DH'ers Ride thread

[BlkMaxima]

Going for a ride? Post up here.

I'll be going to C.O.P. a lot this summer. Planning to go out to Kicking horse and maybe Fernie later in the season.

I will be heading over to C.O.P. tomorrow. I have room on my rack for one another bike if someone is up to it. I'll probably be leaving the S.E. around 10am if the weather looks decent.

Shoot me a PM if your interested in coming out tomorrow.

Here's a pic of my set up for shits and giggles.

I guess COP only has one trail open today because of the water on the trails. So I won't be going.

They said maybe tomorrow they will all be open.

BlkMaxima, do you also have a black TJ? I saw the exact bike in your pic on a rack that looked like yours in top pic today in bowness on my ride today...

Yeah, I went to moose mountain in early may. The road wasn't open yet. There was still some snow at the base too.

Never heard of Swansea, where is that? I assume that it is a shuttle only?

I will call COP tomorrow morning to find out if they opened up the main trails and post an update here. If there open I'll be going around 10 ish.

When I called this morning. They told me the lift was open, but only the run down the middle (Strawberry shortcake?) was open. Not worth going until they open west trees.

DAMNIT... Now I want a bike again... Now I'm looking at a Giant Reign X2 again

Lol, well I'm a newb to the sport. I have a kick ass bike, some pretty solid gear, but no idea how to use it. So surprisingly, strawberry short cake, sounds pretty good to me

I'd be up for going out. lets keep this thread going for biking meets. I would love to get out a lot more this year. and contemplating getting a cop pass.

I have a giant reign x1. and love it. glad i didn't get the xO. wanted something a little more bullet proof and also saved money for all the other gear.

I bought a COP pass this year. $200 or $25/ea time? I'm sure I will go more than 8 times this season especially now that I have been layed off and will be taking the summer off this year. Needed something fun to pass the time.

I've been itching to get out and ride at COP or a mountain for a few months now. And it keeps getting delayed by the weather.

COP opened up east trees this morning. And they said probably west trees this afternoon.

I'll be leaving the south around 10 if anyone wants to go.

[BlkMaxima]

Everything was opened up at noon. Had a great time and will probably be going back on Friday. Apparently they are going to open a slopestyle course on the east side of the ski jumps.
Don't know when though.

The CPS Mountain bike team was there all day today. Didn't see them on any trails though. Excuse the crappy Iphone pic.



swak,

I saw the black TJ there today. You were right same bikes. Only difference I noticed were the forks.

East side of the ski jumps? That would be in the eastlands wouldn't it?

Not sure where that is?

I think it is going to be #8 on this Map, I don't remember riding that one last season.

[swak]

trails look rad this year... makes me wish i had a MTB...
Might rent one and rip around COP at least once this year.

I cut through cop almost daily on my road bike, and even from today, looks like a busy crowd taking er all in.

EDIT: .. and thanks blkmaxima, now i know im not seeing things
Nice bike(s) though!!

[BlkMaxima]

There was tons of cars in the parking lot. But I had the trails and lift to myself all day. I maybe caught up to 2 or 3 people on the trails.

I think a lot of the cars were for the construction and other stuff like zip lining.

[ekguy]

I'd go but I'm not that good and only have a hardtail...I'd love to have a full suspension bike but too many other priorities this summer...
