Life is now.

We're very lucky here at Big Mountain Adventures. Every few years a special group of friends hires us to create an epic mountain bike trip for them somewhere on the planet. We typically work diligently with them for a year leading up to the holiday, planning every detail carefully. We know that this particular group really appreciates an amazing trip and that they soak up every moment as it was their last, literally. I've never laughed and ridden so much in a ten-day period. I was reminded today of this group and it made me smile. Life is right now. Enjoy.

Good thoughts.

"I thought of that while riding my bike"
Albert Einstein.

Are you like me, do you find that you have some of your best thoughts while on your bike? Those, clear "a ha" thoughts that you almost wish that you could stop and carve into a tree so that you don't forget it? We're canvasing our Facebook Fans to find out what some of their best thoughts are while riding; why don't you become a Fan and share your best thought? Or at least head over to our FB page and take a read, it should be entertaining. Click here.

Happy thoughts!

Stoked!

Good times.

Do you remember that feeling as a super-keener little grom hanging out with friends on your street for hours and hours on your bikes? This photo brings me back to my street in rural Ontario where i'd spend days, summers, on my BMX working on wheelies and nose stands and a 3-foot pile of dirt was all we needed for a week-end of action. What worries? I've decided to take this to heart this year and i'm dedicating this riding season to...having fun like the old days. I know, i know, sounds simple...but put yourself back into that little mind that you had. OK, good. Bike. Friends. Fun. Nothing more. Want to join me in this challenge?
