Talked my friend into doing the air bag at Highland yesterday, didn't take long until he was doing 360s!

Whip!

Starting to dry out here in JH, a few shots from this weekend ride around Snow King & Cache Creek:

A few from last night... I went over to some new trails in my old neighborhood to take pictures for the local bike group. Not the most gnar singletrack, but the views are killer and it's fun for them to have something close-by.

^^^ Such a pleasure to have trails right next to where you live especially of quality like that

Yep. Plus, my friend (in shot #3) can ride with his 6-yr old without worrying about clogging up the trails or having people run him over.

Yeah, really digging what they've done up there. Its less than a 5 minute ride from my house, so I'm out riding most mornings and any afternoon I don't ride elsewhere. Can get about 5-7 miles in a half hour door-to-door. Can't beat that! The tall grass is really making things a ton of fun. They need to work on some of the rollers though. If you like to catch air, there's a ton of them where they're spaced just a little too far apart to create transitions, so it really gives your suspension a workout in all the wrong ways. The berms are pretty well built though.

Took this Shot of Spats on Monday in between riding Tyrolian and Chimney, both are riding great. Chimney still had a handful of unridable drifts at the top and a couple trees down

Do you find that trail rides better north to south? Only rode it once, south to north, when I lived in Tahoe. healthy climb, interesting although not exhilarating ride along the side of the lake, then a pretty fun and fast fire road descent. Had some great rides when I lived in North Lake!

Rode it a few weeks ago and agree on all points. Even think I enjoy the west side trails better than the newer stuff on the east side. But as was already said, can't beat having those right there.

Agreed. Westside flows better than eastside.

Some trailwork - dealing with a muddy spot that's been a problem for a while

off to Campbell River to ride. Haven't been back there in over 10 years. 100kms+ of trails for a town of 30,000 people!

Thanks to Martin for showing us around and Les for the drive. Thanks to Dolphins Resort for such a nice place to stay and the huge breakfasts.

Last but not least shout out to Tourism Vancouver Island and BC Ferries for the support
