Seven Summits Poker Ride
The gang – atop Old Glory.
Roughly 120 riders enjoyed a magnificent clear and cool day of riding on the Seven Summits trail yesterday. I rode with a group of friends, stopping for beers and snacks along the way, making the detour to the summit of Old Glory for a wild card, testing our skills and [...]

Old Rossland Cemetery access trail

Trails Clean-up Report – July 14th.
Looking towards Kokanee from Cherry Top.
Dave and I went to ride the Shannon Pass loop above Nelson on Sunday, but managed to hitch a ride all the way to the top of Baldface, and dropped the full 6000′ to Kootenay Lake. The Meadow trail is bit of an eroded disaster, but fun in a challenging [...]
