Nearby trail system and favourite trails:
Anything in the Sea to Sky region! My favourite trail system is in the Seymour Demonstration forest. I also love riding in the Gulf islands, nothing beats those island roads.
What do you ride (type of terrain)? What's the intended use for your new bike?
Equal mix of gravel and road, although I prefer gravel. Singletrack or doubletrack I love it all.
What’s your upcoming ride plans?
Nothing planned as of yet, but hoping to get the Cache on some bikepacking trips in the near future. Hopefully to the Gulf islands.
What model and colour?
Cache Steel in Sand
How tall are you? What size frame did you get? How does it fit you?
I am 5’9” and got a 56cm, it fits perfectly comfy.
What's your bike spec? Did you do anything custom?
A lot of it is custom, I also set it up as a flat bar.
-XTR brakeset
-Nitto Bullmoose handlebar
-Shimano NX drivetrain
-Panaracer/Simworks “the homage” tires
What do you love about your new bike?
Everything really! It's the ultimate adventure bike and takes me to some pretty awesome places. The Cache handles gravel like a champ and it really is a do it all machine.
