yeah 3 years worth i use caffelatex and no holes in my rims
Absolutely not!
I hear ya.
Sweet
Nice and flowy looking that was, love the graffiti tunnel near the begining 
Should pop the vid over into the ride footage thread.
The grade ranged between 10% to over 20% for the 6+ km 950m pedal up the FSR. Cypress is known to be the zestiest of the North Shore mountains with many unsanctioned trails. We have ridden this trail numerous times before but it is getting rougher and sketchier each year as more riders find it. The round trip took us over 4 hours with countless rock rolls and rooty chutes. Another great day on the North Shore!
YES!
I miss the bc interior temps. It gets hot but the alpine gives a good escape and its so humid here in the maratimes. Ive never sweated so much as the last couple weeks
I grew up in the maritimes. NS,NB. But BC is my paradise. Just got back from vacation in Penticton/Okanagan Falls with the Hardtails (wine tour stuff). The temperature was ok (35 +/-), but the year before was hot (42+) with fires to ride around. It was sooo dry there.
Nice! Thats comfy temps in the OK. Such a great mix of climates in the interior. Dry desert in tge okanagan. 2 hrs to revy and its sub triopical and 5-10⁰ cooler. If its still too hot its 10⁰ cooler again at the top of tge gondi. If its pouring rain in revy theres a good chance its jyst cloudy in vernon, or nakusp
I think it can get really cold during the winter (interior BC). But it’s really nice to visit in the summer. I don’t mind the rain and wet here on the Wet Coast.…we still ride…but our wardrobe is a little bigger
.
Summerland bottleneck drive is our annual wine tour with bikes with plenty of climbing involved from the north okanagon campground - Thornhaven is our absolute favorite sitting high above Summerland and the lake - especially bringing a fresh crusty loaf from the Summerland bakery with a nicely chilled white - and all downhill from there - Luminessence winery plays classical musical to their grapes at night (ok that was a bit of a stretch for me too) - the best case lot sales can be found in the spring before tourist season . . .early to bed tonight for an early morning start tomorrow to beat the heat before hitting Fairmont Ridge at Fairmont Hot Springs that eventually joins up at Spirit trail - lots of great biking in the Columbia Valley
There were so many RV’s and campers this year. Everything seemed booked. Great spot to vacation with lots of options. Next year we’ll hit some of the trails around Summerland. My son has a BnB in Summerland but we stay in OK Falls.
If you had wine tastings by appointment in Australia you'd go out of business real quick!
Not only appointments, but now you have to pay to taste-test their wines.
. I guess the pandemic or popularity has caused some changes in the past few years.
. I never aquired a taste for distilled alcoholic beverages…I know, that’s weird eh? A tall glass of ice water is just fine. it’s voodoo magic or witchcraft or something …?
And they used to say I was pic heavy ..
Thanks to @Tonybro for his chart.
