hmmm....I ride that trail a little differently then Steve

Good article Cam. I demo'd an ebike last year and my feelings were very similar to yours. I'll probably add one to the quiver at some point just not ready (mentally or financially) yet.

A few comments here about switching to road biking in order to reduce risk. Maybe it's just me but I feel way safer on the trials then on the road.

Great, thanks

Thanks for the review. What saddle are you using?

I try to remain as open as possible to arguments from both sides of the gun debate however, the one thing I don't understand or at least haven't heard a convincing argument is why does one need to have an AR-15 rifle or it's equivalent?

It seems overkill for home protection and hunting and probably wouldn't be the weapon of choice for either of these purposes (or so I've read, I don't know anything about guns). So, if it isn't for protection or hunting then is it merely for hobby?

I don't care about regular peddle ebikes but these are like emoto's... Top  speed 90km/h

Out for a night ride last night on Fromme and saw 3 dudes on those Cake ebikes ripping around.....super fast, throttle only. 

Are these things legal on the trails?

done

Is Lower Executioner the part below Dreamweaver or the part below where Ramble On starts?

Get well Flatch. I had an ablation done last year to fix a supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) issue. Not as serious as your issue but modern medical procedures are amazing and I'm sure you'll be back at it soon.

I believe so, was at the power line junction this afternoon and went down Severed. There was a touch of snow on the side of the power line but very minimal so I think Dales would be good to go. 

Fromme is a different story though. Snow on 3rd & 5th switchbacks. Snow covered on top 25-30% ish of Expresso.

A lot of people use the Dempsey connector to traverse from lower westside Fromme trails back to Fromme parking lot, Mtn Hwy parking or if they live in Upper Lynn Valley. 

There are alternatives like taking Dempsey Rd from Braemar zone or climbing back up to Baden Powell and traversing across. Neither of these options are great imo.

That's a bummer but inevitable I guess. That was my go to exit from that side of Fromme. The Mill St exit is pretty rough and I have a feeling people living near that exit might not be too happy about the increased traffic.

Fair enough....would still be great to get some new trails built or old trails rebuilt on the Shore but there just seems to be too much red tape or lack of money.

Might be stating the obvious but seems to me that the increase in unsanctioned loamers is a direct result of the lack of new trails on Fromme and Seymour. As a comparison Squamish had 5 new sanctioned trails last year. Did the Shore have any?
