soft-arse Yuley is on the lifts again
I’m still not sure this is wise but my wife and i are about to pack up our kids (6 and 10) and live in canada for a year . We figure now is about the best time to do it (before my daughter starts high school). We will land in Vancouver mid April and make out way to Nelson on the edge of the Rockies to live for 12 months. We spent a bit of time there last year and loved it. Small town but we will be maintaining a few days a week work here in Oz by working remotely. Anyway...
What do I take?
I need to travel as light as possible but don’t want to forget something essential. My list so far is:
While there will be amazing riding to be done, the downside is a limited season due to snow rolling in for a good 5-6 months.
I should mention that I will also try to get to Whistler for a good 2-3 days bombing in June.
I’m trying to resist taking a spare rear wheel, brake bleed kit, fork oil etc but let me know your experience and what is essential.
Also, if you have any local knowledge of Nelson, Rossland, Retallack - tell me where to ride.
Thanks!

- bike (Transition Sentinel - spec in link)
- light full face (Troy Lee Stage) and goggles
- knee and elbow pads, gloves and general riding gear
- hydration pack (‘cause I haven’t sorted the bottle/tool storage option yet)
- flat and clipless pedals
- shock pump
- basic tools including a multi-tool, spoke wrench, Allen keys and torx set
- torque wrench and bits
