  • These were some of the best mountain bike trails I've gotten a chance to ride. The Mt Mahony trails are located in Powell River which is part of BC's Sunshine Coast. While it's physically attached to Mainland Canada, due to the mountainous Geography, it's only accessible via Ferries. Out of all the Mountain bike Trails I got to explore on this trip, Powell river has to be my favorite.

      You can get the base model force for 3800 a compete. Mine with all the custom parts is closer to 7-8k. I'm not sure what the supply side of things are but 2500-3500 used to get you a pretty baller bike, but I think that number is a little higher these days.

    Phil you're right about people gravitating towards MTB after other bike sports. I've been a moto guy my whole life, I went to Snowshoe last year to watch the races and ride the next day with my brother who was working there at the time. I had so much fun that day, didn't crash, caught a little air, epic. After just one time I would gladly sell my dirt bikes to get into MTBing if I had a closer trails. Unfortunately I'm in Central TN now and all the spots are several hours east. That's really the only thing stopping me from going all in.
