That must have been an awesome trip Nick. I took my Patrol to Canada earlier this year. Rode non-stop for 2 weeks and covered Kicking Horse, Silver Star, Whistler, Coast Gravity and Fernie - down some of the gnarliest trails I'll probably ever see, and the bike handled everything with absolutely no problems. The Patrol is by far the most versatile and capable bike I've ever owned and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a "one bike" solution.
