Whatever your pre-season routine, now is the time to start the wheels turning. With less than 2 months until opening day of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, the clock is ticking.

 If it was cheap, within driving distance and the only thing you had other than regular trails behind your house you would go and you would go again. Lets see its Thursday I guess I could go to work or I could say fuc! that and go to the bike park. I think you get what I mean. Trust me its no Whistler but its what we have and we are gonna use it.

 It's still early in the phase..it'll get better. Guy8, go and try it..some sections will make you pee in your saddle. It's fun it's close to us and dirt cheap deal.
