I had a dream I stood beneath an orange sky with my bicycle standing by…

Hey Shaggy your trails are awesome!


Not sure exactly where this is going or exactly how I got here, but it sure it fun?!  

I'm a firm believer that ALL thing you will need in life will be waiting for you when you start doing the things you love.

Had great out and back long ride on Tribag Mine Road and beyond..it seems to go on for some 60 miles of remote wildness adventure. Da Bears seem to be busy not bothering me so that is good. My new goal to make it to Montreal River in 4hrs (ish) but need some more information, as my greatest fear really is logging trucks.  Kept a good comfy pace to escape black flies and more importantly so I'm not the first to die in the Hungry Games.  Should probably look into getting myself a "man down" device or maybe a training partner.


So, hold me to it.  I love this.


Riding some new fun single track up north over the past month.  Yes, I love the "Scooby Snacks" too.  Out of guilty pleasure I love this "social trail".

I get it, the spring time ebb and flow bring on those velo-gasims. These types of trails keep springing up like spring and getting ready for summer-- the "playful" time of year when it's warm and time for rolling on sweet single track. I certainly appreciate the sweat, effort, tears and good times that went into these trails. We all know they exist and WE all ride them.  This new(?) trail is a challenging bumpy grind hard kind of fun.


However, I think we should start coming together to share our social trails and efforts, so we can all enjoy each others hard work and have places to ride instead of waiting for Scooby Do to come thru with the goods.

YOU the mountain biker should uphold this fact of life, trails should be challenging with risk.  There should be trails that are fun, some fast and even dangerous with maybe the possibility of a little blood-- we don't need to make mountain biking road riding with nice scenery.  We can work towards some thing for everyone.

IMBA Trail Crew is coming to Sault Ste. Marie at the end of August 23-26. It is going to be a great few days of building challenging sustainable multi use trails.  Going to be building US some epic trails!

Going to be fun...there will be Scooby Snacks ;)
