Introduction
TransRockies. The toughest mountain bike race on earth…
With reality television taking over airwaves of the world it’s hard to make sense of what’s real and what’s real-for-TV.
A lot of television, not much reality. That’s where the TransRockies comes in. Over 500 kilometres and 12 000 vertical metres through the most rugged and majestic terrain the Canadian Rockies have to offer. Real adventure. Real survivors. Really real people.
Think of it as an Amazing Race without all of the boyfriend-girlfriend blow-ups (well maybe not), or a Survivor’s lesson in physical endurance, or an Extreme Makeover in mental discipline.
Even the rewards are real. Friendships, memories, and a chance to call yourself FINISHER.
This is the spirit of the growing international TransRockies brand – Rugged, Adventurous, Real.

For years, cyclists of all types have struggled with the problematic nature of friction within their cable systems, leading to sluggish, inexact or unpredictable performance. In answer to these challenges, RideOn® Bicycle Cable Systems were introduced to cycling at the 1993 Fat Tire Festival in Colorado, becoming the first high performance cable systems for cyclists. In 2003, Gore stopped selling cables commercially, but relentless requests from customers for RideOn® Bicycle Cables prompted Gore to look at the popular product line once again.
Equipped with a re-designed and re-engineered RideOn® cable featuring the latest Gore coating technology, Gore is unleashing the new and improved GORE™ RideOn® Cable Systems to the cycling world. The patented cable coating technology introduced with the new GORE™ RideOn® Cable Systems significantly lowers friction, producing quick, precise and predictable movements. Tested for friction and durability, the GORE™ RideOn® Cable Systems are available in two types for any type of riding. Whether it's a winding road or rocky trail, the GORE™ RideOn® Cable Systems were designed to battle the elements and win. |
