Dennis and I were able to compete in the Marmot Basin Hill Climb Challenge due to dB Performance sponsoring the Tour of Alberta. It was a mass start 11km event that finished through the actual finish line that the pros would be using about 2 hours after we finished. So the pros would race 150km, then hit the hill, while we got to just do the hill! One of the other competitors in the Hill Climb was the Edmonton Oilers Team Captain, Andrew Ferrence. His speed up the hill shows that a pro is a pro. He spends a large portion of his off-season on his bike and it shows!
It was a fun event and we appreciated being able to take part in the action, then watch the real riders crush the hill WAY faster than any of us did!
After the event, my daughter Jaya and I descended the 11km from the ski hill to the highway. Talk about a view!

One small detail that Trev didn't mention was that he WON the race! Where's that pic with the podium girls?
I just found your website. Thanks for all the great information. I am planning a trip to their next week! (yes, sorry about the short lead time.) We would love to spend a few days cycling and have been trying to get hold of Giant about renting bikes. IS the program still in existence? Do you happen to know where we could rent/borrow either trail-a-bike attachments of kids or tandem bikes suitable for kids? We live in the Philippines so in the worst case situation we can bring our trail-a bikes, but want to make sure we can at least rent mountain bikes.Thanks for sharing
Bike helmets come in all different sizes and styles and they do not have to lack in design or features. As discussed, there are a variety of styles and decisions you can select from to fit your own personal taste and dislikes. The majority of the helmets are trendy and can be made to fit your own personality.
Many folks like to shop and buy a helmet that matches their style. Some people like to match the motorcycle while others decide to simply make it unique to their personality.Visit for more.
