Sun, 23 Jan 2022 19:15:48 +0000

The horse flies are bad on Frisby, but not as bad as the descending traffic if you hit it at the wrong time. I don't think that's the right spot to set a new speed record. There are a couple of good reasons why there isn't an alternative, but a descent trail would be great to take some heat off the main trail.

Ride Planning and Tales • Greater Vancouver Group/Night Rides?

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 00:28:21 +0000

Hi All,

Does anyone know of any bike shops or groups in the Metro Vancouver/Greater Vancouver area that do a regular night ride that can accommodate drop-ins every now and again? If you do, can you post any info you have here and then I can look into it further.

Between work, family, and other commitments it's proving difficult to find an evening when my usual riding buddies and I have the same nights available (and still have the energy/will) to ride.

If there was a weekly ride that happened every Tuesday (or whatever) after work from a particular shop/trail head it would make it somewhat easier to mark it on the calendar and plan for it.

About me:

Been riding since early 2000's

My bike: Commencal Meta Power (I have a tow strap for anyone needing a pull)
Generally ride evenings or weekends

Just want to follow up and say thanks to everybody for the great advice!

We're staying in Roberts Creek and it's been fantastic! Trails are amazing, beach is awesome, quiet laid-back vibe, basically perfect in every way. My only regret is that Coast Gravity is closed and won't open until after we leave - oh well, we'll have to come back another time. The local trails have been more than enough to keep me entertained anyways...

You guys are right, we don't want to leave haha. If only I could convince my boss to let me work-from-home indefinitely. Plus a huge raise - cost of living out here is insane, especially when compared to Calgary (although that's probably a discussion for a different thread).

Cheers!

Ride Planning and Tales • Trailforks moving to a subscription model

Sun, 30 Aug 2020 16:17:46 +0000

Posted by: Kieran

I think that's why they set it at that size :)

I just don't like paying for something that I wouldn't honestly use that much, having kids limits my day trips anyway, so a pay-by-use option would work better for me.

For sure, but I would guess that most areas don't share the same concentration of trails as the S2S corridor so they probably figured that a 60km² would be all that most riders need. I think a pay to play option would be a good feature, the question is whether that nets them a higher or lower income stream than subscription only. With the site up and running long enough they've probably analyzed usage to determine what's going to be the most profitable payment system. It's the same for most businesses really, there's a sweet point at where you make the most net profit. It's a balance of finding the highest price that people will pay that also allows you to retain the right number of customers. A business is probably willing to lose a small percentage of customers to increase their overall profitability by charging a slightly higher fee. Like a few people have mentioned already, when you have a $6k bike, paying $2/month for unlimited access to trail info anywhere, anytime, is pretty damn cheap. Personally I find it funny how cheap we can be over certain things considering the overall cost of participating in this activity. It's the same mindset that keeps people from paying $50/yr to be a member of their local trail association.

I will travel long distances for a riding area with a great climb. It's most of the reason Vedder is worthwhile.

Burns Lake is only a couple of hours west of PG; the Kager Lake system is awesome and Razorback is another great climb and not hard to make a 40k epic ride there with Pigasus and a few others. Camping right at the base of the trail system.

Ride Planning and Tales • BC Family Vacation

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 15:03:01 +0000

If you're coming all that way with wife and kid in tow, I would have two stops: Vancouver where the family will have tons to do and you will have all the riding you want to fit in on the SHore, and Whistler.

I think that you'll regret if you opt for cheaper/off the beaten path locations. You're coming out with USD - have a great time!

Vancouver is a great city. Whistler is an epic mountain resort area. Make sure you see them both. You can rent a DH bike for Whistler one day if you want (seems nuts not to try the park for a day if you are close), and you can ride local trails as well.

You will never want to go home but Ill warn you, the hills will hurt. You dont have hills like these out east.

Ride Planning and Tales • crazy valley adventure???

Sat, 12 Oct 2019 07:30:42 +0000

I haven't done it but I am interested. There aren't really any recent trip reports for Mercer out there, but it seems the road is in rough shape in spots. The Mercer trail head uses an old FSR to get up to the alpine and most of it is not in the trees, so the views are good on the way up and would be spectacular on the ridge. There's also the option of going out to the peak of Mercer instead of skipping it and heading straight to Thurston once the ridge is gained. I'm thinking it would be better to do it east to west as the descent down from Elk to the parking lot is definitely fun in places. Bombing down an FSR doesn't appeal to me that much even if the climb/push up is harder. However, starting at the west end (Elk) means starting the climb at 620m and going up to 1400m before things flatten out vs the east end (Mercer) which means starting at about 300m and going up to 1550m. Either way it's a grunt and a big day and for a more local comparison doing something like Full Pull from the rec centre in Port Moody should definitely be in one's wheelhouse before attempting something like this. It's probably not gonna happen for this year but is something I'd be keen to look at next year.

Wed, 30 May 2018 19:47:20 +0000

Kind of off topic, but relevant to the last few posts: October 1st was supposed to be the start date for Joyride Bike Parks pump track expansion at Vanier. The City has hired a contractor and they are ready to start Monday (outside of the migratory bird nesting season).

A few local "eagle enthusiast" NIMBYs have caused yet another delay (this time may be the end) of the construction due to the "possibility" that the eagles may re-nest in the bike park.

The original project proposal addressed all these concerns: removal of invasive species, planting of native species, retention of ALL existing healthy trees, and scheduling to avoid the migratory bird nesting season.

PLEASE email support to tiina.mack@vancouver.ca, malcolm.bromley@vancouver.ca, pbcommissioners@vancouver.ca and vancouverdirtjumps@gmail.com about why you think a pump track should be built. Even just a few sentences! We really need your help on this right away! Thanks!

Thu, 19 Jul 2018 20:30:23 +0000

Hartland can be really fun. There is some great tech stuff. If you have a couple of hours here is your loop:

up regional trail north, down trillium for a warm up -> up sidewinder to Northridge -> Jelly roll and then up breathless (yes it will make you this and not because of the view) -> huge ribbon (baller trail!) -> left on southridge and down hot cherry (double blacks were OK on a fully rigid hardtail) -> fire drill to little face and down small craft warning to inventive to mother hucker and out.

If you don't have as much time climb switchback for bragging rights and go across dave's line (another classic) then take some of the double blacks back to the car.

There is another area in Victoria called partridge hills which is fun but I see that the trails were taken down off of trailforks which makes it hard to navigate this rat's nest. I think Oak bay bikes has a weekly group ride here - you could try calling them.

Finally, take a day and go to duncan and do maple syrup on maple mountain. Best 2 hours you will spend on your bike in a long time.

Have fun!

Mon, 04 Jun 2018 22:27:21 +0000

2.6 DHF/Rekons extremely light rider $105lbs$ on 160mm travel MTB $Pivot Mach 6$

Just mounted these brand new tires on DT Swiss 1700 30mm $internal$ for my wife $coming from 2.3 Highroller IIs which we ran at 21f / 24r$ and we are struggling to reduce the amount of BOUNCE she is experiencing over every root / rock / feature. We started at 18f / 20r and have dropped to 15f / 16r and the extreme bouncing is still apparent. I suspect that either going up into the mid twenties $to harden them back up$ or even lower to the low teens might be the cure - but wondering if anyone else has any experience / input how to tune these relatively high volume tires to a very light rider. As for her riding style / level, she rides the intermediate group locally. Thanks in advance :\)

PS. Reason for swapping out was better roll-over, slightly better pedaling ease etc. of which they are an improvement.

Ride Planning and Tales • Phoenix Bike House - Good Idea?

Tue, 13 Mar 2018 22:18:46 +0000

I've run the numbers, but I'm going to abandon the mountain bike vacation idea and just go with a typical vacation rental in Scottsdale as was my original plan. The mountain bike idea is pretty niche in the grand scheme of things, plus there's a lot more maintenance considerations with a detached home.

Both style of properties would be right around $200k (3BR/2BA pool house near SoMo vs 1100sf 2BR/2BA Scottsdale townhouse). Prices are still way up from the bottom as you mentioned, but they are still free compared to BC. Arizona has a lot of protection for nightly rentals (as long as there aren't grandfathered restrictions in HOA CC&R's), whereas most areas it's a grey area at best.

All of the money is made January-April with most rentals near full capacity. I'd head down and use it myself for May and Oct/Nov when it's miserable up here.

Managing it remotely really comes down to having reliable cleaners (and backups). I had a Whistler AirBnb unit until last year and had no trouble managing that while away. I managed all check-ins through a Kaba digital lock and never had issues beyond hairdryers throwing breakers and a couple broken glasses.

I tried looking into the area surrounding Eureka, but it does look like a longer/more expensive trip (as you need to fly to SFO first) and I couldn't find much on Trailforks (although I realize that can miss a lot). Real estate is also 50-100% more expensive and the weather isn't great this time of year (raining/high of 10 vs sunny/high of 23 today).

We did a road trip down the coast to San Diego last October/November and the Redwood was certainly a cool area.

Depends what you are looking to ride. If you're looking for flowy jump lines, ride to towers at the top, then Evo->U-Line->Atomic Dog (a little chunkier than the preceding two)

If you want something slightly more technical and a little pedalier, go almost to the top, take the road to the right just before the last steep climb to the towers and ride Whoopsie Woodle->Lair of the Bear (good mildly techy by NS standards trail benched into the side of a canyon).

Another good option starting from the towers is the now flowier Scorpion->Das Autobahn.

Prison Love is a sore point to me. It used to be one of my south-side favourites--super tight with these crazy janky sharp 90 degree corners with lurking stumps if you overshot. If my buddies were riding U-line, I'd always do PL instead. Then a couple years back it dropped the soap in the shower and the lippy jump fairies had their way with it. Now it's more like a U-line lite.

Another option after Das Autobahn that a lot of people like is Irish Death, but it's totally fall line and my experience is that it's a greasy peanut-butter slide-fest in the winter.

Ride Planning and Tales • Anybody been to Japan to ride? Recommendations?

Thu, 14 Sep 2017 17:23:22 +0000

I rode there in in 2000/2001. All in Hokkaido.

Ultimately, the mountains and foliage aren't well suited for riding. Add in that with a massive population for the size of the island anything that's reasonable is likely a hiker's highway on the weekends. What's packed on the weekend can by busy with old people mid-week.

I'd say that without good local guides you'll have a tough time.

Ride Planning and Tales • MTBNB – The Mountain Bike Explorers Web App

Tue, 11 Jul 2017 09:41:57 +0000

Hi guys! I am Sebastien, mountain bike enthusiast for more than 10 years now. A year ago, while preparing my next MTB trip I noticed how painful it is to find riding buddies and checking bike friendly accommodation. That’s why with Jonathan my best riding mate we are developing an online platform to solve that (the Airbnb for Mountain Bikers!). Wherever you want to ride, our web app will help you to connect with local communities to experience authentic MTB experiences. I have created this post to share this project with other mountain bike addicts. So, feel free to tell us what you think about it.

Here is our introductory video => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxUziG99hGA

The first version of our web application will be released during the month. Stay tuned!

Ride Planning and Tales • Cappadocia Tour June 10-17th. Looking for people to join our crew!

Wed, 12 Apr 2017 05:10:09 +0000

Hey Everyone,

June 10th - 17th I have picked a custom tour through my friends at bikinginturkey.com with less XC riding than the regular singletrack tour they offer.

Our tour will be a mix of Enduro and freeriding. There will still be climbs, but they will also be running shuttles to give us tons of runs each day. Explore beyond the usual zones and venture off into more unique freeride zones. This trip will be a very unique experience they are hooking us up with. 130-150mm trail bike recommended.

It should be a great time, Cappadocia looks insanely awesome with all the cool formations!

We only have to pay the regular tour price and we get all these added bonuses. A group of 8 is required to make this trip happen so I'm trying to round up as many people as possible. It would be great to have some local shore riders join our group.

More detailed information and pricing here: markymath.com/cappadocia

Sun, 18 Sep 2016 17:42:11 +0000

If you like jumps U-Line, Atomic Dog, Pump Track, are all fun. The laps are short and its worth hitting them a couple of times to get to know it. There are some pretty gnarly gaps. Irish Death is probably my fav out there.
I would do something like this. Park at Birch, climb ridge to the top and ride evo, Irish Death, Atomic Dog. Climb three pigs. Happy Hour, Oly. Climb 187, and hit SST to Orient Express. Can throw in ULine and others off that road if you feel like more.

