Thanks to Morgan from Olympia Cycle and Ski Shop, I was able to spent most of a day test riding his sweet Surly Pugsley "snow bike" along the river edge tracks, park trails and side forest pathways ... fat-tire territory in the winter for sure! It fit me perfectly and rode like a dream ... made...
An Icy Trail Ride for the Karate Monkeys
Got together with TrgCoopScott for some trail biking on the Assiniboine Park "Monkey Trails" ... each on our own Surly Karate Monkey 29-er MTBs. It was a cold day (-20C with a windchill of -30) and just after a few warm days where the snow melted enough to ice the pathways and trails over. So...

Scott's New Niner - Winter Bike Ride - 13 Jan 2011
A short but fun winter bike ride over to Assiniboine Park to meet up with Scott, who was taking his new Niner MTB out for a first test ride.

This video uses all my own Go Pro HD helmet cam video and music I downloaded for free and authorized for public use (thanks Alex Beroza/KCentric at CCMixter for "Be Free"). Of note, although the HD GoPro films better in the dark than it's predecessor, it's "sun-blocker" lens does make the view...

One of the best evening trail rides of this winter with the FGBC gang on a weekly Tuesday Nite Ride ... this time on the Assiniboine Forest Trails and Pathways. With no snow for a while, the trails had been packed down by lots of hikers, making them firm, fast and fun! Good times on the trails,...

Testing out my Go Pro Hero helmet cam at it's highest HD setting of 1080p, which is widescreen and superclear, but more narrow in depth view.

Last Winter Ride - Alone on My Fat Bike
We had an unseasonably warm winter with less snow than normal and now an early spring thaw. Great for most, but not for winter sports fans, including Fat Bike riders. Last week was a last chance for a 'real' winter bike ride and it happened at night in the Assiniboine Forest and Park. I was...
