Epic Riding & Endless Views in Golden, BC.

Aug 2, 2018

These are the days to live for.

Not sure what to expect and only having a downhill bike with me made us question whether or not to go on this adventure. After some discussing, we decided to go anyway.

We left the car a few kilometers down the road hoping to hitch a ride to the Kicking Horse base. After no such luck, the pedal up began.

As many of you can probably relate, Kjel had to listen to me complain about pedaling the DH bike uphill in 30-degree weather. A soaked shirt and short ride later we were sitting in a gondola enjoying a pleasant ride to the top of the bike park. Now all that was left was to hike-a-bike the terminator ridges past the confused hikers and get to the descent.

It might have been easier to ride a chairlift all day but now we are left with a completely different perspective of the area. Hoping some of these images inspire you to get out on your own adventures and maybe find some gems otherwise never experienced. Happy Trails!

Fast, flowy, loose, steep, tech, it's all there

The light was amazing in the forest

This being our first time biking in Golden we were amazed by the endless terrain and amazing Alpine trails. Can't wait to come back and explore these mountains some more.

Photography by Kjel Erickson. Big props to him for sending a lot of the sections on T4 as he only rode his first ever double black the day before. Here he is clearly taking a selfie on his first ride down Paint Chipper and Pioneer in the bike park

Follow along on our other adventures or just go ride your bike

 IF this place was Golden BC which I'm not saying it is because #GoldenSucks look at the Golden Cycling Club's page and if you appreciate their work (especially the Moonrakers chainsawing holy cow) and Donate

 The photos are mostly from t4, that slab is paint chipper in the bike park. However from t4 you ride down LSD then canyon creek and you have the option to either ride into Nicholson or back accross moonraker to the ski hill or down cbt to town.

 Pretty sure that is Revelstoke...which is way cooler then Golden. There is no need to check out Golden at all in fact...

 Seems that people don't want their riding places promoted, understandable, does pinkbike enquire about this, or just publishes ?

 It's a beautiful area, no matter who you are or what you are doing there, respect that place and the life that lives there.

 Those pics are photo shopped and labeled incorrectly - they are actually in Revelstoke - Nobody bikes in Golden
