Cheers,

Human powered is the best style from your doorstep as long as your healthy. Much more rewarding. Pushing your own personal limits. A bike gives you freedom. No officer of cool present checking if your riding the latest bike.Get up ride up.

Just found one last month in Kelowna. So fun, a part of mountain bike history in North Vancouver. That  should be saved for the next generation to enjoy. Big props to the builder.

Save those teeter totters, such a fun feature from that era of mountain biking.

The goal was to ride 12 consecutive North Shore Triple Crowns in a row. Mountain biking every month of the calendar year,

on my favourite local epic. The streak just kept going and tapped out at 24. Snowed for the last one. The journey is the reward.

Thanks @mudrunner @miketraslin

@bmak, Here's the link from the South
couloir of Mt. Bishop. It turned out to
be an 8000' day. It's not smooth skinning
by any means. Complex North Shore
terrain.

Thanks for the stoke @Ddean @Taprider @Ned @The Don @biking_cam @Ol Dirty
@The Wasp @Duncan @Tungsten @Bryce

@Bryce Someone can add TNT next year for the link-up. I did actually do a Fromme link-up a few years ago. 13000’climbing. I will look for the link.

@Ddean, this past summer I pulled off the first unsupported 6 crown.

Yes, @JBV All on a 26” bike, 26 years Seymour riding. I tell you this ride would
have been a lot smoother and funner on an updated bike.

@Sharon Don’t give me ideas. I’ve done a 7000’ powder day on Seymour. A 10000’ first descent on Mt. Bishop in the Seymour backcountry.

@Bryce that sounds fun too, way less suffering.

After 26 years of mountain biking Seymour,I was motivated to try to link up as many trails as possible in a day. Hitting 10000 feet of climbing was a goal,
I was stoked to achieve door to door style.

Thanks to all the trail builders. Present, past and beyond.

Taprider, That's a great idea to link-up as many trails as possible.

This summer I did the Seymour Mtb 10,000'. Climbing up to CBC, then riding as many as trails as I could. All the classics: Severd,CBuster, Forever After, Asan Adonis, John Deer, Dales,Pangour, Boogieman.

There's so many options for a big day link-up.

That's a big day on the Sea to Sky.
Cool vid. I'm focusing on my backyard
Trails. Seeing what is possible riding the bike human powered with a backpack.

6 Crown Link-Up

June 17/16

Stoked, to finish my epic link-up riding 6 different mountains in the Tri-City and North Shore zones.What's so cool about living in these areas is that you can live in the urban, but still escape to the trails on a bike. After years of riding all these trails.It was fun and hard to complete the full link-up in a day.

There is road riding involved in connecting the mountain bike trails.That's how I got involved in riding, was the ability to pedal from the door and ride Seymour.

Half way through, I bent a shifting cable. I was stuck with a fixed gear on the back but three gears on the front.It was the hottest part of the day climbing up Seymour. More out of the saddle riding than I hoped for.Conditions were prime. With a fresh rain to keep the dirt tacky but not too wet, sunny but cool in the trees.

In the name of tradition.9 speed shifting was used, with a rear road deraileur.26 inch wheels,QR for the seatpost. Plus, I can't afford the latest gear.Listening to my MP3 Walkman.I pulled out The Clash/Hits Back. I forget how good they still are.

Giver don't skidder!
