Mega XC Ultimate!

Connor Macleod, fresh off the plane from San Fran and already making business calls. Looks like his CapU business degree is making dividends. Fully kitted out, in fresh Steed steez its good to have Connor back out on some trail rides.
Tristan Olk enjoying a refreshing cuppa joe from the one and only Bean Around The World coffee shop. A little caffeine never hurt to prepare for another round of xc action. The wonderful people at Bean take their coffee as seriously as we take our riding. Thanks for always being there to fill the empty tank.
An xc ride on the North Shore is never complete without a couple ladder-bridge rides. Don't let the excessive Lycra fool you, Connor is showing us how its done on the Giant Reign 0. The conditions couldn't have been much better on the North Shore that day.
How sweet it is. Its not just the riding, or the bikes, or the fresh green spandex kit, its the good times had with friends. Recapping the the days events, Tristan, Brett, Connor and I soaked up the warm sunlight at the end of an epic day of "xc" on the shore. This ride was so complete I couldn't have asked for a better day on the bike. Going out for a couple shuttle laps later made me appreciate what these all-mountain bikes can do. From gear grinding climbs to steep and deep, technical descents these bikes never says never. And most importantly you are riding the bike the whole time. The Reign continues to impress!
At the end of the show we replenished our energy stocks with an ice cold refreshing beer. Gotta get those carbs back! Can you think of a better way of spending an afternoon?...exactly.
Brought to you by Steed Cycles, Giant Bicycles, spandex clothing, the north shore trails, Bean Around The World cofee, beer, and good friends.
