Riders new to its hallowed ground, keen to test their mettle. Repeat racers, hungry for more. Redemption-seekers, looking to take back what Mt7 took from them. And local shredders, stoked to get amongst the action and share their epic backyard with the best in the world. They all stood shoulder-to-shoulder at the top of the Mt7 in Golden, B.C., peering down the steep chute that would be the beginning of their 1200 vertical meter, 7.3 kilometer, 11 and a half minute+ race run. And then one by one, they dropped in.

The 30th March Mass Ride featured a Demo Day with Coast Cycles. It was the first opportunity for the public to test ride the 2 brand new trail bikes from our home-grown bicycle label – the Atom and the Axis. That itself was good enough reason for us to meet up and ride! Here’s some reminiscence of our recent ride.
