Auf wiedersehen, adieu… A STARBUCK’S builder has left the Yukon, but the hills are alive with the sound of his interview outtakes.

Unbelievably, no beers or Biers were harmed in the recording of a year-end conversation with CMBC's "de facto" trail director.

Podcast fan and CMBC “multi-tool” Colin McCann is disabused of the idea that ETTAS offers any marketing value for the club.

While riding BOUNCING BUNNY, Ludovic Gouaillier shares his thoughts on the brave new world of (part-time) e-mountain biking in the Yukon.

Thane Phillips dishes on his not-so-single-handed effort to build BOUNCING BUNNY—and unlock new possibilities on the Mt. Mac ski trails.

Was BOUNCING BUNNY built by a nudist? Where did the name really come from? Is this just salacious click bait? There’s only one way to find out.

In which we revive the memory of a beloved garden-gnome (RIP) in the service of an overdue announcement.

A passing comment in the BOOGALOO story leads down a rabbit hole… and, ultimately, to Whitehorse General Hospital.

Built circa 2011, this was the last project on BOOGALOO in which an original builder had significant hands-on involvement. Was it worth the effort?

While riding BOOGALOO, Evan Wise discusses the rewards of participating in local building efforts.

Long before there were aloha-shirted US “patriots” with AR-15s, three BOOGALOO-obsessed Yukoners were armed to the teeth—with handsaws.

Still stalling for time, BOOGALOO builder and podcaster Mark Koepke enlists a former employee to help him crank out one final teaser.

In Thane Phillips’ absence, fellow BOOGALOO builders Mark Koepke and Jesse Devost explore concepts ranging from “new agey” to authoritarian.

Jesse Devost and Mark Koepke recall the good times of building BOOGALOO for Thane Phillips.

In which we dispense with gnome-related nonsense and reveal the subject of our next oral history.

Exactly like a ‘90s TV drama set in Baltimore. Except it was a “true crime” podcast. Set in Whitehorse. On singletrack. And only gnomes got murdered.

2024 brings big changes to the simultaneously expanding and contracting universe of Yukon mountain bike trail podcasts.

STARBUCK’S had three primary builders. Or was it four? We offer space to the mane man behind the “Michael Bolton” alter ego.

While riding STARBUCK'S REVENGE, Sylvain reflects on the evolution of Boréale Explorers within the Yukon’s mountain biking scene.  

Once upon a time, local riders dreamed of better access to the Goat Trail on Mount Mac. STARBUCK'S is the fairy tale ending.

Paul Burbidge fondly remembers a certain dog’s complete ignorance of proper trail etiquette during the STARBUCK'S REVENGE build.

In which an accused “gnome dropper” issues a vehement denial, makes a stunning confession, and suggests the next trail to feature.

The tale of an epic REHAB Strava rivalry that may or may not have run its course.

[Credits]

While riding REHAB, Ian Parker recalls how Paul Burbidge declined his invitation to participate in a sequel to that build.

With a little help from friends and family, builder Paul Burbidge finally gets into REHAB. (The story of his “pretty mellow” Grey Mountain trail, that is.)

REHAB builder Paul Burbidge discusses his appreciation for the jankiest features that fellow trail makers can put in front of him.

In which we recap and advance the podcast’s gnome-related investigations, ultimately leading to the builder of our third featured trail.

While riding ROCK LOBSTER with his 12-year-old son Stian and an unnamed 49-year-old coward, Brent reflects on Yukon’s young riders.

Double black diamond, child’s play—or both? Three middle-aged dudes tap into youthful energy to create Mt. Mac’s rock ‘n roll classic.

Another silly teaser . . . Yukon trail builder Rob McConnell takes a philosophical view of injuries on ROCK LOBSTER.

Which storied Yukon trail will be featured next? The answer to this burning question—and at least one other—is finally revealed.

While riding SOUTHPAW with builder Scott Keesey, bike instructor Kate White contemplates the possibility of trading two wheels for one.

Passion. Betrayal. Naked Germans? They each play a role in the story of SOUTHPAW, as told by builder Scott Keesey and friends.

Introducing a new podcast about Yukon mountain bike trails. We're digging into their origins—one trail and one story at a time.
