BC, in November - ugh. For many of us, the riding season is coming to a close, but not for ALL of us. Sovereign Cycle team rider Jillian Thatcher got it right. She packed up her bike and headed south. Why? Because it's summer somewhere - Sedona, AZ to be exact! Here's Jill's take on extending the riding season with insight on biking, eating, sleeping, and repeating.
Remember the sales tag on the Sovereign swag you picked up in 2017 - $5 from every shirt is donated to a local not-for-profit trail advocacy group? Well, the year is up and we’ve made a tally of the money raised. Thanks to YOU, we are able to donate $525 to the West Kelowna Trail Crew! Thank you for your support - let’s see if we can beat that for 2018. Rumour has it the new t-shirts are gonna be dope!

In 2013 when Outside Magazine awarded the Yukon as the best mountain biking destination, we have been keen to return, except of course, this time we’d have our bikes. We last visited the home of the world’s toughest dog sled race in 2008; we could see the potential then, but knew the area needed more time to mature and develop. With the opening of mountain bike tour companies like Boréale Explorers and the founding of the esteemed trail building project, Singletrack to Success, both instrumental in the growth of mountain biking for the area, we knew we wouldn’t have to wait long.
It's now October and you're either squeezing in one last bike trip, or planning for next season's two-wheeled adventures. If you have the Kootenays on the brain, you're not alone. In this Ride Diary Leigh and Russ head south for the challenging trails the area is famous for and end up finding awesome in Nelson, BC!
