DeVinci and Sacred Rides: together at last

It's true. After a long courtship full of awkward, shy moments and playing hard-to-get, Sacred Rides Mountain Bike Holidays and DeVinci bikes are now dating.

We met at a party, somewhere in the vicinity of the chip table. I was reaching for the nacho chips while DV was reaching for the guacamole. Our hands touched, ever so briefly, but it was enough to send sparks flying throughout the room. I think at one point the curtains were on fire, but we were too enthralled with each other to notice.

DeVinci is now going to be our main sponsor, providing us with staff bikes, rental bikes, and some sweet jerseys and shorts. I'm especially excited because we get to work with a Canadian company, based not far from our Toronto offices (they're in Quebec). This fits in nicely with our local suppliers mandate (part of our Responsible Riding sustainability mandate).

DeVinci is one of the smaller bike companies out there, but they have a great reputation. I first rode a DeVinci at Fernie Alpine Resort a few years back and was immediately impressed. There's a lot of attention to detail on their bikes and you can tell that the builders are proud of their work.

We'll be sporting the Remix SL3 XC Trail bike and the Hectik 1 All-Mountain bike in our British Columbia and Utah rental fleet. I'm getting mine in a few weeks and hope to have some dirt to try it out on soon!
