26. WHAT’S A SACRED RIDE? We get asked this question a lot. People wonder what’s up with the ‘sacred’ in our name. Are we riding with Jesus?Well, no, although if that’s your thing then go for it. Do we practice odd rituals?Well, yes… if you count greasing our chains before every ride, and having a beer after. Are we trying to convert people to our religion?Well, yes again... but not ‘religion’ like you’re used to thinking about it. It’s the religion of mountain biking and it means something different to everyone. For us, the ‘sacred ride’ is the evolution of mountain biking and mountain bike tourism: it’s mountain biking that makes a difference in the world - not just in our customers minds’ and hearts, but also in the communities where we ride.
