Canadians Invade Mt. Bike Oregon
June 14, 2007
For the last six months, Craig Hunt's wife has been begging him to sign them up for Mt. Bike Oregon. "Actually, we plan almost all of our vacations around riding somewhere," he says. " I've heard good things about this event and haven't ridden in this part of Oregon so this is a good opportunity." Craig and his wife are from Delta, British Columbia, which is south east of Vancouver. They have spent a little time riding in the Hood River, Bend and MacKenzie River trail and they really like Oregon.
Craig is a huge mt. biker. He says he also does some North Shore stuff, but hasn't been doing it as much lately. He mt. bikes about twice a week and he and his wife take a few one- or two-week mt. bike trips every year. He and his wife moved further away from their work and he misses the bike commute, so once a week he rides 25 miles home from work.
On top of all that, Craig shows his mt. bike stripes as a moderator on the MTBR online bulletin boards. After so much time online, he says he's excited about Mt. Bike Oregon because it's a chance to "meet some people that I only know virtually from MTBR and socialize after the rides." We know what you mean, Craig, you mean beer garden.
Craig is also really looking forward to the singletrack riding on the Alpine trail that he's heard so much about, and we're sure he won't be disappointed.
Look for Craig in the beer garden and buy him a cold one. No wait, you can't do that because the beer garden is all free! Saddle up next to Craig and ask him about riding in B.C. He'll tell you all about his favorite places: Burnaby Mountain, the North Shore, Squamish, Whistler or the Sunshine Coast.
