"\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Words by Brice Minnigh&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Photos by David Reddick and Anthony Smith&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Crankworx is indeed an exhilarating festival. But it is also an &lt;em&gt;exhausting&lt;\\/em&gt; one, especially for the haggard members of the Mountain Bike Press Corps. With so many contests and product launches to cover, we can scarcely find time to actually &lt;em&gt;ride&lt;\\/em&gt; bikes.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Just imagine our frustration. The entire &lt;em&gt;Bike&lt;\\/em&gt; staff has traveled all the way from Southern California, happily leaving behind our dry-and-dusty hometown trails, yet being unable to enjoy some of BC\\u2019s finest singletrack?&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Enough was enough. We could no longer spend our days simply &lt;em&gt;watching&lt;\\/em&gt; other people ride. It was time to rise up and revolt, to liberate ourselves from the fetters of global taurine domination. It was time to leave the Red Bollocks and the Big Green Monster behind. It was time to head to Squamish for a ride with some of our buddies.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;After making a few key phone calls to Matt Hunter, Wade Simmons and our friends at Anthill Films, our plans quickly fell into place. Together, we would introduce our inaugural \\u2018Taurine-Free Classic\\u2019 (known colloquially as the \\u2018TFC\\u2019).&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The rules for the TFC were simple. We would do things that we &lt;em&gt;never&lt;\\/em&gt; do at Crankworx.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;1.\\tWe would actually ride our own bikes on sweet singletrack.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n2.\\tWe would drink &lt;em&gt;water&lt;\\/em&gt;.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n3.\\tWe would &lt;em&gt;not drink&lt;\\/em&gt; taurine-infused beverages.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n4.\\tWe would ride bikes with a maximum of six inches of travel.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n5.\\tWe would climb as well as descend.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n6.\\tWe would wear half helmets so that we could breathe.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n7.\\tWe would not wait in lift lines.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n8.\\tWe would use the words \\u2018bro,\\u2019 \\u2018brah\\u2019 and \\u2018broseph\\u2019 sparingly, if at all.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n9.\\tWe would ridicule each other mercilessly, as all good friends should do.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n10.\\tWe would end the ride with a generous selection of British Columbia\\u2019s finest beer.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The turnout for the first-ever TFC was phenomenal, with arguably too many people for a smooth ride, yet the day transpired without a single mechanical or crash of significance. The six members of our own staff were joined by Hunter, Simmons, photographer Dan Barham and three people from Anthill Films: Ian Dunn, filmer Darcy Wittenburg and their production assistant, Diana Brucculieri.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Some sacrifices were made to attend.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Simmons\\u2019 wife, Lisa, was due to have their second baby at any moment, yet granted the Godfather a multi-hour trail pass.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Hunter had just finished a strenuous pre-dawn ride with the likes of Thomas Vanderham, Kenny Smith and Adam Billinghurst, yet somehow managed to stave off the need for sleep just long enough to finish the TFC.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Until next year, here are some highlights from our debut TFC:&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;figure id=\\\"attachment_71223\\\" style=\\\"width: 630px\\\" class=\\\"wp-caption alignnone\\\"&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.bikemag.com\\/wp-content\\/blogs.dir\\/3\\/files\\/2013\\/08\\/Squamishness-GALL-7253.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.bikemag.com\\/wp-content\\/blogs.dir\\/3\\/files\\/2013\\/08\\/Squamishness-GALL-7253.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Fresh from their recent Afghanistan expedition, Matt Hunter and Brice Minnigh reminisce about their shared love for yaks during the drive to Squamish.
