Well at least here, the snow is starting to melt already... And I've been thinking about biking a bit. I figured I'd post a link to the NS Mountain Bike Cult so hopefully it becomes more active. Right now it's really dead and I would like to talk biking on NS.


Linked up, cheers everyone!

Have a great spring shred!

Aggressive XC/trailriding basically for me. I'm cool with small stunts, but am scared shitless of anything moderate to large.

I ride an '05 Cannondale Jekyll. Replacing/upgrading the fork in the next few weeks.

I'm torn right now, because I want powder days still, but I want to ride dry singletrack as well.

anyone who is into XC:

lets hear your average (of course it depends on steepness/terrain) climbing capability per hour.

for me its somewhere between 3200 and 3400 ft per hour but i havent been training in a club or so, just for my own ego

Ride purely for the enjoyment. Have a speedo just so I can compare each ride to each ride, but have zero clue as to what type of numbers I turn.

yeah, me too, but my enjoyment rises when i get over the 1 km per hour bump.

although i have to admit that i rode way too fast all the time. prolly 2-3 hours almost maxed (except 1-2 downhills inbetween) which cannot be healthy.

might have to tune it down a little so i dont end up suffering a heart attack with 30

Well I just bought an can only afford a hard tail. SO I got a bike that can ride everything decent. Typically ride XC, but take it on jumps and urban as well.
