Matias, owner of Stridsland, lives and operates out of Denmark but grew up in North Vancouver and visits in the summer. He’s started organizing a big group ride when in town, and this past Saturday was the 2026 edition – combining forces with Boneshaker MTB and pals Hotdogs on Wheelz. I also rode with him and the other organizers, along with a small group, on Thursday evening. These snaps are from Thursday:




Now onto Saturday. This first photo was taken on the morning dog walk actually, but I quite like it so I’m including anyway. The ride was predictably well-attended, and a lot of fun. I got a lot of wheelie practice in, and have been steadily improving – and the hype from the ride (and a couple beers) helped me take my chances with some higher speed shenanigans.
