Time to get in Shape!

This is me and yes I am wheezing in pain. I just finished hiking my bike up a cliff face and I admit I am out of shape!



Good thing we are building a Fitness track littered with jumps and flow to get me in shape!

I was on Pinkbike today and Katrina Strand our local ripper from Whistler listed a Training program.

Check it out!
SPRING FITNESS TRAINING PROGRAM PART 1!

Cold weather is good for the lungs!

"The very fact that this track exists is a very good sign for the future of bike parks on the south island. Municipalities are afraid of the unknown and this park will set a precedent for this kind of bike facility in our neck of the woods. It will make it easier for future bike-parks to be built, because land-managers will be able to see on paper that this sort of facility is viable. For this reason alone, the park deserves the support of all the riders, and parents of young riders, in the greater Victoria area."

Kind words from Riders Cycle their crew hit up the park on the weekend for some fun in the sun!

Check it out the full story here on their Blog and props to Mitch Thacker for the photo's : NORTH SAANICH PUMP TRACK

Park is OPEN get in there!

We shut down the park for weather reasons during that crazy holiday storm, but Cliff Halliday and his Union crew went in there and cleaned up all the fallen branches adn opened the gates yesterday.

Please go and enjoy the park the track will exhaust you, sadly I am a one lap guy at the moment!

We will have scored a great deal of help since opening the park and now we have a website coming with the generous and talented help of Colette and her firm BR Thompson Co.

So get in the park and ride it, get stoked and look over the snow fence at how much property we have been given to expand, if you look at the market value of property these days we are sitting a half million dollar parcel.

North Saanich is being very generous by not only letting us build there but helping us develop /maintain the park so everyone start thinking about what we can make this park into. We have designs for the open areas but I want feedback for the treed areas and future pump track expansions.

A year ago hand clearing the pump track section...

But thank god Gordy Martman has machines we can use for the open areas because wheel barrels suck!
