VIMB.com Site Updates

July 1st, 2010

Update Image

Hello World,

Just wanted to take a moment to point out a couple of updates to the VIMB.com website that I have been working on lately. I have been trying to find some time to add much needed content to a few key areas, “Maps and Where to Ride” as well as creating a “Mountain Bike Tech” page. If you hit up the “More…(that is updated too) link in the site header, you will see then new pages I have added, the ones that have been updated, and the ones that were there before, and remain much the same.

Maps and Where to Ride is a mixture of donated maps, links to riding resources as well as local and not so local trail resource information. I have included a good mix of sites and info, but as always this is a work in progress. If you have any links, maps, sites or good trail resources, please send me an e-mail or post up in the Forum. I will be happy to get them included. I am especially interested in Vancouver Island stuff, but that probably goes without saying.

Mountain Bike Tech page is an idea I have been tossing around for a while. I have seen a few site out there with similar information, but not always exactly what I was looking for personally. I have tried to start by setting up access to the sites and to the manufacturers that I know my friends and peers ride, but there is sooooo much out there, that I have barely scratched the surface. PLEASE send me what you have in the way of tech resource links, warranty site info, tech video or “how to’s”, anything that I have missed.

More to come…as soon as I find the time. Like that phpBB upgrade I have been promising, and that gallery too!

VIMB North Shore Trip April 2010

May 2nd, 2010

Loading up at the PnROn April 25th 2010 many of the VIMB.com regulars (affectionately and more commonly known as the Wrecking Crew) dog piled into a few Vehicles and headed to Vancouver’s North Shore for a day of fun and frivolity. There was by my count 15 of us that day, which in itself can be somewhat of a nightmare to organize. VIMB.com regular and Oak Bay Bikes West Shore front man Ken P got the vote (took control?) and became “Ride Leader” for this one. This was good for 2 reasons:

1. Ken P knows the trails, and every good ride leader should know the trails right?

2. Ken P is sporting a sweet mullet. Every self respecting ride leader should be sporting a mullet….right?

Regardless of hair style choices, the ride was scheduled, bikes and gear were loaded at the trusty Helmcken Park and Ride, and everyone headed for the BC Ferries right on schedule (fortunately they were on schedule too). » Read more: VIMB North Shore Trip April 2010

Welcome to the new VIMB.com

Old VIMB Logo Blue

Hello All,
Welcome to the “New and Improved” Vancouver Island Mountain Biking (VIMB) website. Here you will be able to find some good information on where to ride, who to ride with and what to bring to ride. My goal is to provide a portal of sorts to Mountain Bike riding on Vancouver Island with a focus on the local Victoria BC community. I am hoping to soon add a Maps page to the site, with a bunch of GREAT local riding maps. Many of these maps have been created by locals with some serious mapping and trail building skills.

I am also in the process of adding a Photo Gallery to the site, this is your place to find local trails photos and shots from around the Island and the province. Many of the VIMB.com wrecking crew are avid photographers, so check back for some quality stuff!

All/Most/Some of this is still on the drawing table, for now just the basics (online/new template/new look and feel etc…). Please check back soon for the new stuff I mentioned above, and thanks for checking out VIMB.com!

Oh and please take the time to visit the Forum and join up.


Thanks for looking, come back soon!
