And there is was; another great mountain bike Road Trip on the books! I've posted a few pics' of the gig for your entertainment. Thanks to Barry, Pierre, Robert, Harry, John & Louise for making it all happen! I might try and squeeze one more in before the snow flys... I'm thinking Christina Lake, as its not too far, off-season accom' is dirt-cheap right now and we were provided some 'secret trail maps' the last time we stopped at Wild Ways on the way back from 7-Summits. Any takers? I'm looking for a total of four riders including myself, so three more need apply...




Our Chalets; we had two units side-by-side, with beauty' Mt. views

In summary. I've found a new personal favorite singletrack, at least in the High Country; Frisby Ridge! Keystone Standard Basin was a real thing of beauty as well, but is a lot more difficult to ride, as its actually an old hiking trail that has been shoe-horned into being a mountain bike trail. Frisbee on the other hand, was developed as a mountain bike trail and its flow shows it in spades. I was in awe of the trail-work during the ascent not to mention the vistas all around me, and was truly laughing out loud during much of the descent. TRAIL LOVE!!!
