up towards Panorama Mountain resort. Its a great zone to start the season off with due to its exposure to the sun and limited snowfall.
Me and Green John headed out and got a few nice shots and some great dirt on our tires…
Next trip out was Marisas first ride of the year and the last on her Rocky Mountain Element 930.
Kanu came along for one of her first rides of the year and loved every minute of it!!!
What a great way to start the season off in early march….
John put some long hours and lots of thought into this custom rig. More carbon on this stealth steed than you can poke a stick at (unless the stick is carbon….which it is)

Clean and simple..
A classy 140mm travel trail bike from Outside Bike and Ski.1 x 10 , KS dropper post, tubeless wheels and some fancy purple bits!!
Keeping things simple with a 28T front ring and a modified XT cassette on the back (11-42)
All the extra OneUp components help keep the XT shifting smooth. 16 tooth cog and a Rad cage paired with an Ethirteen 42T climbing gear.
Lesson 1 on making a bike look girly….accessorise!!
North Shore Billet lets this crank  run smaller than a 30T ring with a direct mount system. No front derailleur…no worries!!
Happiness is a new bicycle…