Ride Planning and Tales • Merritt

Wed, 07 Sep 2016 22:06:43 +0000

So did 2 days in Merritt.

Day one: Climbed up "Too Much Info" to the top, then rode "Godey Traverse" to the "Fox Farm Road" to the top of "Berms". This was a bit of a slog, Was hurting a bit because I did a big ride the day before in Naramata.
"Berms" Decent to "Godey Creek" Decent. Good lap 3 hours

Day 2: Shuttled up the back of Iron Mountain. Rode "99" and "Treats" These trails were way tougher at the top than expected. Super impressed with the different types of terrain on the way down. Then connected and finished with "3 Shot Willow" and "Godey Steeps." A good lap for sure.
Only did the one shuttle due to sharp rocks on the drive up wasn't really the greatest situation for the tires on my car so didn't want to push my luck.
So back to the Info Centre for climb number 2. Ripped up and did the "Ridge" Trail.
A great lap.

Merritt has all different types of terrain. Rock Features, Loamy rippers, fast single track. Chunder and man made features. Over the two days didn't see hardly anyone which was strange because it was perfect riding weather.
Two thumbs up, will be back.

Ride Planning and Tales • Planning MTB Rides in Southern France

Sun, 08 May 2016 04:54:50 +0000

Between Avignon and the Luberon there's the "Colorado Provençal" near Apt, you want to get a ride in there for the scenery. Some marked loops, but none of them all that exciting, IIRC. The terrain between Apt and the Luberon is great for trailriding (and there is some tech stuff), but the good stuff is not so easy to find. Best to ride with a guide. Gaetan Dupin is a guide in the Apt/Luberon area, nice guy, could also give you the adresses of a few more guides. Google "gaetan dupin vtt".
I found some loops on the Luberon on the net (can't remember where), but only one had a good descent. I could look that one up on a map, if you're interested.
Between Avignon and Nice, you've got Digne-les-Bains. Never ridden there personally, but Bruno Chabalier who works as a guide there is a great guy and sure to show you the good stuff (brunochabalier.com).
About 100km west of Avignon you've got the Haut Luberon range. Try finding someone to guide you there by contacting Velo Caroux (http://velo-caroux.fr/en/group), they can also help you with accomodation and rent bikes. The two rides I did with them rank among the best in my life. Awesome trails in a rugged landscape with relatively few tourists.
Be warned: If you're alone, hiring a guide can be pretty expensive, as they now usually have a minimum price for an outing (which you could split as a group).
A bit east of Nice there's Finale Ligure in Italy. A must, apparently, everybody who's been there was blown away. Trails, guides, shuttles and rentals aplenty. Haven't been there myself yet.
There's plenty more good riding in that area, but that's the stuff I know.

Ride Planning and Tales • Finally rode Moab

Fri, 06 May 2016 16:36:19 +0000

Nice, hoping to get down there maybe next year to ride. How would you compare the difficulty of the trails to North Shore/Sea to Sky? I'm a single black diamond guy, some of the POV of stuff like Portal looks a bit intimidating mostly because of exposure/no fall zones.

It's about the same difficulty rating as here IMO. Riding the dh section of Ahab would be the same as riding executioner here. Rolls small drops, techy sections etc.
Everyone has their own comfort level. I was not comfortable on the Portal trail traverse and one small section on Ahab. Besides that it was all great. As I said there is no soft landings there, it's all stone. So going down would not be favorable.
It's like riding in bedrock city with the Flintstones.

I rode Galiano Mountain recently, up the trail that leads from Active Pass rd. Was fun but short. Challenging singletrack until we joined the doubletrack, fantastic view at the top. Hiked a bit of Bodega Ridge, it looks like a great option for bikey exploring.

I think it's all off limits technically, but I haven't come across anyone on Galiano (in general) that's not all smiles when you see them on the trails.

Which company did you do this with? What bike would have been your preference: AM or DH?

Hey didn't see this until now.

It was with Selkirk Tangiers.

I took my 5" Santa Cruz Blur TR but contemplated my DH bike. Either would be fine but I felt the smaller bike was suited to the terrain and speed. You aren't riding down an Aline type trail at mach stupid, its generally pretty narrow with varying degrees of technical difficulty. Nothing super steep or must do drops.

The guide and one guest were on DH bikes, myself and another on AM type bikes and we all were at the same speed for the most part. There was only one time I felt my bike was undergunned but I really blame that specific time on rider error.

Tue, 15 Sep 2015 01:45:21 +0000

Had a great trip there once upon a time. Such a beautiful place. Everywhere you turn looks like a postcard of the southwest.

Camped at an empty scenic campground along the Colorado River, right near the end of the Porcupine Rim trail.

First night a huge thunderstorm rolled in, the booming echoed for miles down the canyon. One of the more awe inspiring experiences I've had.

Next morning Porcupine Rim trail, epic fun. Cliffs are just mind boggling. Like being on the cartoon set of the Road Runner. Rode a bunch of other trails too during the trip.

Trails were a lot more mellow than I was hoping for, but such a gorgeous setting. Trail/ xc bike territory.

We went in cool Oct, used more than double the amount of water we normally do. Ran over a patch of the ubiquitous goat head thorns they have there, ended up with a whole galaxy of punctures from just one plant.

Have fun! Envious :)

Any recommendations? I'll need to rent a bike.

There's more trails now in the Cross country area - Mt Mac. Starbucks Revenge is amazing. Beautiful routing. Also lots more work in the Grey Mountain area. Go check CMBC website.

You can also get trailmaps from the CMBC.

Definitely go ride at Carcross if you can - that has even more trails. montana Mountain is going off for fall colours right now.

You can rent bikes via Boreale. You might be able to rent bikes via Icycle Sport but email them to check

Wed, 03 Jun 2015 19:13:07 +0000

I don't know where upper resurrection came from. It's called Heroic Doses. The bottom half is called lost boys from the quad trail/powerline down. Over all we just call it heroic. Rotary needs an exit built. Has for years. I haven't found the time. Otherwise it's a really fun, steep trail. Just have to hump your bike a bit at the bottom. I can't comment as to blow down status.

As an FYI we have a forest fire closing in towards the top of the info trails as of last night. It's a ways off right now and generally the prevailing winds blow away from it but it was moving uphill in a south westerly direction last night.

It was probably some douche bag that threw a butt out the window on the old Hamilton hill road that parallels the coq connector.

Ride Planning and Tales • What Bike For......Bella Coola?

Wed, 24 Jun 2015 15:24:45 +0000

Well…..for anyone interested….the perfect bike for Bella Coola would probably be a 'gravel bike', whatever the hell one of those is. Or just a cyclocross bike. You'd be kept entertained for weeks riding along the Highway 20, maybe head up 'The Hill', or explore the forest service roads. We did try and ride one MTB trail but there were trees down and the whole thing got a bit tedious so we aborted mission. Truck and legs ended up being our main transportation.

Lack of MTBing aside, it's an amazing part of the world :)

the Island isn't nearly as nice as you think. lots of problems and issues. certainly not half the employment opportunities as many other places. i'd cast my gaze back to Ontario if i were you.

Lol that's got to be a joke. Employment in ontario? You know I moved out here because the job market is MUCH better than Ontario right? And that I don't have to worry about "employment opportunity" on the island, because I'm not some leaf in the wind who moves before finding employment, the company I work for has an office in Victoria and I could certainly work there if an opening pops up.

Post Canyon is a good bet for a quick afternoon ride in Hood River. It's a network so you have lots of options.

Map here: https://hrats.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/pcmap100.jpg

A good loop starting from the seven streams area is to go up #100 through Family Man staging area and up 8 Track. Then come down through Bad Motor Scooter, GP, Spagetti factory and Mitchel Ridge. That would be about 2 hours.

Mon, 30 Mar 2015 23:58:03 +0000

Hi,

I initially posted here:
http://forums.clubtread.com/18-paddling-biking-other/54634-xc-mountain-biking-sw-bc.html#post602274
But i think that this forum is better suited.

I love mtn biking. I hope that i could get some new ideas here for next new XC rides.

There is an excellent book by Greg Maurer Mountain Bike Adventures in Southwest British Columbia - 50 Rides. I need ideas for more rides of similar style, where biking uphill is the major part of the adventure. Some examples: Elfin Lakes, Black Tusk towers, Brohm Ridge, Blowdown Pass etc. Basically, areas that could be bike-able uphill.

I have googled some possible trips:
- Tenquille Lake
- Tween Lakes - Melvin Divide.

I would love to get more ideas / inspirations. Ideally an alpine settings as the destination :)

Wed, 12 Sep 2012 04:22:50 +0000

It sounds like you have it planned out well, but if you find yourself out in Eastern washington, then the Kettle Crest trail area has some amazing riding. Abercrombie mountain, Taylor Ridge and Sherman Pass would be the highlights.

An old thread, but if anyone is heading out that way this summer, this is why InaCycle, Dalien [HTML_REMOVED] Biggles have gone back to ride it multiple times. There is a possibility that this area might become wilderness designated in the future which will outlaw mountain biking there. Evergreen Trail Alliance is working on it.

Agreed. Thats a massive day. Don't know if a complete loop is feasible for most mortals. What would you plan as routes between Burke and Eagle? Sawblade down to Coquitlam River trail then road to IMBY? I'd drop CBC. Big road climb to get to for not much fun down. BP to Dales for a MTB feel. Cypress I'd say climb to Slippery Canoe/Upper Tall Cans and carry on to the parking lot for Whyte Lake.

3. Pedal, push up Mt Highway, enjoy the scenery and life on the Shore.

4. Before you drop into a trail, drink first beer and have a sip of Whisky to feel all fuzzy and warm, and to congratulate yourself on something awesome for such a fat, old man.

5. Ride down trails, walking should be mandatory at times.

6. Coast to the seabus, have the second beer and be jolly.

Just get a dirt bike if you live in Logan lake. Trails ALL over the place, but they're not mtb friendly.

Or a rally car. I did the Heart of Darkness rally a couple of months ago. One of the stages was a loop past Logan Lake at about 4am. Super fun logging roads to drive everywhere. About a million ways to wreck your car. Note: If you're going to drive those roads fast then carry two spare tires. Ones not enough.

Also separated my shoulder and did some hip damage not long ago. The whole trip has been in limbo as I have progressed through some rehab.

I'm leaning toward KC on saturday, but it would have to end in a night ride. I absolutely love night riding, so I'm going to try and convince a local to have a go with us.

I think we are going to stay on the US side for the first night and make a push for seven summits in the AM.

Sean (i think that may be your name)

Boomforreal has it right in regards to camping. Smugglers cove is awesome… real west coast type camping.

In regards to trails, I would stay away from Roberts Creek and actually hit up West Sechelt. They have some more gradual trails that can be ridden in any direction. Look up Parbec/Brokebec/dropbac/duracell/4D/Skullduggery/easy street. area…

If you want, you CAN camp at Homesite Creek (near Smugglers Cove) its not on the water but it's beside a trail :) Just around Homesite Creek is a trail called "cabin trail". It takes you up and over to a logging road (trail called Deliverance) that would then connect to a logging road that leads to the West Sechelt trail network. trailmapps covers this area and is quite valuable when it comes to finding your way.

here's my favorite loop on mt geofrey from a few years ago (there are new trails, so its been modified since - go buy a new map you cheapskate ;)) basically a singletrack climb + "the way": start at the parking lot near the cemetery. up the right hand trail, left on colt's foot, keep right at the beula creek sign then hard right onto spasm chasm. climb spasm past milo's meadows, and take the left fork near the top (easy to miss, if you miss it no worries but the left fork is more climbable). left at the end of spasm chasm (don't know the name of this trail, yeoman's?) and right at the fire road. first left, then take the singletrack on your left (ozmosis), left on to hotrims, ride up to the intersection with the cliff trail then ride or push up the cliff trail (turn right) or descend a bit and ride up slalom (turn left). cliff trail past the look out, left on to devil's kitchen (gets steep), keep left at the weird junction (across the little valley) and then up purgatory, starts to pick up speed on the downhill (try the rock launch, you can roll it if you chicken out last minute) past the fsr on to bitchin camaro (steep with a few drops), right on to slick rock and then just near the bottom of the trail (before you end up on the nasty section of colt's foot) hard left on to a wide trail with a couple of awesome bermed corners.

