Trails in Manitoba are rarely compared to those in Fernie, Kelowna, or the North Shore of British Columbia, but when Russ Hillman and his son set out to build a trail, that’s exactly what they were hoping to accomplish. They wanted something to ride that was representative of their experiences on some of BC’s finest singletrack so that when it was time to road trip west, they would be confident on the bike no matter what they were riding. Now, after months of planning and work, Cindy Lou Who is ready to be ridden. The journey from start to now was not without its roadblocks. In 2022, the H ..read more

But with spring around the corner, we’re running out of time to get some laps in on our fat bikes. There are all kinds of excellent spots to ride in Manitoba, but a few are near and dear to our hearts.

Biking in our winter is one of my favourite activities. There’s so much sunshine to absorb, the snowy landscapes are gorgeous, and frozen rivers become a whole new network of trails. For those of us in the city, the rivers bring immersive nature so much closer. After riding, my cheeks are rosy, I’m ready to replenish those calories on holiday spreads, and I can get cozy for some indoor time without feeling antsy… until the next day. But determining the proper attire can be such an anxiety-producing roadblock, and it’s stopped me from taking more than a few rides before. Internet searches ar ..read more

Unfortunately, these opportunities do require a lot of time and resources to access for those living in and around ..read more
