About two weeks ago I was given the opportunity to travel to the Yukon with Ride Guide and film the local trails and Culture with Norco Factory Team rider Ryan Leech. Of course, I jumped on the opportunity and here we are, in Whitehorse.

After landing in Whitehorse, we hopped in our rental truck and headed out to Boreal, a mountain biking retreat. This will be our home for the next week but more on that in a bit… First before settling in, we were whisked off to the local sports complex where Ryan was conducting a demo. The community has really embraced cycling from the ground up and the government has jumped aboard to help out. Shortly after Ryan’s demo Kate, a local volunteer gave away 60 Pro-tech helmets to anyone who needed one. This weekend is the kickoff of the Bike Your Brains Out, helmet campaign.

After some pizza, pop and entertainment we headed back to Boreal. We are staying in Yurts! If you don’t know what a Yurt is, (I didn’t) it is a temporary structure that is round and resembles a tee-pee only way nicer. A great place to put up the feet, relax and get ready for some riding.

More soon,