Anyone willing to tour me around their local trails between now and the end of August?

I'm currently in a position where I can ride bikes anywhere anytime between now and then end of August. (Working a summer job that's contract dependent with no contracts coming in). I wouldn't mind exploring some of the great trails outside of the metrovancouver area before I move to Saskatchewan for the next job at the start of September.

Pemberton and either end of Vancouver Island are high on the hitlist as it's very likely I can source a place to stay in these 3 locations.

Willing to head anywhere as long as the riding to driving time is favorable to riding. I'm not opposed to sleeping in my car.

I have three bikes I can bring out (all-mountain/fr hardtail, all-mountain full-sus, dh bike). I'm competent on all of them and have good endurance.

Ride Planning and Tales • Three Blind Mice - Naramata

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:15:21 +0000

After another weekend in Penticton and an afternoon pedaling Three Blind Mice, another TR was definitely in order.
I had the entire Saturday to kill by myself as the better half was off to a baby shower. Luckily, she was kind enough to shuttle me up Arawana to the Corral entrance. As I was solo and didn't have to worry about getting people in over their heads (except for myself), I was FINALLY free to hit Drops-a-Lot. W-O-W! That trail was uber-fun and a great way to start the ride! Took this until I reached the double-track trail (Turnbull?) going up. I had committed myself to checking out the reservoir at the top so up I began….There were a couple of punchy climbs but nothing obscene but the trails were pretty dry and sandy in places making for some spinny-wheel action. Continued up the old Riddle Rd trail which was a complete chunder-fest (I later learned the best way to pedal up is via Sidewinder). The reservoir at the top was quite the reward! Nice a cool breeze and beautiful area all to myself!
After a bit of a break, I hit up a set of trails which Digital (Andrew) referenced in an earlier post…Rainbow Trail/High Pony/Bronco/Mosquito/Southern Dancer/roller-coaster, through TsweetTsu and out. If anyone is up there and looking for a FAST ride, those trails definitely fit the bill. Rainbow and High Pony have some great pedally "flat" sections leading into steep descents (love the Rainbow feature). All of the trails after Pony go DOWN!! Fast singletrack led me to check my speed more than once through some of the tight rocky sections! Had a too close encounter with a bear on Roller-Coaster but I got lucky and he ran the other way right as I came around the corner.
Overall, I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I know there are soooo many other options in the Okanagan but it's hard to beat 3+hrs of singletrack followed by a stop for a great glass of wine (Poplar Grove) on a perfect sunny weekend.

FYI - Lots of rattlers out including babies so keep your eyes peeled….

Ride Planning and Tales • Riding on Gabriola Island

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 07:53:24 +0000

There are a few trails off of North road in the tunnel area (707 exits there), but trail riding is limited.

I don't own a road bike but see lots of road riders around the Island. Easier to ride counter clockwise around the Island as you ride down Brickyard Hill. If you want more of a challenge then clockwise.

If you want to do loops around the Island, don't forget to stop off at the golf course for a pint.

Have fun

Doable on a 6x6. Most guys here are on big bikes. Some of the trails like 99 would be better on a 6x6. If you want my opinion, I would say go big. It's always fun to be able to let it all go :)

Ride Planning and Tales • Vancouver to Bend Oregon , ( and back hopefully)

Fri, 07 Mar 2014 05:27:43 +0000

This is a good resource: http://www.ormtb.com/index.html

I would do a counter-clockwise loop. Oakridge, Bend, then hit the Mackenzie River Trail on the way back home.

I actually don't know much about Oakridge except that I want to go back. I rode Alpine and it was a) awesome and b) too short (about 2h15 without rushing). There is a ton of stuff there for riding and there are folks in town keen to guide or shuttle.

I've seen Bend take a bit of slack on these boards but it is pretty nice riding, if not all that technically demanding. If you can embrace your inner-XC or flowrider then it'll be great. If you need to get rowdy, then maybe less so. Even with low snowpack, it might be too early in May to get up to the area around Flagline but that's a real highlight for me. You can do a loop from one of the sno-parks or last year we did a shuttle where we starting by climbing up Flagline and then rode back to Bend. It was good. Funner / Storm King is a sweet section that can be incorporated into a larger ride (we did it with a Tiddlywinks/Larsen loop to start). The Phil's network really close to town is nothing too special - think of it more as a transit. The further from town, the better it gets…

MacKenzie River Trail is pretty special and is a must-do. Although it is generally a shuttle and is a net descent, don't forget to bring your legs! It's definitely a pedal, and you may find yourself sprinting to go faster even though you are a long way from the end.

Ride Planning and Tales • Ride Tofino to Victoria

Fri, 21 Feb 2014 04:47:20 +0000

You'd be talking a water taxi, not a ferry, and would have to check for local services that provide service to where you want to go. It may actually be cheaper to ride Sutton Pass from Uculet to Port Alberni, than to boat it to Bamfield. However, Once in Bamfield, you have to navigate a considerable maze of logging roads to get to Renfrew. This is not easy, and if you haven't been back there, it can get pretty confusing. I wouldn't count on just "finding a way". Make sure your map is current. You pretty much have to go in to Port Alberni (from Bamfield) and then head towards Cowichan Lake. From there there is a new(er) paved road that heads to Renfrew (actually out of Mesachie Lake).

Be aware that there's a lot of logging traffic (I'm talking big trucks loaded with trees) on the dirt roads, and they absolutely are not looking out for people on bikes. That being said, it is doable, but the twistiness of the roads makes it a lot of KM. Nonetheless, I would suggest having several flashing red lights on, even middle of the day, because things that get hit by a logging truck tend to stay hit. Cell service is very spotty back there. Generally good up high, but sparse on the mainlines.

I will add, do not be tempted to try to cut by Cowichan by going Nitnat, McClure, Gordon River. This will not save you time, and will take you far from any potential aid. People have been lost back there. Also, when you get to Cowichan, you have the north and south side of the lake to choose from . I personally prefer the north. It is longer, but you get to through Youbou, there's fewer hills, you have a better chance of seeing Roosevelt Elk, you get more sun, and the pavement starts up a bit quicker. However, south side does take you by the Caycuse caves if you're in for a bit of spelunking.

You'll have a great time, but the higher trails will be snowed in. That's why I try and hit Sedona in the winter/spring and Moab in the fall so I can get up high.

Having said that there is lots to ride lower down. Enjoy. :woot:

It's a long nasty climb either by bike or by truck, gets progressively harder as you ascend. The filmed trail is short but cool. Lower down you can hook into the moto trails and ride back down to the valley, but it's quite a maze. That's a zone I never dialed in, the trails are pretty smashed.

Done the ride to Poland Lake too. There used to be a hiking trail that went from the lake down to the highway works yard at Alison Pass on the highway. Always thought that had potential to be a great ride. That trail was disappearing 20 years ago so I'm sure it would be a bushwhack now.

Border Patrol is rideable but probably isn't your best bet. THX is basically a slopestyle course. Larvicide is full on slab riding, pretty exposed, but fun if you're up for scaring yourself on an XC bike.

FYI - Marc, Boney, RWAV, Gouranga, VA, Icy, Penthouse, Rock are all more technical than Credit Line and Entrails.

Hello There.

I'm in Qualicum from Thursday Aug1 to Monday Aug5. I've ridden Cumberland once and loved it but have never ridden anywhere else on the Island. I'm bringing my trail bike and my dj bike but have no idea where to ride. Any suggestions? Please keep in mind I'm not a climber but will obviously do what is necessary before a descend :). And I'm bringing the dirt jumper in hopes of doing some pump track laps. Are there any pump tracks in Parksville or Qualicum? What about trails? Also, anyone riding Cumberland during those days?

So many questions. So little time.

Doumont:

http://www.island.net/~pmcgarri/Nanaimo.pdf

Current as of this week. The guidebook is a good starter. The only issue with it are the loop options, as they are missing a lot of the current good stuff, and not linking any trails as a climbing alternative to weigles rd. PM me if you are riding Doumont and I can give you a real nice moderate loop, all singletrack (20+km).

Steam shovel post ride is awesome.

Trail last August was dusty and loose. Lots of sharp edged rocks to tear their way through your tires.

Steam shovel pub is a great post ride beer and burger destination. They don't seem to mind stinky bikers eating and drinking there.

Mon, 17 May 2004 19:07:53 +0000

Old thread, but just got back from a long weekend trip with a big group.

Lots of fun riding down there:
Dog River, Surveyor's Ridge, Oak Ridge, Syncline [HTML_REMOVED] Whoopdee.

Good food, good beer [HTML_REMOVED] good coffee too.

The Tucker campground has gone downhill in the last 9 years though. It seems like no one is really taking care of it now. In 4 days only saw one person hosing out the cans. Paying for the sites seems to be on the honour system. Maybe county cut backs = no staff?

My wife wrote up a blog post with a bunch of photos from our trip, maybe some of this info in there is useful to others heading down:

Thu, 06 Jun 2013 11:53:28 +0000

Dear NSMB'ers,
My friends are planning pretty amazing MTB trip this year to taste some real trail-freeride in Indian Himalayas, Ladakh to be more specific. Main goal is to reach Chamser Kangri (6622 m/21726 ft.) summit and then descend it. If they succeed, it will probably be the world record in highest altitude mountain biking.

View on the Tso Moriri lake and Chamser Kangri, photo: Pawe? Goleman

If you are interested in details of this project and you would like to help those guys, visit http://igg.me/at/Ladakhfr/x/3368951 and donate them.

Check out their previous adventures on http://borntoroam.pl and http://g3riders.com. They are both in Polish but you can still take a look on photos. Previous international adventures included highest peaks in Sierra Nevada (Spain), volcanoes in Mexico, +6000 peaks in Andes (Chile), Mt. Toubkal in Marocco, fjords in Norway and Georgian Caucas.

I will surely post any new info and pics in near future.

Cheers,
Piotr

Here's the trail map: http://www.bmba.ca/gallery/v/trail_maps/trailmap2008.pdf

Start with the trails beside North Road (North Road Trail, Dead Moped). If you do ok, head up the mountain (you can ride up the Trans Canada Trail) and ride down Gear Jammer - Upper Cut - Lower Snake. Still doing ok, head up again (you can ride up Garlardi Way - Service Road - Sidewinder) and ride down Nicoles Trail.

Note: Sidewinder is a new trail and is not on the map. Its on your left half way up the Service Road. The ride up Trans Canada Trail and Sidewinder are fairly good grinds.

Ride Planning and Tales • Princeton Chugger - New Single track at China Ridge

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 16:54:39 +0000

Happy to report the Chugger is all in great shape - barring some deadfall.

Road up is long, but easy.

Parker is nice - there's been a few newer sections added since Lee [HTML_REMOVED] Sharon went (based on GPS variances) so there's more trail and a bit less road at the top.

The China Ridge Cabin is nice, as is the view.

Rail trail is sweet, long, bermy singletrack. Well worth doing. Watch out for the deadfall - there's quite a bit near the bottom.

The long trek back along the KVR is simple with most of the trail having firm dirt, with only about 2km of slightly loose gravel. Still able to maintain a reasonable speed. 3 or 4 trestles and 2 tunnels along the way. Take a light for the first curved tunnel, although it looks like there's a by-pass for the timid.

Aside from on the KVR, didn't see anyone else up there at all, and only one set of bike tracks that looked fairly fresh. KVR is an ATV freeway, but no problem.

43kms.

This might work - http://www.7stanesmountainbiking.com/Home some/all of them have bike hire. And remember and order a Heavy afterwards.

Thanks, I've had a few point me in this direction as well; good info.

And,… what's a HEAVY?

