    Looking for a Day Trip? Hidden Alligator Lake

    trials riding in cumberland/courtney

    hey all, I am going to be up in cumberland at the end of the month to do some MTB. I understand that the trials guys and the MTB guys build and ride the same trails. So I figured I would take my trials bike too, and ride it during the weekday so as not to bump into as weekend MTB riders. I...

    Who uses SPOT in the woods? How has it been?

    Who uses SPOT in the woods? Has it been working OK? I just want SPOT for the tracking function for the wifey. I already have a PLB and sat phone in case of troubles. I just am wondering from actual users if SPOT is any good for logging roads and single track in BC. thanks
