Check out our DogGo giveaway at 👉instagram.com/p/C-NdmBzCb8u/ 🐕 I really enjoyed these trails, and the ocean views were pretty distracting too. What other trail networks has a similar trail-quality to view-quality ratio? 🤓
I aspire to ride features with same confidence you do. It is so fun to watch and hear your thought process. Makes me think of my own internal dialogue when tackling new features.
I am always impressed by your conditioning in these videos - you manage to talk while riding and not seem too short of breath where most people would be wheezing :) it makes for an enjoyable watch. Do you do anything except MTB for cardio training? Cheers
I used to train intervals with a power meter on all of the climbs, along with using a smart trainer through the winter, but now I have a healthy mindset instead. 🙂
"I don't know the name of this trail, but it starts with an N and I will put it on the screen now." Trail name: K2 I can't laugh too much because I forget trail names all the time. This is a gorgeous set of trails, good and challenging with amazing views.
This made me laugh too, but to be fair to Dale in this case, most of the trails in the riding area have two names. One is the original, and the other is the official name given to the trail by the Capital Regional District (CRD) at the time they became sanctioned. "K2" was renamed to "Manzanita" officially but Trailforks maintains both names, including the CRD name in parentheses behind the original. e.g. "K2 (Manzanita)"
@@idleofthedangerforce yeah I have run into that a lot where traul names are different dependin on the app you use and then when you get there it is marked with a completely different name none if the apps used, Labyrinth at Syncline is a good example of this.
Looked like the perfect trail route for a rider with your skill level. I see why it lived up to your expectations. I’d love to see you do that “lily pad” line when riding with friends, but good call not to commit when solo.
Next you have to ride upper and lower Maple on Maple Mountain. These two trails are like a hybrid of what you rode in harbourview, but mixed with Pandemic in Shawnigan. Sounds like you need to make another trip back!!!
Your voice reminds me of "Daily Dose of Internet." I'm guessing someone has probably mentioned that before, but I just wanted to say it again. It's really soothing! :P
when the review on the Lewis brakes? I've done a few rides on my lewis now and am having a issue with my rear brake. wondering if you have had any issues

Sooke is such a cool zone, started riding ther 4 or 5 years ago and make a trip each year! Good effort up, for sure!

Looks like you got perfect conditions, love that zone!
So good! An early season miracle, haha.
Haven’t done those trails but love the riding in that area.
They're fantastic! I have the other half of the network coming soon. 🙂

Unreal riding zone

I think that once you "unlock" it, it would actually be pretty easy. But it still looks horrific haha.
Absolutely gorgeous trail!
You made it back to the island and welcome to harbourview - it's one of my favourites!!
Next you have to ride upper and lower Maple on Maple Mountain. These two trails are like a hybrid of what you rode in harbourview, but mixed with Pandemic in Shawnigan.

I watch your videos with a great deal of sadness, sadness at how good a rider I would be if I grew up in BC.
Well it's time to turn that frown upside-down, since I grew up more than 4000km away from BC! 😉
@@DaleStone Well, let me know if you need a CTO for your growing business, I’m available 😅 But you have a fair point
ITS awesone trail Dale you are the Best
Welcome to the South Island Dale!
Hey Dale what pads and rotors do you use with your Trinitys?
Stock pads and XTR rotors!
Your voice reminds me of "Daily Dose of Internet." I'm guessing someone has probably mentioned that before, but I just wanted to say it again. It's really soothing! :P
Only when I'm slightly sick! Haha

It'll be ready when it's ready! I take my time to ensure accuracy. 🙂
@@DaleStone the way it should be!
So I heard one bell rang, I think it was a mistake but at least it was a bell ring! Don’t forget about the entertainment!
There were a few! I will concede that one was definitely a grabby bush though, haha.
is it just me or anyone else annoyed by your quick release axle facing forward?🤣😂
One of my friends was so annoyed with it that he actually fixed it for me mid-ride shortly after this video. Thanks Andrea... 😆
@@DaleStone i'd be doing the same if we rode together and i see that..ahahaha..
