  I recently moved to the Sea to Sky area and am looking for a local bike forum/sales listings site in the Vancouver area to plug a LFGSS-shaped hole... Any tips?

  Recently moved to Squamish, BC (Canada) and have signed myself up for some ultras and skyraces in 2022... Now it's time to get myself some poles – does anyone have any recommendations? I've never run with them before, but they'll definitely come in useful for this in June https://meettheminotaur.com/minotaur/

  Can anyone point me in the direction of some tried and tested strength training for legs/ankles (sprained my ankle a while ago and want to make sure they’re as strong as can be)? I’m definitely guilty of just running and rarely doing any strength training, which is maybe why my ankle rolled (according to the physio)… Anything with crossover for ski fitness would be great too!

  Hey, @idealstandard and I will be in Toronto in a few weeks and would love to have bikes to get around the city while we're there. Anywhere we can rent them for a good chunk of time? We'll be in the city for about 6 weeks seeing family before heading west to seek our fortunes.. Thanks

  Rode some of the Bikepacking.com Westcountry Way route yesterday (from Chagford to Princetown). It was a ride of two halves – one in glorious sunshine on gravel tracks up and over the moors, and the second half riding in heavy rain and an icy fog with minimal layers, no gloves and a slow puncture..

  It's a cracking route and I'd love to do the whole thing, bivvying along the way. We found a map, compass and case submerged in a bog, and the route drawn on it was this very route... I hope whoever was riding it had a backup way of navigating.https://bikepacking.com/routes/westcount­ry-way/
