There are no words to sum up how much I love my .243 frame. After receiving it sometime around February I soon figured out that we were in for one hell of a roller coaster winter, but that didn't stop me from riding. I had to get my fix, it was like a drug, the bike just made me want to go bigger, longer, faster. It wanted to do it all. So if it wanted it, there was only one thing to do......

Well it’s been one hell of a start to the summer. In the last few months we’ve ridden way too much. Kamloops was wild, and none of us can remember much about Nelson but we know it was rad and this trip was no different. We decided against taking any extra days off work for Kelowna and headed out on a Renegade run (leave Friday after work, come back late Sunday night so you can be back at work on Monday) instead. We were a small group as Danger’s bank account is still recovering from a winter in a land far far away and Gord had to take a break because he was roadtrip whorring so much he needed time away from the bike. So the Cabbage, Robb and I headed out Friday night. We didn’t get out of Calgary until late so it was a long drive through the night.

Warwick Patterson and Ted Tempany have been busy working on their new movie project called RISE. What is RISE all about? Come find out on Wednesday August 13th at 7pm. University of Calgary, Murray Fraser Hall rm 162. Prizes from Calgary Cycle, IDUN and the kids at MTB films. Tickets are 10 bucks at the door.
Until then, check out the teaser at www.mtbfilms.com.

See ya there!
