Those guys are great, I have hired bikes from a couple of other places in Squamish and Whistler, but this was the only place where bikes were in top condition. There weren't any creaks, poorly indexed gears or unresponsive dropper post. The bike mechanic there - Ales made sure the bike is checked for issues and set up the bikes perfectly for our ride. Our guide that day was Cass. We were driven to the tracks and after a short climb, we went down on the Half Nelson. We wouldn't have had so much fun if it wasn't for Cass. She made sure we know what the track we were riding looks like and what we should watch out for. I highly recommend getting a guide on those tracks if you only visit for a while. It makes all the difference in the world. After the half day of riding, we cycled down to the city and Kris picked us up to drive us back to the Adventure Center. We have spent two weeks in Squamish and that day was one of the best we had out there.
