Sidenote…people had a fantastic time without drinking too! Lets not get the image out there that it's a drinking contest only.

true that.

it's just that beer makes the climbs go by a lot faster and with less pain!

hmmm maybe see if TSW can do the sea to ski route while on the beer fuel?

Great write up Cam. Amazing event. Can't wait for next years.

Sadly there are no more kick ass Ripper events to look forward to for the rest of the season.

Another reason why I miss Vancouver. The Triple Crown is exactly the kind of ride I'd love to do. Great read too Cam - you make it taste so delisiously salty.

I miss Vancouver!

Do you mean we need to write more articles?

Ahh the triple crown. What a great ride. Like last year's Ripper article suggested, you definitely earn "much bragging rights" for doing that ride. I love the look on visitor's faces when they try to comprehend my ride description while driving over the Second Narrows bridge: "We started over there(pointing to base of Seymour), pedalled up that mountain to that radio tower, then rode down, then pedalled across the base of that mountain (Lynn Peaks), then up to that hump (pointing to Fromme), then down, then all the way over to that mountain over there (Cypress), and then down to the water and back to the bike shop." The first reply has always been, "By bike???"

Maybe next years ripper could include a couple of mega-enduro rides…

Yeah I read that just after I posted my last post. That's unfortunate. Couldn't make it last year and now it seems I'll have to wait till next year to get my chance…
