Cycle the Sunshine Coast, BC

So we have been bomb-barded by wind storms and snow that wreaked havoc on our trails.  There are several individuals that have spent their hard earned weekends packing a chainsaw or pruning shears to cut away the trees, prune the salal and hoist branches off the trail.  I'm in awe with the dedication that they put into keeping our trails cleaned of debris.  I completed my minor part to walk (and ride) Bypass, NMA and Cheap & Easy picking up the branches and large sticks off the trail. Except for 3 logs that needed a chain saw, the trail is in great shape. Call it a cheap investment to have the trails primed ready to go when the spring/summer hits and all we want to do is ride hard.  Winter Riding on NMA ----WAB1234----

The new Pro29 from Lynskey has just come out via Cove bikes in North Vancouver, BC.  The Cove-Lynskey relationship has been a successful one with Cove's Hummer line of bikes over the last 5 years.  Cove has again turned to Lynskey to help with a possible new Hummer design in a full suspension 650B or 29'er variety.   Taking back users comments, Cove will tweak this model here and there and launch a Cove version of Pro29 - Hummer.  When I was offered the opportunity to test this bike on the Sunshine Coast, I jump at the chance to put it through the paces.  From when I first started riding and racing mountain bikes in mid 1990's, I've always wanted a titanium bike.  I've considered buying the Cove Hummer on many occasions.  I've been also lucky to try out other Cove bikes such as the Hummer Softail, Hustler, and now I own their new G-Spot All Mountain Rig.
