Hmm...I did Canadian Tire in Squamish to the front desk of Club Intrawest in 22 minutes. Not once did I touch any sort of excessive speed.

But you lot gave us Top Gear so all is forgiven

uk is full of f*cking weirdos that is for sure,but the Can' tax thing is weird,why not just include it in the price? Bugging,but not as bugging as uk football and football fans.

Our greatest export lol

Only reason we still have a queen is because people from abroad take interest pay to come see her shit lol

She has no power and no actual following







































Not including tax in prices is the #1 dumbest thing in the world, btw

Tax is not included because there is a different rate of tax for different items. Eg) A new bike has a lower tax % paid compared to the tax % paid on a new car. This is an incentive to buy a bike a ride to work rather than drive.
NOW GET OVER IT!

But they could still just calculate it with the appropriate tax percentage beforehand rather then at checkout.

You can cover alot of ground in 3 hours from Whistler. What kind of bike are you bringing? Do you have a vehicle that can shuttle fire roads?

I will be bringing my 2014 Transition Covert 26". I will be renting a 4 door economy car to keep the price down (SUV rentals are pretty pricey). I will have another person with me so shuttling is an option as long as the rental car can make the road.

I'd recommend driving down to Squamish, Covert is the perfect bike for some laps there. Its less than an hour drive south. Tons of trails there and you can shuttle or pedal up.

Sounds great I have heard good things about squamish. Are there certain trails that I should check out there? Or directions of any kind? Thanks for all the feedback.
