MBUK - Comfortably Numb

Read MBUK's Comfortably Numb feature

Pete Travers, rider, writer and all round nice guy came back out for more Whistler action with the intention of seeing what all the fuss was about Whistler's IMBA rated epic - Comfortably Numb.

Stephen Wilde again joined the action and along with top trail dogs Bodhi and Alfie we headed off into 24kms of stunning trail workmanship!

Comfortably Numb is almost unique. 24kms or never ending technical XC trail riding where you have to be on your game to get'er done. 

Possibly the greatest BC XC trail out there?

But then it sunk in that we’d done it. We’d ridden BC’s most epic trail and possibly the world’s  toughest 24km in one. Plus the cougar hadn’t  eaten us.

I started to experience this bizarre  natural high as I pedalled with ease – something we hadn’t done for the past six or seven hours – back into Whistler and a surge of energy rattled around my body as we actually sprinted out of the saddle to nearest bar for a keg of beer and plates of burgers and fries.

Whether Comfortably Dumb or Uncomfortably Won, this trail has to be experienced. Just don’t ask me to come with you!