Hmm more research… is this it? (wiki)

While the shilling names were never pinned down to exact strength ranges, and Scottish brewers today produce beers under the shilling names in a variety of strengths, it was largely understood that:-
Light (60/-) was under 3.5% abv
Heavy (70/-) was between 3.5% and 4.0% abv
Export (80/-) was between 4.0% and 5.5% abv
Wee heavy (90/-) was over 6.0% abv
(/- is read as "shilling" or "bob" as in "a pint of eighty-bob, please")
The wee heavy has become the standard Scottish-style brew in the United States, and many brewers are now using peated malts in the recipes. This, however, is ahistorical.[6]

Jasper riders and the park reached a gentleman's agreement. Mountain Biking is technically "back in the Parks" and in Jasper this means there are more trails than before, but they aren't officially signed.

I haven't ridden GP for years but there were trails north of town at the XC ski area. More recently they've got a BMX track on the north side and the local ski hill was running summer lifts for bikes.

Like anything non mainstream in that town you'll have to ask around and make friends to get your riding in.

Yes, UBC works okay for night riding, but can be quite busy during a nice day. That and riding the trails that have a nice high center dome it's all that great.

Walkers, tend to get all pissy about having to move from walking 3 or 4 abreast to let a cyclist by. It's too bad the small inside trails in UBC weren't left for riders to use.

I guess it's either the shore or watershed if I want to take the kids out anywhere close.

Ride Planning and Tales • Flying with your bike

Fri, 30 Nov 2012 02:01:22 +0000

TD home insurance covers you if your bike gets stolen while away. This happened to my neighbour while she was in Poland. This coverage is also good for renters. RE: damage, as above.

As for advice, show up extra early. While at the airport, go to the customs office and have them register your bike. I have been hassled before on my way back into the country as they wanted me to prove that my bike was not bought overseas and imported to Canada. All they do is take the make-model and serial number.

Bubble/foam wrap stanctions and any hard bits that may rub. If you are bringing a big bike be weary of weight limitations. Otherwise, fill that box up with riding gear, clothes, gifts etc since you pay a flat rate for the box while it is within the weight limit for a bike. If your bike has a drop-out hanger that is replaceable, get one, since everything else you can replace at a LBS easily, e.g. brake cables, dérailleurs etc.

have a good trip.

Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:05:35 +0000

Whilst its true that there is nothing technically challenging there, it's great fun. Having ridden in Squamish, whistler, nelson and also the Italian alps, I'm not surprised that it didn't offer you Canadians a challenge especially if you just limped down it. The problem is that here in the uk, authorities are very risk averse and so these trails must be ridable by every and anybody because there are so few. We simply don't have the space to go out trail building wherever we want, it just gets bulldozed as there WILL be conflict with dog walkers and the militant ramblers. We also have no trail advocacy group to speak for us.
So, we gets what we gets, and for all of its faults, Afan/glyncorrwg is massive fun if ridden fast enough.

Reads like my car with low clearance might not be able to make it up the FSR to the Frisby Ridge parking area.

And looking to do Martha / Sale as well.

Frisby has been pretty smooth lately.

The last part of Sale Mtn FSR up to the tower was pretty haggard the last two times we went up. Super bony and sharp/jagged/chunky if you were driving it in a car. BUT a guy could just hike a bike up that last section, it's not too far.

Maybe try the Frisby DH trail too? It's awesome.

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 18:58:24 +0000

We just got back from a two week road trip.

Golden for Kicking Horse Resort [HTML_REMOVED] Mount 7

Fernie for the bike park and some local rides. Stay at the Provincial Park just outside of town and go shower at the aquatic center. ($2.50 after 7pm) In town we stayed at the Red Tree Lodge - nice and clean with kitchen facilities, free laundry (bring your own detergent) and a home theatre room downstairs.
The bike park is nice and mixed, but best is to be there on a weekend when the upper chair is open for some longer rides.

Rossland - Sweetfield shuttles do some rides like the Dewdney and pickups at Warfield. Mon-Friday only. There is camping at the Lions Campground just behind the Rossland Motel. We stayed at the Red Door In for $75 a night and it was comfortable.

New Denver - An epic dh ride with amazing views. Rob @ Wilds of Canada will get you all the details on the rides along with trail maps. Camping either in the Silverton or New Denver campgrounds or just up the road at Rosebury Provincial Park was nice and quiet.

6000' descent to the bottom of myra-bellevue provincial park.

Your link to the MTBCO site shows the Little White trail starting at approx 2160m contour and finishing at a service road at the 1220m contour. Does the rest of the trail stick to the service road or is there more singletrack below the FSR (maybe a different trail name?)…the park certainly extends below that FSR…

I'm just trying to quantify the 6000 foot descent…

My "after work" loop is up BLT to Upper Tall Cans, Single Lane Traffic or Wutang (? by accident) to the end of Roach Hit. Nothing scary except one rock roll I haven't done and a few drops I ride around (weeny kahunas). If I have more time I have ridden up to Slippery Canoe and even Blind Skier, but missed SGS and ended up on Shore Play- which was too much for me. Maybe another time and/or another bike. Although if I have time for that loop I tend to drive to Fromme.

This particular loop is under snow most of the year, requires some turns to access, and has a legendary hike-a-bike. So, it doesnt get ridden a ton. I was solo on a hot day in August and saw two other small groups.

not really any riding in Harrison itself, unless some has been built since I grew up there. I lived there for 11 years when I was young and we used to make some little trails but nothing to speek of and I'm sure they're all gone.

There is one XC trail that is fairly long, it runs the entire length of the town north to south along the eastern edge hugging the mountain side. its not super easy to find, there is various spots you can enter it like at the end of liloet or echo ave. But its probably overgrown in many spots, its not used much. I went back and rode this trail in 2008 for nostalgia, used to ride it with honda 80cc dirtbikes and shitty mtn bikes. But many spots in the south part were overgrown like this https://picasaweb.google.com/111624064560626023078/BCRoadTrip200808#5410132227716763074

There is a bit of easy flat trails up around Hicks lake.

20 years ago there used to be a bit of single track trails on Bear Mountain along highway 7 near Agassiz http://goo.gl/maps/RrDA we used to ride as kids.

Sun, 13 May 2012 18:23:44 +0000

I would like to see a cross-BC route, along the lines of the Great Divide/Tour Devide route
the problem is for the more remote areas with lots of single-track, or higher altitude double track is resupplying food
also, logging roads that might currently be usable may not be in the future

Ride Planning and Tales • When you've had enough of the rain, drive 2000km south

Tue, 08 May 2012 03:44:15 +0000

Craig and I do the same thing when we've had enough of the rain, i.e. drive south. We just don't have as much "play" time as some do ;)

PS. Looks like we've got more new trails to ride for the next Fruita trip.

Yes. PBR at 18 rd was a fun new lap we did this year. rode Pipedream, but I think we started on the wrong side. It wasn't my favorite.

so with a crazy busy work schedule the past 3 months the opportunity to set up some training time for this has been next to zero. right now it looks like this will have to happen late june or maybe even sept for the cooler temps.

i'm going to be doing training rides 3x/week, dawn patrols on tue/thur and a bigger ride on sat. this coming week dawn patrols will be on burke and sat's ride will be multiple laps on sfu. i really like sfu for the some of the tech climbing it offers compared to some of the other hills.

Ride Planning and Tales • Looking for People to ride with

Fri, 13 Apr 2012 19:28:18 +0000

Hello kids,

Me: I'm 28, dude, live downtown and used to be a pretty dedicated biker, but took a 5-year brake. Now I've picked up a new bike (Entourage) and am getting back into the saddle. My favorite trails are almost all on the sunshine coast, but I'll ride most anything.

What I'm looking for: People who enjoy riding and are chill people. 420 friendly, no ego, no snobbery. I'm looking people in similar skill level/mindset:

you like flow
When you ride whistler you'd be happy looping freight train-dirt merch-a-line and not much else
You don't mind walking up hills (or driving, I have no wheels though)
You're not in epic shape (while I like to go fast, I can't hammer non-stop my whole way down a mountain)
You like drops, but don't feel like you have to hit 30x30 gappers

Basicaly: I can ride, the bc place stair gap is peanuts, but I'm not looking to star in any films, I just want to have fun and not get hurt.

I'd really love some other chill people who like to ride, urban, shore, whistler, coast… I'm down.

Let me know if you're looking for someone like me

-Atari

hey dude, I'm in the same boat as you, got out of biking for years and want to get back in. Just moved to the shore and am looking for peeps to ride with. My skill level is prob a bit lower than yours but would definatly be up for some riding (mostly dh)I've been wanting to check out the shore trails on Fromme.

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 14:55:46 +0000

I haven't ridden there yet (will do in April), but my internet research showed plenty of guided tours. Check out the sites below, those are the ones I bookmarked (there are more, but weren't in an area I was interested in visiting), it will give you some idea. I'll be riding with the first of the XC/AM etc guides mentioned, so PM me by mid-april if you want more info on them (I'm not logged in very often, though).
Mostly XC/AM/Enduro:

http://www.sierracycling.com/holiday.html
http://www.ridesierranevada.com
http://www.bikingandalucia.com/
http://www.almeriabiketours.com/index_en.html
More freeride-oriented:
http://switch-backs.com/
http://www.freeridespain.com/
All my friends who rode down there (with the last of the XC/AM guides mentioned, I think) liked it very much.
Also stumbled upon this, no idea what it's worth:
http://bikemagic.com/gear/bike-reviews/the-trailrider-guide-to-spain.html
Also, if you're there, do go to Granada. Not just for the Alhambra, it has plenty more to offer. Have fun.

So what would Xcellerator compare to on Fromme/Seymour?

sticks and stones x 5 for cardio and xc-trials style difficulty, with some cunt buster-esque steep chutes ("death chute" is quite apt gary, i've only nailed it once and i'm always thinking "bail to the right, bail to the right!" when i drop in) except smooth and marble-y rather than chunder. but the exposure is probably the real killer, and there are no switchbacks that i can think of on the shore that have the "make it or else!" quality of some of what you'll find on xcelleator. i used to think it was just over my head, but i've heard people call it essentially unrideable… either way, a lot of fun

Sat, 30 Apr 2011 04:34:17 +0000

2 years ago:

Day.1 ~ Lorna to Deer then up to Spruce… Long Day, but worth it. If you actually want to see where you are, I would not suggest more in a day. Trigger [HTML_REMOVED] Hummingbird are great stops, no need to make them a blur.

Day.2 ~ Spruce to Windy through Eldorado to Lick [HTML_REMOVED] home to Tyax. Great day, prolly my best day of riding ever, and Lick is so fun you are going to want to have some energy to appreciate it.

I realize there is an overnite component you were not looking for, but if you pull the above all in one day - IMO it would certainly be epic, and only 1/2 the point of going up there.

Hoping to hit Lorna [HTML_REMOVED] up to the Graveyards next weekend… Always out through Spruce/Windy/Eldorado/Lick.

Ride Planning and Tales • Anyone riding Squamish in the near future?

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 18:51:10 +0000

Hey guys, I've finally got myself out to Whistler and whilst I'm gonna spend a lot of time in the bike park, it'd also be great to get down to Squamish as I've heard how good it is. Not sure what all the trails there are like, but have seen some vids of Half Nelson on youtube and it looks awesome!

So if anyone is riding Squamish in the next few weeks and fancies guiding someone around all the best bits, let me know! I don't have a car so would need a lift, but happy to chip in for fuel.

Ride Planning and Tales • Kiwi lad looking to hook up with some Vancouver locals

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 21:43:16 +0000

I am a 28 year old Kiwi lad that has just made the move from Auckland, New Zealand to Vancouver and am looking to hook up with some local riders who can show me some trails, share some shuttling duties/driving to get to the trails, and because riding on your own is kinda stink.

I spent 5 weeks over here last year with a few other Kiwi lads and we rode a bit of the Shore, Whistler, Pemberton, Kamloops, and a couple of the other parks (Kicking Horse, Sun Peaks, Silverstar), so I got a good taste of things. I liked it so much I decided to come back over here to live.

I guess I am a freeride/all mountain kind of guy. I ride a Transition Blindside, and am pretty comfortable with most drops/gaps/whatever (provided they are not enourmous). I don't mind riding up hill if I have to and the trails are worth it, but prefer shuttling/lifts. I haven't got a vehicle yet, but should have that sorted in the next couple of weeks.

