Oh yes there is! love the riding in Revy, So different from home, lots of roots and rocks.
Riding MacPherson area this morning.

Nice, I like MacPherson too. But Boulder is better IMO Im more of a downhill guy though. But with the E-bike the up hills are probably a lot funner than with pedal power!

Looks like someone else swooped in and snagged my great deal on a f.s. Giant bike,,, how ever,,, Marin has a fairly close offering that im pounder-ing...

Hoo Humm...

Too be honest,,, i can get away with my standard analog mtb for now since I have my dual-sport bike too pack me around like last year...

I only went e-bike last year for my fat tire winter riding stuff since the big treads are hard too rotate... my plan was/ is too analog as long as I can before switching over too the dark side...

That and I have 4 analog bikes on my rack at this point in time...

I'll ponder the game plan this summer which gives me time too sort out my massive collection of alot things...

At least im lucky that I don't own 7 snowmobiles and 4 jets boats and 17 work trucks...

Im attempting too thin out things but it's a painfully slow process...

Less is More on my Taa-doo list... lol

You folks will have too stop Enticing me...Ha

Wooops,,, I forgot too add...

A few year's ago I was dual-sport riding the Okanagan Falls area and ran into a motorized ( trials course's ) of endless trails all along the face of the mountain (s)

There are 1000's of them threw out B.C...

North too South and East too West...

Alot of them are abandoned and only a few folks use them threw out the year,,, downed trees and rock slides snuff-out good portions of those sections...

Fear not the one rider said,,, whats pretty much toast for the ( trials riders ) is now the terrain for the mtb trials bike folks...

Hence the standard analog or lite weight e-MTB...

It's a breeze pitching our Units up over the downed tress and supper easy walking across hords of small streams and creeks...

We can vear off track with the bike over our Shoulder and scramble the technical rock faces too get too the old abandoned trails further in...

Old old abandoned log mill sigths,,, historical mines and hidden lakes back there...

We're talking the Enchanted Forests of End-less...

Correct,,, a person will break a sweet,,, lots of water and time threw out the day...

Good workout for those that are interested in turning it on,,, relax-ing it out as one sets their own pace...

Always ride your ride...

I'm wing-ing it this round,,, threw the 26 lb'er around with out a wreck,,, kind of a fact finding mission with fishing tack...

One never knows what's going down till We get there...

A all new world with built-in Perimeters of that looks ok and that's too much...

One thing about B C.,,, millions of the trails are open too more then Alberta's fruity foot traffic only crap...

Get out there and ride is their moto....
