\u201cWill you let time slip away from you? Or will you use it well?\u201d That is the opening to Sleeper.co\u2019s 2025 World Cup review. But, with the mega highlights reel landing on Black Friday, it\u2019s easy to think the Sleeper crew might be hinting at time beyond just the race clock.<\/p>\n
Maybe its a hint to stop scrolling endless Black Friday deals and, if you can\u2019t get outside to ride yourself (it is late November, after all), spend your attention on something better. Like watching eight minutes of the best moments from a massively wild World Cup season. Or maybe not. Maybe it\u2019s just when Sleeper.co managed to finish the video. But watching this is still better than opening another \u201c40% off our least desirable products\u201d e-mail, right?<\/p>\n
Sleeper.co 2025 World Cup mega highlights reel<\/p>\n
Wow, what a season! What an edit. Sleeper.co could be the best thing about World Cup racing, besides the racing itself.<\/p>\n
Anyway, now that race season is over, it\u2019s time to switch gears.<\/p>\n
On Vancouver Island, winter means something a little different than the rest of Canada. Yes, it does snow on Vancouver Island. Just not all the time. The rest of the time, the dark days are spent slogging through soaking wet conditions. Getting out the door is the hard part, after that it\u2019s all foggy, slippery good times.<\/p>\n
Dillon Butcher thrives in the soupy winter weather and short daylight hours in\u00a0A Portrait of Winter.\u00a0And you don\u2019t even have to get your feet wet to enjoy it.<\/p>\n
Dillon Butcher:\u00a0A Portrait of Winter\u00a0<\/p>\n
What do Dillon Butcher and Liam Morgan have to say about A Portrait of Winter?<\/p>\n
\u201cA Portrait of Winter is a look into the quieter side of life here on Vancouver Island. The trails run slower, the days are shorter, and most days we spend more time digging than riding. The idea for the project came about when Liam and I decided we wanted to showcase the beauty of the offseason here at Vancouver Island. Not just the perfect spring and summer conditions we typically shoot in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alright, that\u2019s enough biking. Go back to scrolling the sales.<\/p>\n
What? You want more? Fair enough. Go watch Gee Atherton\u2019s harrowing post-storm woodwork madness from DyFi bike park in Windfell<\/a>.<\/p>\n
