12/05/08: Sunday Times - Comfortably Numb
Back in July we hosted Pete Travers from What MTB for a weeks fact finding mission on the biek park as well as a week ending jaunt through the Whistler signature epic Comfortably Numb trail to show him just what the essence of BC singletrack riding was all about.
The resulting feature story -
Comfortably Numb - hit issue 223 of MBUK in April and was a great story and photo segment of the magazine.
Pete has since rewritten his story for the broadsheets and on Sunday, it hit the Sunday Times Life and Style section in both print and web media.
Check out the Times Online for the Whistler Comfortably Numb story.
