This past spring we got screwed on snow!!!!Really screwed!!

But on the BRIGHT side… that meant that we got to ride bikes really early. So with the suggestion by Bill, why not start it off with a rip on Blackrock mountain in Kananaskis, Ab.

Black rock is a great ride/hike to experience any time let alone to start the season off. An out and back epic that showcases some of the best there is in the Rockies.

The push

 

SEDONA, AZ

On my annual trip to visit pops in Phoenix i try and sneak up to the north and get in some early season shred in Sedona,

With the world being as small as it is I just happened to find out my buddy Tara was in the middle of an epic month long bike road trip and headed Sedona way

Tara imported her buddy Geoff to show her the H’s in Sedona and i joined in for most of it.

The beginning of the Hangover.

Tara crushing the crux!!

I wound up bored one day this spring ad took a fatbike out to Minniwanka for a rip. beauty day for a bike ride. it was beautiful out on the ice riding around.

With another riding season just around the corner, its time to showcase a  few drool worthy custom builds from the team at Outside bike and Ski in Canmore.

The words ‘cost effective’ and ‘financially viable’ don’t usually come to mind when talking about high end carbon mountain bikes, but I don’t think that really matters in the end does it?

Our good friends at Visa and Mastercard can foot the bill for now, while we get to enjoy the finished product!
