CHANTELL WIDNEY
Why do you ride?
I love it! Its a good way to hang out with my friends and I love being out for hours and hours going full gas.
Describe the best day you've had on a bike.
I rode 207 km in the Okanagan area which included some massive climbs (Penticton, Green Mountain Road, 7 rollers, Richters Pass, Anarchist, Penticton) and ended the ride going 40+km / hour attacking each other. I was amazed I could go that far with that much climbing and still had the legs to spice it up at the end.
What was your first bike?
Some Canadian Tire special of course but my first real bike was a Norco FS I bought used.
What's your favourite local trail?
I love riding Root Canal and Back Breaker.
