I’d continue to do what you have been doing. TRAIL RECON

Don’t go out too early. You’ll have nothing to gain but a few crappy rides on trails you’ll never want to go back to. The downside is that it sets you back to the beginning. 

I’d get an X-ray to make sure you’re healed up enough. You do not want to miss 10 weeks of May and June for the sake of not waiting another 2. 

Circuit 8, like what was said. It’s not worth it tho. High school loop is also probably a good choice.

I don't think that the dates will change, see above website. Exact details to come but date is set.

So as I was typing the above, Transport Canada announced May 1 as the start date and released the list of included vehicles. Yippee, another fine German car coming to the garage. 

Needs to be approved by Parliament but this looks like a go starting May 1

The eGolf has arrived at the dealer and is ready for pick up, but, as expected, no details on the federal rebate yet. 

They're ok with letting it sit for awhile while we all wait. Demand for EVs has gone to zero I bet until the details are released, and then once timing fits, I bet that there is a big rush on the cars.

If this drags and demand is really zero, I might be able to negotiate a better deal to take it now and risk that it doesn't qualify for the rebate. Time will tell!

Great footage of great riding!!!

That Instinct is getting a work out - and it seems to be up to the task.

You’re only one crash away!!!!

Yeah, Ive had some crashes since I moved here 4 years ago! Combination of the sketchy riding out here being new to me (Im an XC guy from ON) and me getting older and ending up broken from crashes that would easily dusty myself off of years ago. Such is life.

I dislocated a finger on the airplane this week opening a bottle of water! It was dislocated and locked in a flexed position. I popped it back in without any drama, but …..Im starting to rethink some things.

I remember seeing a video of the cops chasing a cougar in North Van residential area. That thing jumped from one backyard to another without even touching the fences in between them. So fast. 25ft leaps were nothing to it. It was right out of the movies, but it was real!!!!

Sorry, my mistake. But my concern is that if the MTB community lobbys against ebikes and convinces the powers that be that they’re dirt bikes and those who make decisions believe that, what will we tell the powers that be is the best way to police them?

Without that answer, it’s a risky discussion to have.
