Roam in the loam - Whistler and Squamish
Whistler

All photos from Pat Mulrooney

Two all-mountain bikes - 10 lbs difference



Mix in some ladder bridges



don't forget alpine creek crossings



and of course, views of our record snow year



Has the downhill started yet?



Let's call that a false downhill



As the grind really starts when you go from Young Lust and become Comfortably Numb



The descent is so much sweeter because of the climb



Whistler and its hustle and bustle comes in and out of view



More rock drops to loam



There is always time for the mantrain



The trail is tough. Even the descents have ascents.

i'd guess that Knolly is around 38-39 lbs ... it's really a light-freeride bike with steeper angles that pedals uphill really well. i believe those frames are 10.5 lbs or so with a coil shock.

so ya, those fluids shuold weigh quite a bit less being a true all-mountain ride with folding tires, etc ...
