Arbutus Routes park bikes for 2012

New for 2012, Arbutus Routes is adding some DH bikes to tackle the Whistler Bike Park. Building on our current rental fleet with Specialized, we will be adding the brand new 2012 Specialized Status II.

The bike is built off the highly successful design of the Demo series with the proven DH FSR linkage and a plush 8 inches of travel. Next time to the Whistler bike park for summer 2012 you should check out the new Status. The bike comes in two models and Arbutus Routes will be carrying the top end model in the Status II.

For a recent on trail review of the Status check out the article on Pink Bike-http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Specialized-status-DH-Bike-2012.html

Full details of the bike and rental pricing will be updated on the site over the winter and set for summer 2012.

Fall Season Biking

The time has come for those beautiful crisp Fall rides as the leaves are changing colours. It really is an ideal time to get out there on the bike as the trails are in fantastic shape and the air is super fresh.

Over Thanksgiving a crew from Arbutus Routes, headed up past Pemberton to check out the biking in the Tenquille Lake area. This spot had a large scale fire sweep through the valley a few years back now and in it's wake has left a very cool contrast of colours in the forest.

Once putting in effort to get to the top of the trail the descent starts where the trail fork up to the lake and the cabin and continues to get better and better as you descend into the valley. With the fall colours upon us the combination of charred Douglas fir trees with bright green and the reds and yellows of the Fall made for an amazing ride down.

The trail is in great shape now so make sure you get out there and enjoy the best of this Fall season.
