Plaid Goat

@CBCEyeopener we’ve tried and tried to keep listening to Elizabeth the food critic, as she’s so nice and tries so hard. But perhaps the latter is the issue… we have to turn the spot off every Friday now as it’s just so hard to listen through. She’s just so much. 😞

@CBCEyeopener This might be one of the most awkward interviews I’ve ever heard 😫. Oof.

To celebrate The Festival of Animated Objects, we look into the whimsical world of puppeteering with #Calgary artist Jen Bain (and Louis!)

Today is an important day! One of our founding sponsors, the one, the only Wild Life Distillery turns 5 years old. We can't say enough about these fine folks. Impeccable distillers, amazing people and cocktail geniuses. HBD from your friends at Plaid Goat!

We couldn't be more stoked to share this video of Stephanie Nychka showcasing her talents in and around Canmore and the Rockies. Stylin' sass, all bunched up in a momma bundle of awesome-sauce! pinkbike.com/news/video-fli…

Ride the Rockies Snapshot // Edmonton, AB Just announced this morning, the Edmonton Mountain Bike Alliance is working to develop a park in central Edmonton’s Queen Elizabeth Park! Add your ideas and fill out EMBA's survey here: edmbikepark.ca 📸: Nick Croken

Just ride your bike and everything will be fine ;)

The conditions are all time in the Rockies, so let's keep the stoke going. The seasons are changing, and fall is the most spectacular, albeit short, window to lap up that all time fall time glory. No bugs, great temps, night dew tacks down the dirt, and blissful scenery!

We’re sending massive hugs to events across the industry, especially in B.C. right now. So much change has been sprung on everyone the last couple of years. The calls you're in the thick of are TOUGH. We feel you. 😖 #plaidgoat #circa2017 #covidsucks #sorryBCevents

Huge congrats to Max Langille for recently being signed on by @commencal! Max took 3rd place in our very first Jump Jam in 2016 and we have loved watching him among other local athletes continue to progress. See the welcome video here: youtube.com/watch?v=vKWg8J…

It's a wonderful Wednesday to highlight the growth of women in mountain biking. We see you, so please continue to bring your strengths, talent and kick ass femme bend to our sport's culture. #estrofest #plaidgoat #RideTheRockies

This seems like a fitting video for the tail end of our May long weekend in many parts of the province. Kudos to Edmonton's Devon Brown for infusing humour into a social reality! youtube.com/watch?v=jOkEVL…

UPDATE: we will not be proceed with further planning to hold the June 19 Jump Jam. Given the steps backwards & increased restrictions... it's very unlikely that we'll be able to hold a meaningful event in a month's time. So get out there & ride! It's why we're here. 🤘

Riding friends, our pals up in Edmonton have shared that some proposed changes may be coming to the Ribbon of Green. Many of these have the Edmonton MTB Alliance concerned. Read the proposals and get details on the engagement sessions here: edmmtnbike.ca/ribbon-of-gree…

Happy Women's MTB Day to all the strong cheeky chicka shredders out there! Today is your day and we can't wait to see you out on the trails 🥰 #womansMTBday

Are you ready to go any time? Looking to do it multiple times a day? Do you wear protection? We see a lot of ourselves in this prescription. Do you? youtu.be/SCEUfcHD0Mk Trek Bicycle nailed it! #gobybike

More details are to come, and registration will open in May. As well, we're working on a virtual series that you can find more about in today's newsletter (see below). #plaidgoat #allisnotlost #RideTheRockies mailchi.mp/8842dea1aceb/2…

We‘ll be working with one of our trusted partners at B-Line Indoor Bike Park to bring you a modified Plaid Goat Jump Jam (hopefully) on Sat. June 19. This small event can be well managed at an indoor facility & we can adapt as needed to align with the Gov of AB's guidelines.

Plaid Goat 2021 Update: Due to the situation we still face with COVID + the bike industry’s supply chain issues + consumer demand resulting in most brands having no demo bikes... we’ve decided to postpone the Plaid Goat festival format until 2022. But all is not lost!

It's Downhill Bike Week, so let's pump up the stoke for our trusty double crown steeds! On the heels of bike parks rolling out their seasons passes, here's to dreaming of the summer DH days ahead. 🤘 📷: Peter Dyck 🚵‍♂️: Bryant Bortolotto-Freeman of @theflannelcrew

How many of you know about the growing MTB scene in SE Alberta? You may have met the crew behind this vision at any of our fests when you popped by the @670Collective's tent. But if this is all new to you, check out this @pinkbike article: pinkbike.com/u/Andykmn/blog… #ridetherockies
