    Looking after a weary body...

    While on the subject of adding supplements to our daily regime I also recommend using Glutamine especially after a hard ride/gym session. It helps to preserve muscle and boosts the immune system both of which are compromised during strenuous exercise. :)

    Cooch has pretty much covered all the bases all I suggest is get your hands on a foam roller, one of the most effective pieces of kit for any cyclist. http://www.mattlambert.co.uk/images/illustration-1/5.jpg

    Whistler Advice

    Have a look at www.ticket2ridebc.com they offer a variety of deals on accommodation/bike hire/lift passes. They also run day trips to other various trails/parks seen on NWD or Roam.

    Dayboro Question (Now Anwsered)

    Does anyone know if Dayboro has been shut down? We went out a few weeks ago and the main shuttle road has a big gate across with official "NO BIKES" signs posted. We thought it might be only temporary due to the recent storms, hope we haven't lost another great DH track.

    warning I'd like to apologise to Nico Jacko, I made the mistake of expressing myself on this forum without the necessary proof. I was wrong to accuse Nico of any wrongdoing.

    Shuttle Slug

    I haven't be behind the wheel of a car in about 16 years so I'm not sure how I'd go. I just don't think many guys are gonna want an unlicensed driver behind the wheel. The last thing they wanna see is their pride and joy rolling down the side of a mountain... might need the pressure suit and...