If you have room for one more in your riding crew I would love to tag along.

I am out of action for the next week or so after a minor biff up at Whistler on the weekend leaving me with 5 stitches in my hand, but will be well keen to get back into it late next week.

Cheers!

I will be in Vancouver for a business trip and some additional days of from Saturday (6th) till Tuesday (16.). I will take my bike with me and I am now looking for someone who is willing to show me some of the fabulous north shore trails around Vancouver.
Is it easy to get to the trail around Vancouver (even without a car)?
And which trails would you recommend (freeride/singletrails)?

new trails looks AWESOME except for all the damage that horse did. bloody hell :mad:

where does it spit you out?

Ive heard there may or may not be a trail down to the Langdale

oh gee thanks

Think he is working in the loops but worth asking. He worked at wild ways for years as well. All the trails were rolling last year with a bit of new work even so should be good to go.

Agreed with you, Justin is good guide. Met him at his parents campground and he showed us some real good trails. He's now living in Kelowna though

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:01:00 +0000

they are indeed dh trails, but big bikes aren't much fun to climb, so the answer is to harden the fuck up.
on a 6" bike they're fun, but you'll take forever to climb it unless you're super fit.
on a smaller bike the climb is pleasant, but you'll need some skillz for the descent.
that's pemby in a nutshell.

if its too hard you can always just go to squamish.

windy canyon is the lower half of 'the burn' it can be accessed by driving up lily lake road to 'gangbang' and heading right, up the hill to the height of land… there is a cell tower @ the top and a decent road… (kids from town shuttle it in cars)…. look to the right when you get to the top and drop in….. the trail goes thru a burn and a tight canyon so its hard to keep the trails here clear ALL the time with the strong winds we recieve here….. it is currently in mint condition… we finally built a fence-over berm bridge to flow over the fence halfway down and its flowing really well…. the canyon portion gets beat by dirtbikers, hikers, and vagrants…. its a very quick (7.5/8 min's) trail that we usually ride spring/fall when we're waiting for iron to open (or get snow in the fall )…. its good to go right now…. maybe a few whips from the rampant bushes/weeds this wet summer, but all in all, its a favorite in the valley, as its rideable for 9 months a year..

On my stag, we each got a 3 run pass and bikes and did three passes of CIU. Got one guy hooked instantly and another fell as a result later. The whole place is a gateway drug. Bike companies should subsidize the whole thing to sell rigs down the road (I guess that's what all the advertising is about…).

If she's new, park your vehicle at North Road/Chapman, ride up the powerlines, then down North Rd. If that goes well take her up Trans Canada, up Cardiac, down Upper Gear Jammer to Mels, then left on Mel's back to Trans Canada. Finish with Dead Moped and North Road back to the car.

My GF just started riding last season and this is the exact loops we did. She is now much improved and can hit Lower Gearjammer/Uppercut/Lower Snake as well as Nicole's, but I'm glad I didn't start her on those trails.

Ride Planning and Tales • Chilcotin advice/gear

Thu, 09 Jun 2011 01:37:53 +0000

You don't need the big bike to ride up there. Ride what you would ride for Squamish or Whistler non park trails. Definately bring boot material just incase. Spare hydro fittings, a few chain links and standard tools would be advised. You're way out in the middle of no where as far as support goes. So if you ride sensible, it will be a beautiful trip.

We spent 3 days up there two years back, I would start the day from Tyax with full Camelback and two bottles on the bike. Rode from Tyax to Tayler Pass, Windy Pass, short stop at Spruce Lake and back to Tyax on day. We needed a few water stops. The creeks had a bit of silt but we figured if they were running a little bit fast our chances of picking up any thing naste was slim. All was ok. And there are plenty of run off creeks.

Ride Planning and Tales • Mackay Creek to Fromme

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:45:15 +0000

This weekend I am planning on riding from my house at the bottom of Mackay Creek park up to the 6th switchback on Fromme. My planned route is going to avoid pavement wherever possible. I am hoping to go up Mackay Creek over Mosquito up to PowerLines to Braemar (pavement) then climb up Dempsey/Braemar to BP to gate. Then if there is any gas left in my tank, I'm going to climb up to the 6th and ride Executioner back down to the bottom and head back down Mosquito creek trails back home.
(PS I'm riding on a Spitfire with a dropper post)

I'm taking my data from the GeoWeb map on the DNV site (http://www.geoweb.dnv.org/maps) and it looks feasible with the trails they have mapped.

Without divulging any secret information, are there any better routes to take?
Has anyone attempted this and have experiences/routes/fails to share?
Am I high?
Should I bring beer?

Did you do this? If so, let's compare notes as I've tried this several times from the bottom of Mosquito Creek. Actually, I've given up trying as it's too bloody hard!! Whichever route I've taken results in plenty of pushing.

From where Montroyal Blvd crosses Mosquito Creek, the trail becomes totally impractical with a bike. I've grunted up Skyline Drive to pick up the Baden Powell (same as Mike's description…)and then headed east but the BP is not rideable by mere mortals in this direction - too many climbing steps. The other alternative is to pick up the Powerline trail at the top of Prospect Road but this is another push (though relatively short). You can also pick up the Powerline Trail by heading east on Rondoval Cres and then cutting through the woods. Again, a bit of a push.

From here, I've tried the St Georges trail (more pushing) though this does at least get you to Dreamweaver and this can be ridden west/up.

The other alternative is to use the St Marys trail - this is a relatively shallow climbing trail so, in theory, would make a good climb BUT it's full of baby heads - so guess what…more pushing.

Once on the eastern part of the Baden Powell (basically east of the high point) there are various old singletrack trails and skidder roads. The most promising cuts westwards from near the bottom of Espresso thru Grannies and Pink Starfish. Follow your nose up and you'll eventually hit Exceutioner just below the entrance off Mountain Highway but even this I pushed way more than 50% of the time…

Incidentally, on the descent, the east side of Mosquito Creek is much more interesting than the dull gravel of the west side…

Ride Planning and Tales • Christina Crest Trail

Fri, 29 Apr 2011 23:04:44 +0000

It's easier than the Seven Summits, though much less developed. I've ridden it twice. The first time I exited via the Vertical Smile, which is just a quad track now. The second time (see link above), I exited along the Italy Creek basin. Some moto guys built a moto-track and it's fresh loam and a lot of fun. This latter option is much more worth it, IMO.

When you reach the summit with the rock cairn, stay to your left (ie. west) and look for the new route around the scree route. I never found this, but the guys at Wild Ways said it was there. I would check in with this bike shop prior to attempting this trail. They would have a good idea of when the snow is all melted as well. I've only ridden this trail in late summer.

Any other questions, just fire away. Cheers!

PS. That smoked salmon was worth bringing, not to mention the beer! I didn't see any bears, but with all of the ripe blueberries up there, I'm sure they weren't far.

Looking for someone to ride dh with, mostly just sessioning and sometimes timed laps on trails. My main mountain is Seymour and I'd be interested in doing some Cypress laps too. Weekends and after work are when I ride.

I'm a pretty experienced rider and starting to take racing more seriously this year, if anyone is interested in traveling to BC Cups and riding together give me a PM!

We will have 1 truck. We are hoping to avoid the ever increasing cost of bringing a second vehicle across on the ferry, but if it is going to totally suck without a second vehicle we'll bring a second truck.

We're arriving Friday night in time to watch the Hockey Game somewhere so we plan on riding from around 9 or 10 till 2 or 3 on Saturday.

As for trails, the biggest stuff we've ridden with these bikes is FM Radio [HTML_REMOVED] GT1, GT2 on Mt Manuel Quimper/Harbourview and The Super D course at Hartland in Victoria.
We enjoy trails like A-Line, Dirt Merchant, and Freight Train in Whistler and Upper Goldmember in Nelson.

Nice work! ^^Maybe it's too long for some people to read on their iphones while driving to work ;), but there's a lot of good info and photos in there. And reading the article in its entirety has left me wanting to bring my bike next time I go through the hwy 16 corridor.

It sounds like Smithers has the edge over Terrace? At least in terms of long descents and alpine riding?

Ya we felt it was a bit long and should have split it up but we wanted a whole meal deal kinda report.

Terrace has potential, but Smithers seems to have a more active community and maybe a more active forestry worker helping them out.

Here's their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shore-Nation/326648820660

If you would have started at the beginning of the season, I think it was $90 to cover you for the whole season.

Now that we have a little less sunlight, we'll probably only ever get 1 lap in till there is no more evening rides.

Usually the ride ends with a beer / food at the Seymour pub. Being in the ride group, you get 25% off at the pub too.

I don't run the ride group. Just enjoy the rides :)

Definitely a fun group to be around.

We went there today. Wasn't able to go all the way up, so we hit the BP -[HTML_REMOVED] pangu route.

Yea, he is fast indeed! No way I could catch up, but we both got rapped on that express double black trail with all those steep rock sections.

you just gotta keep pedalling. seems like that's what he does 90% of the time

he doesn't scope out drops or anything, he just hits it and see what happens ;)

trying to get the most out of vancouver before he goes back to brasil in october!

great guy though

I remember on mt.fromme, natural high, teeter totter about 20ft into the trail, he thought it was a drop and tried to launch and bailed off to left haha.

Total time depends on how far you want to go. After Trapper Lake you can apparently go on to Border Lake - but we didn't. It was still snowed in at the top in early July.

It would be cool to go to seymour or fromme with someone that knows the trails well. I used to live by burnaby mountain and rode everything during the time I spent there. Made it to the shore a few times and can't wait to go up there again. Hope to hear from some people.

Absolutely. You would probably really struggle on the Mountain Air trail because it's so steep and has a section that's got large flat rocks 'paving' the switchback, but everything else is short ups and downs, great for interval/sprint training.

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 06:11:30 +0000

When my friend and I did it in early season it was about 6 hours up 102, down Viper etc. to black tower. We lucked out when we started our pedal back up the road and got picked up about 200 hundred meters from the parking area. It saved us the unenviable fire road climb back up to 103. we then took 103 across to 102 and then down to the ferry.
I was on a Nomad and in my granny most of the way up, he was on a 2005/6 giant reign and also in his granny most of the way up. I'm sure it could be done faster…

Sat, 03 Jul 2010 14:58:37 +0000

That tricycle looks the goods.
I ended up taking my V10 as I had to leave before the first reply. Bit of a last minute post with a very last minute decision to be made. For Mach Chicken it was actually totally fine as long as I was willing to pedal my guts out. But for Black Tower and everything else I rode, the 4X was sorely missed.

Ride Planning and Tales • Thurston Ridge Trail

Fri, 25 Jun 2010 15:46:52 +0000

I've ridden it from the east via both the Thurston and the Chipmunk FSR. If you want nasty steep climb go Thurston, if you want a longer loop but less painful climb go Chipmunk.

The entrance off the road used to be overgrown and hidden, the second time I was up it was easier to find, but I could not really describe what you are looking for. It's a hike a bike up thru overgrowth for a bit then some pushing. Once at the top you could ride it all the way out.

Fun ride.

The hike-a-bike. Don't say you have not been warned.

Far east section where the ride starts.

The views are nice.

It's not all down from the east, still some climbing.

Pretty sweet ridge singletrack.

Bonus to get it while the flowers are in bloom.

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 23:15:42 +0000

There are bridges….in and out of the city!…..Get a good road map of BC or a GPS system. Ferries can be expensive. Sounds like maybe you should google map where you want to go and get approx travel times. I've hit all those places except Nelson and Kicking horse…both of which I'll get to this summer. They are all awsome but by the bridge comment sounds like ou just need to do a bit more research into the driving aspect lol.

Check out the cycling BC website for races if you're interested…Bear Mtn challenge is in Mission…about an hr from the NShore. I loved my roadtrip from Silver Star to Kamloops to Whis a few summers ago…I did it in 3 days but thats cause I wanted to be in Whis for a certain date. Have fun!!

We've got a gps and we are going to the bear challenge aswell and will try to hit woodlot and stuff at the same time.

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 22:46:28 +0000

It's a pretty short push to the top, use the old decommisioned FSR to avoid the dust if you do. If you take turns shuttling/riding the turn around is under 15 minutes per lap.

