I stopped off for a quick beer in the Brewers Union (Delicious British style cask bitter!!!) last week on the way home from Downieville.

The brewery isn't exactly new though...it was there when I did another roadtrip about 8 years ago. 

I'd echo what Todd said about the MRT...it's a destination trail, something different than the hard core biking we have here in BC, but enjoyable all the same. 

And for those not swanky enough to stay in the Best Western with a hot tub, nature has provided her own hot tub in the form of Macredie Hot Springs a couple of miles up the road.

Love it!

_There is no expiry date on a helmet. You can wear it until you damage it or some part of it gives up based on wear and tear. That could be 10 days after you bought it or 5yrs.

What you should do is inspect it once in a while to see what shape it’s in._

I think jdot is referring to UV damage to the shell. Probably not really a significant problem is you only ride on cloudy, tree covered North Shore trails…

It's gonna need a lot of work. Pushed/rode Expresso last weekend and there's an awful lot of trees down across the trail…

Looking at the angle of the trees in the background of the gif, I think the photos have been tilted - but they've been tilted backwards so the angle of the fall _is even steeper!

If putting your bike on a bus rack, make sure you sit up front so you can keep watch on the bike. It would suck to get to the end of the journey and find some fucker has stolen your bike when picking up/dropping offer passengers. 

(Bus drivers will have no idea who the bike belongs to...)

Might also be worth checking with your Extended Health provider thru work.

I was covered by Pacific Blue Cross for some dental work following an OTB incident in Washington and also a hornet sting which required prescription antibiotics...

Not quite the same topic but....

One of my fears is hooning* down something like John Deere or Boogie Nights only to be met by some clown riding UP. Granted, this isn't likely at the moment but as eBikes become more capable...

(I had this type of incident last week on the fast section of Bottletop)

So, personally, I'm all in favor one way trails.

* Otherwise known as riding the trail as it's designed to be ridden

Lol, I nearly ran into two mountain bikers pushing up the steep, techy section last week.

Gawd knows why they thought it would be a good climbing trail (and they weren't on eBikes either...)

I rode Bottletop today. Not sure whether it's "officially" open but there's nothing blocking the trail...

Can we all ask for a bridge over Mashiter creek to join the Mashiter area trails to those around Lower Powersmart/WOM...

please & thank you! :-)

New Kona store opening on Pemberton Ave

Looks like I got that wrong...judging by the sign on the window, it seems like this is the new location for the Canadian distributor rather than a store...

Judging by the huge Kona signs outside, I'm guessing not. It looks like the finishing touches are being done...don't think it's actually open yet

I did a 900 m Fromme ride yesterday night and felt terrible. I had to stop for breaks on the way up. Tonight, I shuttled and that felt better.

Wow, Fromme shuttles! Nice.. 😂
