OK, so we're finally going to take a day at Whistler and hit a XC trail instead of the park over the 4th of July. We want to ride Comfortably Numb and I'd like to hear some recommendations on which bike to take, my Superlight or my Coiler?
Bike for Comfortably Numb
- Thread starter tadrscin
- Start date
Whistler xc trails are pretty technical and gnarly compared to the rest of the world. I'd stick with the coiler for sure.
I haven't ridden Comfortably Numb, but I rode A River Runs Through It twice and friggin love that trail (for all it's play-around xc glory).

Yeah I've ridden RRTI and would definitely take the Coiler for that. I was mainly thinking about the weight for Comfortably Numb since I hear it takes 4-6 hours. I don't mind climbing on the Coiler, but if the descent doesn't merit it I'd rather take the Superlight.
OK, the Superlight it is. Is 6 hours a realistic time if we go at a moderate pace with some picture taking along the way? Are there some fun TTFs to session along the way, or is it mainly technical XC?