The trail was mint as of Sunday evening.

this is surprising… last time i was there the boards would pop out on the wall ride when you rode it. i am stoked to hear that the trails mint. i'll be up soon!

Both actually, although the blue line is more of a road ride than anything. There are just so many trails there, you kind of do this 'Hail Mary' thing, riding in the general direction of where you want to go and see what happens.

Let me know when you're around and if I'm not booked I'll see if I can get out for some rides.

I figured the DH style trails would be bad news, and I wouldn't want to ride those on my AM bike anyways.

Are there any others I should steer clear of in the future? I only have a map and it doesn't specify what's going to be messy…

Thanks!

I'd give the whole Five Point Hill area a miss in the pissing rain, not to save the trails but to save your ass. Those slick bumpy rocks can kick your ass when wet.

If you're driving all this way - On a Demo ledgeview is nothing but a bunch of dirt jumps. You should shuttle Sumas a couple times then push up ledgeview to the good stuff. The majority of Ledgeview is NOT big bike friendly. Lots of young kids push up an session the jumps on big bikes but really not a destination. If you had a xc - all mountain bike some of the ledgeview trails are amazing - you'd just be in for a long push though. This is Sumas - 3 minutes past ledgeview

Just got back from riding 18 Road in Fruita.. Managed 5 laps before hunger and sore legs won out and I ended up back in town. Really smooth riding but lots of fun, especially when you've got a brisk wind at your back making the uphill ride take only 16 minutes.

I actually like Fruita better than Moab. Tomorrow I'm going to hit up Loma for some more riding.

It was really, really windy in GJ on the weekend. Ribbon on Saturday was silly :)

He told me the meet him at Valentine Mountain to try some local trails. Turns out he wanted to show me the local DH training runs!

It was still fun, although chasing him down the mountains on my little, pinner Spitfire while he cruised on a Rockey Switch with a 66 left me feeling a little old and slow…the trails were pretty loose, but lots of fun with really good flow. Might have to bring the Scythe next time…

They fixed the road all the way up to hidden pleasures (maybe further, but I couldnt tell if they did); the rumour was they were going to fix it all the way to the hiking trail just before the 2cents entrance. I was up there two weeks ago and it was fine except for the cross ditches for water drainage. I think it would still be dodgy to take a 2wd or low slung vehicle up there. I drive up in a grand cherokee with a North Shore rack and still hit the trailer hitch and bike tires if I am not careful.

Ride Planning and Tales • Bout to go RV'ing on Vancouver Island and the sunshine Coast ,Where can I ride?

Thu, 25 Mar 2010 05:38:20 +0000

another vote for Prevost and Tzou in Duncan….Duomont in nanaimo (aside from some of the ground cover) can be fun….and there's always Hammerfest up in Parksville…

If I'm around and free, I'm always willing to provide shuttles and some slow speed guiding…

Ride Planning and Tales • Vacation to Vancouver, need help

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 14:47:58 +0000

Thanks for the posts!

I had found Endless through some searches and have been eyeballing them, especially since I want to try out a RM Slayer SXC.

I am going to Vancouver to leave on a cruise to Alaska with the wife, and we only have Friday free, leave Sat. morning.

Whistler is a hope, but until we know for sure I cannot plan on it.

From the site it looks like Whistler will open on the 16th of may, and I will be there that following Friday. Any chance they wont be open, or are they pretty good about getting it open on time?

And any worry about the rest of the area being ready to ride? (local parks close down for rain or snow, not sure how Canada handles it…:lol:)

Thanks

Matt

Ride Planning and Tales • the shore over the olympics?

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 22:55:52 +0000

well having grown up riding and building on the SSC I'd have to agree, nearly everything is super flat but there might be a few trails that you havn't ridden that would be a little steeper or rootier, still nothing too gnarly though.
-red/lower red
-pacifier
-pinball down to cablevision
-my friend Chris just finished cutting some kind of line from the sub-peak of elphinstone that eventually hooks up with pressure drop and takes you down to the sprockids park, he says it's around a 1hr descent or something, havn't ridden it but we used to build trails together so it should be good if I he's still building the same style.

Going hunting for said trails. Beers pending results.

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:03:43 +0000

Ok, first off, it's no longer called "chain crazy"
that name died off over a year ago. It's now known as
"2 cents"

Secondly, the stunts that used to be on that trail were absolute crap, if everyone had known just how unsafe they were, no one
would have rode them.

Finally, enjoy the trail as much as you can right now, because that area is slated to be logged some time in the next year or so.

Where exactly are they planning on logging?

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 21:13:00 +0000

Me and my buddies left vancouver at 9am. Stopped by the watershed in Squamish to have brunch, which to our delight had a very attractive waitress serve us… the breakfast there was pretty good too actually. :)

Drove into Whistler and by the time we had unloaded the bikes and was ready to roll, it was 1230. Reached the Trail head by 1pm, arrived on the other side at 5:45pm. Would have just missed you M.A.X. as you were ahead of us.

Only other people we saw was a couple of biker chicks and their dog…. and a few others biking the other way as we were approaching Whistler.

Sunday would have been no different… perfect conditions! I could go on and on about how nice this ride is… but likely just end up sounding like a broken record.

Lady, you obviously know this already, but you will have no regrets riding it! Definitely a must do again next year!

Rode the Triple Crown this year as well, and although the Triple Crown was longer (54km), I have to say that CN was harder… probably because the climbing is all technical to add.

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 04:34:07 +0000

The next day I wanted to go around Cluckata Ridge. This is a long valley starting at the Big Creek drainage then heading west for about 12km up to an alpine pas then coming back to Big Creek. Not that bad an idea but to get to the start of the ride we would have to tack on what people do a day-trip (12kms one-way from Tyax Camp to Elbow Pass then down).

We had also planned to do this day 3 but had to accelerate it to day 2 due to a bit of a change in plans. Didn't get an early start so we were 11hours in total with last 2 by headlamp covering 64kms [HTML_REMOVED] 1500m.

Sharon and Sean wisely opted for a rest day going from Tyax to Elbow then climbing to Elbow-Lorna Ridge. Then they rode out back down the Lorna Trail to camp - their rest day was 30kms [HTML_REMOVED] 100m of vert.

New Denver was good…but not more than a day or two good…Wakefield is a lot of fun…make sure your brakes are in good order…its a brake burner…lol. True singletrack with lots of exposure….kinda scary in places but fun. :) The rest of the trails to me seemed to be fun little bits in between old mining road sections, maybe there are more goods there not on the map…but the black trails were kinda meh IMO.

I hear there are trails in Nakusp too…they do thursday night rides…just meet at the marina/bike shop place. Other than that I did not get to explore the slocan trails much…so much up there….need more than one week to explore. :)

I get off work whenever, depends how stoked i am to ride that day. I ride rain or shine…snow or hail. I'm planning on hitting seymour a bit this year (bridal path and whatnot). Would like to hit UBC and Delta watershed for some XC action.

If I ride SFU its typically 2 laps.

And why Wizard is black, yet Time warp isn't is a mystery. Is it because the TW jumps are shorter? That should make it a higher rating, I jumped to flat on my first TW run. Really fun mountain though.

That first stretch of three jumps on Time Warp is weird; each one of them has a different take-off, length and landing. The jumps on the newer section are better, with the exception of that flat table after the step-down.

The "end" has a optional drop/roll down and- what looks like- a bit of a hip jump but if you hit it with any speed it's going to send you off into the bush.

Ride Planning and Tales • TR: Home to Fromme

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 17:35:12 +0000

Are you lost if you know where you are, but not where you're going?

I've lived in North Vancouver for two years, but haven't done a lot of exploring on the trails outside of what can be shuttled. Reading Chunk's Enduro post got me itching to ride my new Enduro. So I ditched work, and the wife played hooky as well and we headed out for an afternoon bike ride. Leaving at about 3:00pm, the goal was to ride from Home to Fromme (that might rhyme for some of you).

I live right beside the Burrard Inlet, near the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge. Heckler and Bryce had provided me with some directions in a previous post about riding through Interriver Park, up Lillooet to the Richard Juryn Trail, along the elevated path that runs parallel to the road til we reached the LSCR. Then we rode across the Rice Lake bridge and along Dempsey. I couldn't find the school and tennis courts, so we did end up having to ride up Mountain Hwy from Dempsey. It was a short ride/push up to the Yellow gate from there and then we rode up to the 5th switchback. In all, it took about 90 minutes.

Once up at the 5th, we did Pipeline, BP, Natural High and for the first time took the Griffin switchbacks. In times past, we'd taken the BP back to the road but we found the switchbacks much easier.

At this point, we talked about just rocketing down Lynn Valley Road, or Mountain Hwy to get back home but figured we would try to stick to the trails. We rode down Hoskins to Dempsey and then back towards the Rice Lake Bridge. The wife had started to grumble about climbing, and there's a hill right after the Rice Lake bridge, so instead we thought we'd take the Baden Powell as it looked to be downhill from where we were.

This is where our adventure took a turn. I should have known as soon as I saw the staircase, that turning around might be a smart option. Nevertheless, we kept going, if only to see what was around the next corner.

I had always heard of people going cliff jumping in Lynn Canyon, but had never seen it done. Of course the signs warning of pending death are hardly a deterrent.

There were several sets of stairs going down to, and we could see and hear people jumping off rocks into the Lynn River.

Somewhere in my mind, I kept thinking that there was a bike trail that would wind its' way along the river bank until we ended up back at the Burrard Inlet. Again, hindsight is 20/20..

There were definitely some cool sights to see along the way. I had no idea for instance, that there was a suspension bridge, or waterfalls.

There were probably several spots that we could have popped back out onto the road - at the suspension bridge parking lot for instance, yet we continued along the trail set before us. We were on the east side of the river now, and for some reason I thought that we were on/near Mount Seymour. In getting some directions, a woman told us that if we took a fork up ahead to the left that there were 162 stairs [HTML_REMOVED]?[HTML_REMOVED]. We ended up staying to the right, going down some more stairs, and there was a bridge where we snapped some pictures of Twin Falls.

The trail continued on until we crossed over the river again. The fun stopped somewhere around this point. I think it officially stopped being fun when the sky turned deep purple, and we were faced with several sets of stairs, and a trail leading in an upward direction.

Our stomachs were growling, and our arms quickly tired from carrying bikes.

We passed a sign that said Lillooet Road was only 1.4km away. Perhaps it's the road rider in me that mistakenly thought we only had about 10 minutes of pushing/riding until - whoops. It was about an hour later, when we finally popped out onto the gravel portion of the BP.

"Had it been lighter," my wife explained, "we would have struck out west along the Baden Powell and gone down towards InterRiver Park along the hiking/biking trail."

As it was, we took the much shorter route back to the road, yet we both agreed to stick to the Richard Juryn Trail, instead of just riding down the asphalt. It was just after 8 o'clock at this point. I knew this because there was a car who had not left the LSCR in time, and now was stuck on the wrong side of a locked gate. Wishing there was some way to assist, we kept going - past InterRiver Park, the local pub, the grocery store, and finally we reached our apartment, five and half hours total trip time.

All in all, it was a fabulous trip. In retrospect, I wish that I had packed some lights in my pack, so that when it got dark, we could have stuck to the trails in the trees. Maybe next time..

Wed, 29 Sep 2004 16:42:31 +0000

If you are looking to put some energy into some "hardcore" trails, there are two sitting unfinished up past the top of Upper Schizo. One is called Dirty Gerbil, the other is nameless. They both start in the same area, and both have drops and steeps, but are not finshed. No sense starting another trail that one or two people ride, when you can help get these done and help everyone out.

Thanks for the info, I was wondering what the story is with Dirty Gerbil. I took a look at it earlier this summer and at first glance seemed to be an old, forgotten about trail with lots of blowdown, etc. I may need to start packing a handsaw to help that trail along! As for the nameless trail, is that off the same forestry road, before or after dirty gerbil?

Ride Planning and Tales • Powerslave!

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:23:09 +0000

There is a solid 5 kilometers of trail leading from Toad Peak to get to where you rode down from. So you sampled about 40% of the trail.

Our first hike up the trail was last August, but we made it up to the View Point this weekend.

