9 Ways to Maintain Mountain Bike Trails

Leg Armor? Who Needs It?

Mountain Bike Fail.

BC Bike Armor?

Armor vs Armour? Why do we keep flipping back and forth?

Our friends south of the border like to drop the "u" - so when they're looking for BC Bike Armour, they search for BC Armor instead.

I know, I know, being Canadian, BC and Armor should be two words that never come together. But it's just one of those things.

In Hong Kong the Center Building is located in the Centre of the city.

Those Americans just like to go all crazy with their spelling.

Either way, in case you were wondering about the whole BC bike armor/armour thing, that's why we jump around a bit - we want our American brethren to find us just as much as the rest of the world.

Either way, pedantic spelling lessons aside, enjoy the final days of summer and hit the trails.

Prince George Mortgage Brokers For Entrepreneurs

Hats off to Iron MountainWear for introducing a product as useful and exciting as Landing Gear.

Getting a new product off the ground takes a lot of work, money and commitment. It’s like a rocket. A launch takes 95% of your fuel to get you into space, and only another 5% to keep you in orbit once you’re out there. It’s the first push that is the most taxing both physically and financially.

Our friends at Iron MountainWear know about the trials and tribulations of bringing a new brand into the marketplace. It’s not easy. IMW have managed to get the funding they needed to build a great product on their own. But not everyone with a great idea is always welcome at the bank. So, for all you budding entrepreneurs out there in Prince George, there are several ways to get the startup capital you need to get that rocket out of the stratosphere.

The first thing you should know is that banks are reluctant to offer business loans to the self-employed small business owner, because it is hard to verify their income. However, if you own a home, there are Prince George mortgage brokers than can help you get the startup capital you need by means of a Prince George second mortgage.

When the banks wont’ help, there are other ways to get your vision off the ground.

Big Time Out

There are two amazing things about Cumberland - the trails, and the music.

(Lots of other great things too.)

But the Big Time Out is an event we try to make it to every year. It's a ball.

Rumour has it they are having a little trouble securing a venue this time around, so if you know anyone in a suit/uniform in the sleepy town of Cumberland - be sure to EMPHASIZE how amazing this event is and that it is an absolute necessity. This fantastic outdoor concert is the second best thing to ever happen to the city (besides the great trails).

Bedouin Soundclash, Dub FX, and more fantastic talent - not to mention kick-ass sound system.

Here's their website - see you there!
