    EB Riding Tip:

    Cornering tip: To develop solid cornering skills for moderate to high speed flat corners, try rotating your torso to look into the desired direction of your turn with 'all 3 eyes'. As you increase speed, get lower and lower to keep a low centre of gravity, to be able to lean the bike over farther to gain traction and maintain momentum! Have fun!

    Have any feedback? e-mail us.

    Trail Work on a rainy day

    Posted: November 24, 2009

    One of my most favorite things to do, beside riding my bike, is to take a walk through the woods with Darren and Sol, all geared up with rain gear and do walk by trail maintenance while taking photos of interesting views of the forest. On our walk yesterday, we cleared out plugged drainage passages. The forest is so beautiful and tells such a story.

    EB - Around the World!

    Posted: June 17, 2009


    Hey Darren and Kelly,

    I thought you guys might like to see this pic. It's a pic of me after a local DH race here (New Brunswick), I was sporting the jersey I bought from you guys for the race and ended up in 2nd place in the open sport division. Must have been the super cool jersey that made me go fast haha.

    How are things on the Shore? I'm sure biking season is into full swing now. I'm super jealous I'm not there with my new ride shredding the trails, but that will come some day.

    Later days,

    Dave T

    Shimano Saint Disc Brakes Video

    Posted: June 15, 2009


    Check out this video of Shimano team riders Wade Simmons and Andrew Shandro ripping the North Shore on the brand new 4 piston Saint FR/DH brake.

    New and improved for this year, Shimano Saint disc brake calipers offer a 4-piston, dual-diameter design that accommodates more oil for better temperature management while maintaining superior modulation and improved pad wear. The newly improved Hydraulic Servo-Wave Brake Levers improves modulation and uses an intuitive tool-free brake lever reach adjustment.

    Endless Biking Instructors and Guides have been running these brakes for a few months now and I can tell you they are amazing, but dont take our word for it. Check out this video or www.ridesaint.com for more info.

    Adult Progression Sessions - Level 1 June

    Posted: June 9, 2009


    The beginning of any Summer month is a busy time around Endless Biking. Monday, June 1, was the first night of Adult Progression Session: Learn To Ride. As you can see from the picture, one of our most popular adult programs is building even more in popularity.

    Designed for beginner riders, Progression Session: Learn To Ride, progressively builds confidence in basic basic skills such as body positioning, braking, gearing, cornering, straight line riding, etc. Whether you have commuted for 10 years, just bought a new bike, or are a beginner North Shore mountain biker, this program is for you.

    "Keep doing what you do because your instruction has given me the confidence to ride. Before this course I could not ride the North Road Trail on Burnaby Mountain without stopping every 10 seconds from fear of not knowing what to do on the next section. Since I completed the course, I can ride that trail from top to bottom non-stop. I feel so much better as a rider, I even ventured out to Ned's last week with my brother who is an advanced rider... Thank you guys!!!"(PS: LTR)

    Andrew, Vancouver Adult Progression Sessions: Learn To Ride, July, is now taking registration. Please call the Endless Biking office at 604-985-2519 to register or check it out here.

    Training for the BC Bike Race

    Posted: May 15, 2009


    Training for the BC Bike race is really just a great excuse to get out on your bike and RIDE!!! Not only does it get you familiar with new routes that you have never linked up before, but you get to experience new vistas, and get fit at the same time. That's not wrong!!!

    I have done most of my training with my team-mate and work-mate, Rick Loader. We have gone on epics from the EB headquarters to SFU and throughout the North Shore mountains, trying to get as much mileage in as possible.

    We did the BC Bike Race last year, and had such an amazing experience that we are doing it again. Yeah it's hard, but worth the reward, like anything. I will never forget a moment on my bike during the race last year when I said to myself in the midst of an epic day, surrounded by new vistas, good people and single-track, "Wow... I love my life".

    Our goal this year, much like last year, is to be help others when the opportunity arises. We will have packs with tools, a good positive team attitude and tips for who ever want or need it. We will always try to smile and never take ourselves too seriously. It's about an experience.

    More updates to come... June 28th is approaching quickly. Must ride more..

    chow for now.. :)

    Tuesday night was the third week of EB's Adult Progression Session: Learn to Ride. The word from coaches Rick and Shannon is the participants are starting to find their form and that they're looking much more confident on their bikes. For the third week of Adult Progression Session: Learn to Ride, the EB crew brought out the ladders, skinnies, teeter totters, and a variety of other structures. I could tell by the initial look on the participants face that they were not too sure about the structures. As the session progressed though, the non believers were being converted and even the "I cant's" were riding skinnies like a seasoned North Shore veteran.

    Learning is Endless...

    Endless Biking Trail Update: Richard Juryn Memorial Trail

    Posted: March 4, 2009

    Just a quick trail update. The Richard Juryn Trail is an XC trail suitable for beginner to intermediate riders located in North Vancouver. With it's close proximity to to Capilano University and the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge, it is the perfect place to head for an after work ride.

    Branden the "Intern" and I had the chance to go for a spin in the sunshine yesterday after work. We decided to go towards Capilano University, not knowing what the snow line looked like. We were pleasantly surprised that the majority of the snow had disappeared and the Richard Juryn was completely rideable. After shredding the downhill section of the Richerd Juryn, we dropped into the new section of the Baden Powell to finish our ride.

    The Richard Juryn Trail is open and there is no snow. Go Ride Your Bike!

    Check back soon for another EB Trail Update.