We'd heard the trail goes further, but couldn't see where. Just seemed to be valleys on all sides and we didn't feel like loosing the height we'd just gained.

Google Earth suggests this as well, see attached pic, although I'm not convinced it's 100% accurate.

Either way, awesome 40%. :)

Here's a video link - (sorry couldn't figure out how to embed the code on here)

Best Camping/Riding

Sunshine coast, just free camp off the B[HTML_REMOVED]K
Cat Lake, lake + great trails

these are doable but much better done as a shuttles. so not as great for just takng off and riding.

Owl Creek Pemby,
Harper in Kamloops, bush camping
Vedder you could easily bush camp off one of the 4x4 trails.

pink starfish is a trail best ridden on somebody else's bike so you don't have to land your own to flat over and over again. And yes, wheelie dropping is a valuable skill on those old school trails. I don't think a trail is a trail unless there is at least 1 mandatory wheelie drop on it!

Hello!

I'm new to the scene and hoping to meet people to ride with on Sundays and random weekday evenings. I moved here a few years ago from Ontario (where the riding just isn't the same) and am looking to work on my skills on the North Shore, Squamish, and Whistler.

If you're not opposed to having a somewhat fearless female rookie on board, send me a message! I ride a dual suspension bike, looking to put it to good use - also don't drive so I've been relying on public transportation so far.

Thanks!!

Lots of riding in that area. If you don't have two vehicles in your group, try to sort out shuttles beforehand. You can pedal most places, but there can be some long hauls if you take a wrong turn or sumpin'. Formal shuttles thru the shop are expensive…

Ride Planning and Tales • Silverstar suggestions?

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:35:49 +0000

Silver star is amazing. I just got back from riding there for 2 days. What a blast. As mentioned the blue trails - specifically Shazam and Superstar, are fun for riders of any abbility.

If you want to go for a rip on something a little harder I would reccommend World Cup and Double Dog - very fun.

If you take a run down Rockstar or Pipe Dream be sure to check out the jumps in advance as some of them are big tables, while others are just lips that fall away - if you hit one of those at speed thinking it's a table you could be in trouble.

I've never felt so insignifiacant as I did when I was in deep on some of the berms on Silverstar - no exaggeration some of them are carved 7 or 8 feet deep into the smoothest, tackiest soil around. Amazing.

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 07:12:17 +0000

Hey,
I'm fairly new as well, but recently asked pretty much the same questions(in the thread 'skill building rides'). If you're confident going down all the stuff on SFU, give pipeline and lower oilcan on fromme a try. I believe oil can is marked as a more difficult trail on the maps, but I definetly found pipeline to be the more challenging of the two. Pipeline was also in somewhat better shape as of Sunday in my opinion, though that may well have changed after Sunday's race. If you're interested in hitting SFU or the shore give me a shout. I usually try to make it to SFU at least once a week in the evenings, and am starting to go to the shore now.

Good luck

I felt like I was doing alright on the trails, are there anymore you would recommend? I saw the trailheads for Espresso and Ladies only on the way towards oil can, how do those compare in difficulty?

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:30:09 +0000

buntzen lake is stocked with trout. you can get there after riding burke, eagle, sfu.

the dikes in pitt meadows / maple ridge are good for flat xc, and the fishing is good on parts of the alouette river.

mike lake at golden ears park is also stocked with trout but there are only a couple of spots accessible by foot (most people use bellyboats). there are trails at the mike lake turnoff (switchback / eric dunning -[HTML_REMOVED] climb switchback [HTML_REMOVED] eric dunning, take fsr up to alouette mtn trail, moderate difficulty) and others that carry on for the length of the accessible bits of the park (menzies, approx 10km to gold creek, low-moderate difficulty)

also at golden ears, you can ride the trails on the west side of the road from the park gates up to mike lake (corral trail). you can take the menzies trail to gold creek from there.

there's also hayward and rolley lakes out in the mission / maple ridge area.

lots of places to go!

Ride Planning and Tales • Amazing Inca Trail

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:53:23 +0000

Last month we went for an unusual adventure. We rode part of the Main Inca Trail between Andahuaylas and Cusco. The Incas neither knew the wheel nor the bikes but these trails are excellent for our freeride mountain bikes!

We rode for first time one section of the main Inca trail and we found that it's the best trail we have ever rode on our mountain bikes! Smooth, clean, no loose rocks, no big steps but very demanding on the riding because one mistake and you are done.

This section starts on the Ampay mountain at 4,000m and descends to Abancay City at 2,300m. The Ampay Mountain is a big glacier and as a glacier, the mountain is wet in some parts and full of vegetation. We are now on the dry season and everything is dry but in these area the mountain is like alive. Wet and muddy sections all the way to Abancay, covered by big trees making a special micro-climate inside like we were in the Amazon cloudforest. It is amazing to be riding a trail where everything is dry and suddenly you enter into an aera that is muddy and the weather inside is totally different from what you were riding seconds before. It is better to imagine that the trail was made by the Incas approximately 1,000 years ago and the Inca passed there on a bench that was carried by their people. You mind is blowing with all these ideas while you are descending! How can the Incas built such a good trail for mountain biking?

We reached the start of the trail a little late with only 40 minutes of light remaining but nobody wanted to miss that trail. We decided to ride! At the middle of the descent the night was there but fortunately we had full moon on top of us and at 4,000 meters the moon is brighter than at sea level!

We finished in Abancay alright and on the rest of the tour we rode that trail 3 more times! Enjoy the pictures of this trail:

Ride Planning and Tales • WA ride recomendations needed for May Long

Tue, 05 May 2009 01:54:27 +0000

Forgot to follow up on this - what an absolutely incredible place to ride!

We stayed at a small but amazingly beautiful mountain lodge, and I notched up two half-days riding some of the smoothest sweetest, longest and most totally deserted singletrack I've ever seen.

Devil's Gulch was still snowed in, but I rode the Red Devil Loop instead, which got my climbing legs back in action but thanks to the smoothness and perfect conditions (dry but not yet dusty) it was steady ups with time to soak in the awesome sunshine soaked mountain views.

Day 2 I rode up 5 mile road (well named, and good Fromme training…), and traversed (mostly up) Tronsen Ridge attempting to cross and head down from Red Hill.

Riding solo, I forced myself to turn back within a couple of hundred metres of the descent because of a series of deepening snowbanks on the steep traverse. Even so, the ride down was still a blast (even if the long road ride back to where my GF was a sad waste of vertical - at least it was downhill).

Some pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wa90/tags/wenatchee/

Thanks again Lee and 6061. Highly recommended as a break from the Shore's body beatings!

Freerideguides also do an excellent job of poaching freshly worked on trails with inexperienced riders who like to skid down the fall-line.

Last year they slowed down their van (license plate LR9750) and looked in the bush when they saw us walking up the road with tools. By the time we had put our tools away, unlocked our bikes and rode back to the trail (a very difficult double-black with stunts) they had already dropped off 7 riders from England. When we followed the skid marks and caught up with the group (at the first difficult stunts) the first rider we talked to said "Jesus christ, this trail is bloody dangerous"

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:07:40 +0000

Hi Everyone!

I am fairly new to the BC bike scene and would like to meet new people who know the north shore mountains and would like to ride.
I have a small car in which we can shuttle. I have a roof rack that holds two bikes and a rear rack that can hold two or three.
I have a dh bike so I would prefer trails that we can drive up to since it can get pretty tiring to pedal the beast.
My girlfriend is willing to do the driving on the weekends, so it would be all riding.
Drop me a line if this sounds like something you would be interested in!

We will usually hit up Burnaby mountain once during the week after work as well.

Ride Planning and Tales • Manuals!

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 04:06:58 +0000

Firstly, an old trials rider, who was once somehow the second best trials rider in BC, told me you'll never learn how to wheely unless you're arms are straight. While learning, keep your arms locked, this will train you to find the balance point of the bike, and will put your centre of gravity where it should be. If your arms are bent, you will always be too far forward and you will have to speed up and eventually your front end will go back down.
Secondly, watch any video and study what they're doing - arms straight, legs bucking like, like, like something totally funny. It grinds the crap out of your knees, but that's how you do it. And then spend every second on your bike doing them.
Thirdly, hit your brakes and slam down a million times until you're comfy.
Arms straight, buck your knees like hell, brake when needed.
If you watch that bastard Garret Reynolds on the Nike 6.0 video Writing on the Wall, he's not to shabby at manuals. Particularily after a 7 foot drops with a barspin. Oh, and riding brakeless.

Ride Planning and Tales • Mount Washington Bike shuttle

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 20:15:50 +0000

Hey, I'm toying with the idea of offering a BIKE shuttle service from Nanaimo to Mount Washington for the summer season. I'm thinking the target user would be the rider who doesn't have a license and there parents would like to see them out being active, or the person who would just like to be able to sit back and watch a movie and relax up and down the hill. Also I would like to offer the same thing from the Nanaimo up to Whistler and back for day runs. This service would make it a lot simpler to get there and back with a group of riders and their bikes. I am just trying to get some feed back on if you think this would be a service you might or would definitely use. Any feed back would really be appreciated.

Thanks!

Ride Planning and Tales • Riding in North Wales, UK

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:06:13 +0000

Foel Gasnach is one of the best DH tracks in North Wales. They've got a great ghetto uplift too.

UK riding is quite different to what we have here… You either get XC singletrack or DH race tracks. There are no 'freeride' trails to speak of.

As walleater mentions, there are a fair few purpose built trail centres dotted around the country. They're all very XC though. Don't go expecting the black graded trails to offer any technical challenge. 'Black' often refers to the length of a trail, rather than the technicality. Having said that, trail centres are good fun (if a bit sterile) [HTML_REMOVED] they're a great place to take a family as they have trails for all abilities [HTML_REMOVED] most of them have bike rental, shops [HTML_REMOVED] cafes too. Coed y Brenin is probably the best bet in North Wales.

If you wanted to ride the DH tracks at Foel Gasnach, it might be a good idea to drop the family off at the nearby Llandegla trail centre [HTML_REMOVED] head up there on your own.

All the trail centre details are at www.mbwales.com

Hope you have a good time… At least the weather should be warm (ish) [HTML_REMOVED] wet in August, not bloody freezing [HTML_REMOVED] wet!

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 04:16:06 +0000

Skipped work early (well sort of - I started at 5:30 am) and headed to Cumby. The sun was out and it wasn't too cold. With about 2 hours of good daylight left I headed up the fire road. Took a right onto Buggered Pig and toiled up to where the fun starts. Cleared the first log ride :woot: but didn't have the talent for the second. The downhill log was easier than ever and then I tried the big long curving multi-log line the other way - cleared way more of it than I usually do!

After Buggered I decided to head up to Hai Gai where we had been working on Sunday - so flowy now but still with that nice sketchy feel to it! Not too much mud anywhere and all of the big puddles are dried up.

Gotta love those "extra" days when they happen!

I was going to make a joke about bringing your water wings last night but it sounds like Dave really needed them.

As soon as I geared up I realized that I set my pack down on the bite valve and emptied my hydration bladder onto the back seat of my truck on the drive over. That was my out. Then that f-ing a-hole Dean graciously came up with a bottle of water for me to refill so I couldn't princess out.

I've never seen that creek rage as hard as that, the roar was super loud. If I would have ended up in there it would have been lights out (literally). Of course if I wouldn't have been staring at it I likely wouldn't have almost fell into it :lol:

Correct me some one if i am wrong, but at its inception, the samurai had a definite end planed… i think seven years. I also agree that it was the very last event that had the over night/two day ride planned. If your interested in a low key and not as far of a distance race filled with "event" riders like me, do the west side wheel up. Not super long, but a great course from year to year. There is also some serious athletes there as well, but it is kind of an every mans race.

The second hit mentions Tyax Air. There are lots of stories in biking magazines that mention both SLWA and Tyax Air.

I've never ever heard of anyone who's actually taken a mtb trip with Chilcotin Holidays - despite their advertising. I've heard of their reputation (ie that they're not very bike -friendly) and now you've confirmed it.

I used to hate hitting lippy jumps, but after 3 days of nothing but that, I'm a little bit hooked….Weird? I also cannot fathom why anyone would think the GLC Drop is in any way scary. It's actually easier the faster you go into it.

