In the off-season on Vancouver Island, XC racer Max McCulloch predominantly rides his trail bike when training with Cycling Canada's NextGen Program. His "Average Ride" on the weekend consists of saying goodbye to his cat, a 20km ride to the trails, a 1–2-hour trail ride, then a 20km ride back home. This type of riding ensures that he is fit for the season as well as technically sound. Oh, also did we mention it's really fun!


Watch the video to see what the "Average Ride" looks like.

 Too bad Bear Mtn has shut down their cycling operations already....Frown Hopefully trails are still open to ride and maintained..

 Yup it's a bummer for sure but I'm pretty sure trails will be kept in decent condition thanks to the Nature Trail Society!

 when you say shut down cycling operations, are we talking closing the hub and the dirtjumps? I can't see them kicking out the national mtb team, I though their agreement went to 2020?
