Heh, are you a Matt too?
Yeah, there are a few of us on here. So did the guy stay on the bike in that photo I put up? Looks like he already has a mouth full of rocks.

Yeah, Ryan loves it! Sorry, his name is NOT Matt!

I taken it for a rip. It's super solid... you can ride it XC too if you want. The first thing you notice when you sit on it, is that there is virtually no top tube (Because of the way it's designed), but once you start riding... it doesn't matter. The bike is solid as anything!

A friend of mine moved out West from here, and has been teasing us with info ever since... I used to live in Calgary, and going to the mountains was just an every weekend thing... come to Ontario.. and... well... you get to realise what you're missing!

you are more then welcome to come for a ride. Beer is a required part of the post ride meal ...

What are blue mountain and searchmont like (are there even others)?...There has to be somewhere to ride there. You seem to get some of the best ontario shots around ...
