With the biking season in full tilt, we at Pinkbike.com decided it was time to start putting in some serious trail time on our current bike fleet. After a little bit of planning and a whole lot of time spent packing up Cozy Rosie we hit the open road with our destination set to Whistler.
Check inside for photos from the trip up...After some chat around the office we decided to pack up and ship out for a week of abusing ourselves in one of the most renowned places to ride in the World - Whistler, British Columbia. Mike, Tyler and myself packed Cozy Rosie to the roof and hit the road with 6 bikes - 3 all mountain bikes and 3 downhill bikes. The fleet is as follows:
AM Bikes:
2011 Rocky Mountain Slayer 70
2010 Marin Attack 6.9
2010 Trek Scratch 9
DH Bikes :
2010 Lapierre DH720
2010 Morewood Kalula
2010 Specialized Demo 8 II
