2 months in Whistler. Hopefully going back for a bit again next year. If I have to pick a bit of gear then probably 661 Kyle Straits, they've saved my knees from getting messed up quite a few times.

Probably SPDs.

It's quite a long list
Er just re-read what you wrote, sounds like Darwin might come into play, SPD's in winter boots for night riding?
And I missed that Franki, not to worry he's on it now..Posted 7 months ago #
