Forearm surgery that made riding the cross bike uncomfortable meant I needed a new ride. There was a sample 2010 Drifter in my size sitting boxed in the warehouse so it was unpacked, wrenched into a riding state and not soon enough, I was back in the saddle. Not to mention falling in love.

Return to blog pageWell the boys at Secret Cycles are at it again! After supplying them with a beautifully agile, curvaceous, sleek, light Romax b-Team frame, they went to town turning it into a high-zoot, super-cool ride. The high-gloss, cherry-red Scandium frame is normally dressed as a cyclocross rig with a drop handlebar.

Since approximately 1992, mountain bikers have gathered at the base of Mount Fromme to share their respect of and sympathy for the fallen armed forces and civilians from times of war, aka: Remembrance Day. Every November 11th in North Vancouver they do this by meeting for a coffee and a snack before heading off into the dense, damp, wooded slopes and technical singletrack bike trails of the North Shore. The tradition of cyclists paying their respect this way has been long running but it was my first year in attendance. The photo below was taken after observing 2 minutes of silence starting at 11am.
