We are a group of riders from the Vancouver, BC, Canada area. We are certainly not a closed club, by any stretch of the imagination, and appreciate new blood from the area. Join our forums, come out to a weekend ride with us, teach us something or learn something from us, to quote one of our riders, It's all good.

If you are not reasonably local to our area, I'd suggest heading over to the more cosmopolitan forums at MTBR, Pinkbike, or NSMB. Not that I am trying to turn people away, I just think you'll have better luck finding people / trails / parts suitable for your area.

The ridepix were starting to take over the news page... so they have been exiled to their own location for the rest of time. Visit them - I hear they are feeling lonely.

For all those people that never seem to have a good reason why they can't come ride, use this little program.

Id: Unconscious part of the mind which consists of natural instincts [STAYING DRY], urges, and drives that are repressed. It includes "internal events" which stem from the influence of heredity [WHICH IS ODD BECAUSE I'VE LIVED IN THE BC LOWERMAINLAND MY WHOLE LIFE]. Although the id is the cause of all activity [OR INACTIVITY], the thoughts are often unconscious and repressed. According to Freud, all instincts can be traced back to the existence of the Eros [DRY PAVEMENT/URBAN] and the Destructive instincts (or death instinct)[RIDING THE NORTH SHORE]. Within Eros is the contrast between the instincts of self-preservation [STAYING DRY] and preservation of the species [SHOWING UP ENOUGH SO IM NOT KICKED OUT FOR BEING A FAIRWEATHER LOLLYGAGGER]. Its goal is to bind the gap between "ego-love" [DRY PAVEMENT/URBAN - SEEING SCANTILY CLAD LADIES ON THE SEAWALL] and "object-love" [BRODIE 8-BALL]. The second instinct, the destructive instinct [RIDING THE NORTH SHORE], tries to destroy the connections made by Eros [FUNNY, I'D RATHER GO RIDE THE SHORE THAN GO ON A DATE WITH A SUPERMODEL].

We are a very mixed group of riders. We have dedicated gravity monsters, freeriders, trials riders, and XC folks in the group. As such, our regular weekly rides tend to be a serious mishmash of riding styles, with enough variety to please anyone - or nobody, depending on your point of view! During the winter, we ride pretty much exclusively the Delta watershed area, with the occasional trip to downtown Vancouver for some urban or some quick blasts through Stanley Park.
