My friend is fairly new to mountain biking and she rides fromme, mostly floppy and bobsled and she's wondering what other trails she should try? I recommended the new espresso but is there anything else

Take a friend NEVER ride alone. Leopard, crinkum crinkum is a medium step up. Then do seventh and tie all those together.




A visiting rider from Colorado died on pipeline 2 years ago while riding by himself. (Crashed off one of the wood structures broke his neck) He was found by a group of joggers (also not locals) which made for a very confusing 911 call. The guys wife and new baby were driving the roads around to all the possible outlet points while fire department, ambulance and SAR were going past her to find him... Can you imagine how that would feel? Ride with a friend!

I definitely agree an live by the always ride with a buddy rule! She has a riding group with other girls she always rides with so she was just wondering what some other trails they could try were.

I pretty much always ride alone. None of my friends are willing to pedal/hike (they all ride full blown downhill rigs) and only do the bike park. I always tell my fiance exactly where I'll be and I don't do anything beyond my skill level so only blue runs. I don't ride skinnies or other obstacles. When I have people to ride with I get a little more adventurous I have wiped out many times by myself but minor falls..
Give me a shout when you want to ride. I ride everything. I'll PM you my name and number.

Hey guys, I usually ride alone as well. I ride pretty much fromme but I have to push my bike as I have just a full downhill right now. But don't mind to push up. Send me a message if some of you are interested. I love espresso and willing to ride whatever is in my skills and push a bit hehe.

Maybe we could set up a group ride some time. You guys are probably a lot better than me though. I have 2 bikes, downhill and AM, I would probably take my AM rig to fromme. I don't think I will be riding the shore anytime soon but I am planning on going to whistler. Possibly this sunday. Not sure if you guys would be up for that.

Yes definitely. I just bought a scott gambler and have only ridden it once. I really want to take it out at least one more time before the season ends. I'm new to downhill so I might slow you down lol. I'd say I'm an intermediate rider. I can't do saturday but sunday works for me.

Hi Guys,

I am in Vancouver for business Thursday, Friday and want to get in a Saturday ride if possible.

Any recommendations on where to rent a bike, and what to ride? Something techy and AM would be nice. I am happy to climb. I will have a rental car...

Thanks,
Erik
