Get a hold of your emotions, because we’ve got another epic bike ride for you! Last year 53 amazing riders braved rain, cold, mud, and knarl and one lucky lady came up with the best poker hand to win a sweet New Years powder skiing trip at Baldface Lodge. The other 52 lucky souls were treated to fantastic swag bags, prizes, a delicious BBQ and a heck of a fun day. The event is a fundraiser for the Nelson Cycling Club, and with all the trails around Nelson and the amount of work they do, they need all the help they can get!

Avid’s mission in designing these new brakes was to enhance ride quality, increase power, and improve modulation. They were also able to reduce weight, improve temperature performance and reduce some noise issues with the Juicy line. The Elixir has a new, very sleek look, which is almost a throwback to the days before large reservoirs. But large reservoirs do not improve stopping power or modulation. The real trick is inside the Elixir R lever, which features Avid’s all new Taperbore technology.
