3-6-5 A Years End

So its been a solid year of riding with tons of locations and memorable trails... so I'm gonna take some time to go over the last year with the Calgary Cycle Online Team.

MAY 1st

The Loops! Myself, Brandon, Kurt and Shayne made our way out to the interior where we later on met up with Mike Brothers and Stephane Pelletier and well it was a typical Kamloops trip..Amazing surrounded by loose dirt fast trails and cheese wedges we all felt at home!





May 11th

So with Loops in the rear view mirror we next had our eyes set on one thing... The Swansea Season opener! every year the Calgary community comes together for the most part and we have our true start to our season by hitting up Invermeres Mt Swansea.

With riding this early in the season you can suspect their will be some surprises... we had no shortage of them.. when you wake up to this.
after some necessary trail work we hit the trails



Moving on...

May 30th
Back to the Loops baby!

without a doubt another killer trip! also saw a couple Lynx.. stoke factor 10!

A few days after we got back Colin and I hit up a clear cut.. Good times and beer were had.


During some downtime Stephen Matthews was in town and we headed down to Bowmont park to snap a quick few

So after all the traveling we needed some time at home... and no place like home like TLC

July 29th
So its July at this point we all have some solid riding beneath us and I decided we need to show the talent that Calgary has to offer.

All good times.. Killer photos and sick riding went down! only setting things up for bigger and better things next year! Heres a quick peek of what went down!
