Video: Squamish Local Laps on Fresh Loam & Grippy Granite
As the rainy season starts in the Sea to Sky, I settle in for quick laps, constant wet gear, and daydreaming about the ski season. I've also been able to take a moment to reflect on how lucky we are to live and ride where we do. Almost every day of 2019 has been filled with adventure, face shots of loam, deep breaths of oxygen in the rainforest, laughter till tears, endlessly grippy granite, sculpted berms of golden hero dirt, sketchy chutes with ribbons of roots, shuttles, pedalling, sprinting, jumping, dropping and so much more. I have worked with Dialed in Cycling all summer to bring skills to other women in the sport, I have travelled around British Columbia racing enduro and I have had chill weekends home and away exploring new views and new trails.

All this would not be possible without the support of Dialed in Cycling, Norco Bicycles, One Up Components, Sombrio Cartel and Nobl Wheels. I am lucky to ride a beautiful bike with the best components in functional gear. I have never felt so much confidence, grip, precision and balance than with my current set-up. I am looking forward to even better things in 2020, if that's even possible!
Also a special thank you to the trail builders whose work is showcased in this video; Curtis Bennett, Corey Ellah and Jeremy Null.

Trail dog: appears
Me: “Oh shi...”
I liked hearing the tires on the granite rock.
They made it look easy.
'Sombrio jersey'.
Wow , a whole wide world (web) if shit your local shops don't sell is now available to you.
I also usually like to try on stuff from brands which I didn’t have before. No reason to get your undies all tangled up.
I'm not the one moaning about not being able to order some bike stuff when even CRC stocks some Sombrio and has decent shipping rates and excellent returns policy.
