Can you provide your height details etc. and maybe the reach of the bikes you have come from? Interested to hear your take and how much longer this is than your daily rig.

I am curious but not convinced on the massive reaches on some of these bikes.

Cool that Peak/TOTW will be open, I like doing one lap down there each summer on a nice day (although last year it ended up pissing rain and being like 5C in late August when I was up there). Will obviously respect ops/construction closures, but I hope RDS to Kadenwood can be ridden since that would avoid Creekside (unless they are using those fire roads to move equipment around obviously).

Line-ups are gonna be brutal on weekends, but respect that they are at least putting more gondis on and getting Garbo open earlier. As a Creekside guy during ski season I am stoked for the upload capacity next winter and more bike trails in Creekside in the future too hopefully, love Missfire > Delayed > BC's on an enduro bike.

This, same with the Khybers route.

People on the internet "I saw a guy on the wrong bike on Ned's, it was an e-commuter."

Guy with said bike "yeah so today I took the long way home, rode from downtown up to Ned's than over trough Lynn Valley linked up paths to Edgemont for groceries and finished up at home in Pemberton Heights, yeah fun little rip."

What a looser, he was probably wearing performance jeans too instead of proper bike gear.

Hahaha. not jeans but he had his commuter issue wet weather pants on. Like I said he was coping pretty well with the chunk so good on him...

Hiked up Ned's with the dog a few nights ago and had a good chuckle at some dude battling down on a commuter e-bike. Was a MTB but the type with an adjustable stem and panniers etc. 

He was actually coping relatively well in the section I saw him but was pretty amusing for sure... Highlights the eased effort required to get further into the forest though, which I can appreciate would be a real risk in whistler on Sproatt or similar zones....

In other news, Ned's didn't look as bad as I expected it to be. I feel like it was essentially in the same shape as when I last rode it 10+ years ago...!

Too bad. was thinking of finally getting a pass again this year. Might stick to the valley again to start and see how it shakes out.

Any news on the bike park yet. I read on the gram that there is no Creekside this year???? Is this true?

^^also; one German ex F1 driver pumping another German (ex-ish) F1 driver in a German publication....

But yeah, Stroll is not great. Better than Mazepin but he's gone now so Stroll is back to being the worst pay driver...

How long is the XL? I went from 470ish to an XL @ 505 reach and loved it. 

I'm back to a large now but still @490 ; with way more travel and longer stays, so similar wheel base.

The Convoy's have / had not really impacted my day to day so I watched with mild interest. Primarily with a chuckle at their seeming inability to not shoot themselves in the foot in front of cameras.

As a proud new Canadian what has really annoyed me of late is that they have hijacked the Canadian flag...

Where I should be thinking "look at this legend supporting our athletes, troops, country etc..." you now think faarrk me he/she is one of them.....

Saw a dude doing 70ish down Indian river drive on a Suron yesterday .... Was in a Carhadt jacket an jeans so can only hope he's not taking the thing on any trails...

vice + angle grinder. No issues.