Can't wait to go back up there again, hopefully before the park closes for the rest of the season, and I start thinking about Blackcomb and my snowboard instead of Whistler and my bike…

If it was drier and less overgrown it probably would have been better, but I just ran out of time to explore.

2nd day I rode Humility/Abyss, and the connector to the Abyss downhill (counter-clockwise) so I could do it twice. That was pretty some pretty good riding. I could do that loop every week if I lived here.

Thanks for your help everyone. Probably no more riding on this trip, unless I look into Kelowna for Monday. The trails were empty and I only ran into one XC guy on Abyss.

Head up to Pipeline,

Drop down to Baden Powell

Hang a left back to Mnt Highway

Head back up to either

Natural high - Griffin - Right back to Mtn Highway and home

or…

Straight back up to do all of Griffin.

no idea how long that'll take, and I dare say the second climb might be dropped but i've got all day to kill. So whose up for it..oh, and if anyone is heading there from downtown in a car I wouldn't say no to a lift ;)

I'm an average rider and have ridden the Shore many times and should be able to hold my own once I get my Shore legs back.

I'm also heading to Whistler mid next week if anyone wants to hook up there. I mainly ride Garbonzo and the lower tech trails in the trees. No A-line for me.

Drop me a line if you want to hook up. Thanks!

Hey,

I'm back in Canada for a few weeks from :norway: and want to check out Crankworx Saturday the 16th… but I need a RIDE!

I can be anywhere downtown Vancouver for pickup (am staying just off of Broadway [HTML_REMOVED] Granville).

I came back to ride Whistler but that plan fell through, so please help a guy at least WATCH some biking!

Gas is expensive so wouldn't you like some help with the cost?

Fire me a PM or reply here if you know anything about anybody driving up this weekend.

Just got back from the doctor and turns out I had a puncture in my lung and a bunch of blood that the doctor in Vernon neglected to tell me about.

As for the riding where I don't know thing, yeah I have had the last few days on the couch to think that one over.

a Pneumothorax will take some time to heal and as for the ribs be sure to let them heal completely before riding on it.

Definitely important if anyone ever breaks a rib to get it checked out. A collapsed lung is no laughing matter - no matter how tough you think you are.

On a better note, we're renting a van next week when the sun comes out again, so if anyone needs a lift and doesn't mind sitting in the back of a van we'd be more than happy to provide some uplifts.

Dude, there was a reason it was the only known triple black on the shore. Comparable in steepness to Gravitron, with a whole whack of sick stuntage on top of that. Plus if you had a mechanical or an injury, it would be a long way out.

Huh, I actually didn't know that it was a known triple black. (The map I have doesn't have any ratings on it, actually). And Gravitron, that's a new one to me. Sounds like it's probably worth a scouting trip first!

Would the riding in Sun valley be good in October? Is there enough to explore for say 6 days of riding?

riding's great until mid october.

plenty of epic high alpine singletrack to be had right up until then.

Has anybody ridden in this neck of the woods.

the lift trails are fun, fast, and flowy.

downhill bikepathing; the sort of thing today's AM bikes thrive on.

have a look at my ransom for my take on the ideal sun valley build.

pm me if you want to know about other lift-accessed opportunities.

no dj's aside from small public park 14 miles south.

imperial is where most of the roam seggy went down.

if you're looking for someone to ride with, pm me first or stop by sturtos bike shop on main.

shirk's right on with his dining reccomendations.

The last thing the loggers need is riders ripping through their active setting. If they are finished logging then ignore my comments.

From the source (re: Bucket of Blood) - logging is done but the trail is not finished yet - so don't bother. Hopefully it will get re-built in early fall.

Road ride up Mt. Seymour - then ditch the bikes in the woods and hike out to Dog Mtn (1/2 hour) - great views of Van and up Lynn Valley as well.

this is an excellent idea.

unless you drive to squamish you won't find any nice singletracks with a view.

the hike to dog mtn is super scenic just not a bikeable trail.

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 05:51:52 +0000

Some answers…

"Does Mountain Hwy continue all the way up the mountain?"

Yes, but you can't drive all the way up as there is a gate near where the forest starts, so you have to ride up from there.

"And are the carparks/drop off points sign posted so they can be found easily?"

On Seymour, yes, on Fromme, not so much and parking is a pain.

"And is it accessible at night as a sightseeing point?"

There are lots of trees which block your view mostly. You're best bet for sightseeing at night would be the Cypress lookout.

Hope this helps…

Appreciate the feedback Soulduck!

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:50:17 +0000

first time so far this year and had a great time!

Took 2 friends up, one of which has never really rode much before at all. Everyone had a great time!

Nicoles is in good shape! Other then the log ride, that seems a little worse for ware compared to what I remember.

We got stopped at the steep switchback section with the wooden ladder at the top (new guy was gonna walk down) and a group of riders came down.

To my surprise, they just ignored the last switch back completely, and rolled a line off the trail and straight down into the last turn.

The line is pretty awsome, and a very steep roll/drop but I did mention to the 2 guys that I took with me that it's a bad thing to do, etc…

One guy didn't really get it, and I tried to explain how city dollars/volly time will now have to spent blocking stuff like that off, when it should be spent on proper trail maintanence, etc…

Hopefully they'll get it, and stick to the trails when i'm not around.

BUT! That line IS really sweet! And it's definately not an easier line per say, as the drop is pretty significant.

I only assume that it's not possible to have it as an offical sorta option/stunt to the trail?

Also, I learned to ride on SFU last year, and it felt really good to ride it again!

Some sections that I remember from last year, not really giving me problems, but slowly picking my way through, I just flew through last night. No doubt a combination of a new bike (wildcard vs. scream) and also more saddle time. But I definately look forward to riding SFU more. such a FUN place!

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 22:13:52 +0000

Define "easier". You will find the trails here are completely different than what you're used to on the Shore.

When exactly are you looking to do this riding?

I'll be going in 2 weeks.

As far as easier, I meant I'm not comfortable on big drops, high bridges and I don't do jumps. Pipeline and Neds are about as difficult a trail that I ride.

I love trails like River Runs Through It in Whistler and Rollercoaster in Squamish.

Would love to ride some long "epic" cross country trails if there are any up that way.

Thanks for all the tips everyone.

I just moved to Penticton and don't know anybody who rides around here yet so I'm looking for advice on what trails/areas that I can hit up by myself for the time being. I'm assuming that Campbell is less work to get into without shuttling and I've heard that the Peat Bog can be a little tricky to get in and out of if you're unsure of the area. True? One of the guys at Bike Barn also said there's a couple of trails above west bench. Basically what I'm trying to say is, Where's a good area to ride solo??

These are riding areas that can be done in a few hours with a bike only, or with only a morning or afternoon of free time and a car, you can access the stuff outside of Victoria. I do not advocate poaching Provincial parks, but am merely stating that it is possible. ;) Lots of other stuff past Duncan.

Pemberton Riding, Blackomb Skiing May 31 2008
Story and Photos by Sharon Bader or Lee Lau unless otherwise noted.

http://www.leelau.net/2008/pemberton2008_05_31/

It is now the end of May. Riding
should be in full swing! For most it is! We rode in the Bike Park on Friday.
I was trying out the new Norco Atomic that I'll be riding there this year. People
have said it, now I believe it… more travel is good in the bike park! Lee
is still thinking of skiing so he planned some insane death march starting at 3:00am Saturday morning. We were also planning on riding Pemberton on Sunday.
While in the bike park I hooked up with some American friends who are a might
addicted to the downhill and with Dirt Merchant just opening up it would be
hard to get them away… So I promised hard fast Pemberton laps on Saturday
so they wouldn't have some lame excuse about not having time to ride Pemby since
they had to drive back home.

So I had a plan. I would go with
Thomas, Lance Canfield - a new Bike Park addict - and Eric Brown - an admitted
bike park addict and we would ride Pemberton Saturday AM and they would be back
at the park by 2:00 to ride into the night!

We'll, Lee's last minute insane ski
plans went awry and now HE wanted to ride with us! NO, I said. We have the right
amount of people for the right amount of cars for the right amount of shuttling!
So he offered to drive! OK THEN!

Thomas ready to Can-diggle and Lance being ONE.

Lee Drove us up to the road to Mosquito Lake turnoff and we head in to ride Cascade Creampuff

Every shuttle needs a bit of climbing! Lance.

Lance on the exit move on Creampuff. What you can't see is the off camber left turn he just made that falls away about 5 feet into the woods, once you come across this rocky bench you just turn right and mach down!

Eric gets to the parking lot 15 minutes before we're back from riding Cream Puff. He thought we were
meeting in Whistler at 8:30, DUDE! Not if you want to maximize the Pemby runs
and get to the Bike Park by 2:00!

Round Two! We head up to ride Meat Grinder!

Meat Grinder! - photo by Lance Canfield

Eric STYLIN' in his rhinestone yellow shirt!

Little Rock Roller on Meat Grinder- photo by Lance Canfield

Climbing Canfield!

Thomas going in the better direction…

Eric with Mount Currie providing a nice contrast to the yellow rhinestones!

Sharon on the poseur rock face! - photo by Lance Canfield

Back down to the car, it is now time for Lee to test out the Can-Diggle! Thomas takes a turn driving the car. This run we ride Grumpy Grouse!

Run three for us starts off a bit more relaxed…- photo by Lance Canfield

Lee

Eric

Great Ride Guys! - photo by Lance Canfield

Turns out three runs is about enough! Even though it is a shuttle, there is some climbing to do and we have to get these guys back for their FIX!

Since Lee only did one run on the bike and he STILL hasn't gotten the ski bug out of him and quite disappointed in this friends who bailed on him, we decide to see what's happening on Blackcomb!

Different kind of attire on the Blackcomb Gondola

hmmm

Spring Avi Cycle off Chainsaw Ridge!

Down the road to Seventh Heaven

Avoiding more then moguls on this run!

When I asked the patroller what the run of the day is… he replied… A-line…
yes.

Lee pining for Fissile, until next year!

ooooo chest deep blower pow!

View from the top of Seventh. Always stellar.
I think ski season is over.

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:05:09 +0000

1. Dave Smutok is very good.

2. Sitting next to Cameron McCaul makes me feel very inadequet.

3. Its only worse when he then pops a huge dumped three off a 15 foot double.

4. I will never surpass Andrew Davies at dirt jumping.

5. The Flatline is FAST. I put my foot down a lot more times than I usually do.

6. 08 Dirtjumpers that come on 08 Flows suck balls and are way to soft.

7. Maiden Voyage is very weird, with random landings and lines.

8. You'll only understand a few of these things if you have heard of HMBP and have seen the trail map at the least.

World Record Naked Bike Ride

Naked Cyclists Take to the Streets!

Vancouver will experience the exposed joy and participate in the world's largest naked protest against oil dependency and car culture. It's time to stop indecent exposure to automobile emissions! Hundreds of cyclists will ride in various stages of undress - reclaiming the streets as sexy, self-propelled citizens. Come join the naked bicycle people power!

The Vancouver ride starts Saturday, June 7, 2:00pm at Sunset Beach (corner of Beach and Bute).

Body painting and performances will take place before the ride. Arrive between 12 Noon and 2:00pm to catch some of the action and some of the paint! A picnic following the ride will be hosted by NIFTY (http://www.niftynude.org). The ride, pre and post-ride activities are all free.

Naked bike riding tips

o Prepare for riding rain or shine!
o If it's sunny, put on sunscreen!
o You do not have to be naked to join the ride.
o Wear shoes!
o If you're shy, we start the ride with some clothing on and then stop away from the crowds to get more bare!
o Keep your clothes with you - you never know when you may need them (like… after the ride).
o Decorate your bike! Come with signs and funky hats! Cover your bike seat with fun fur!
o Ride safely and stay together as a group.

Ride Planning and Tales • Riding makes me happy

Thu, 22 May 2008 09:47:22 +0000

What is it about riding bikes that just turns on that switch in my soul? I don't know if all of you folks are exactly like me, but I can bet that since were all here checking out some stoke material dedicated to the sport we love that we've got at least one thing in common… We LOVE to ride.

I can still remember my first bike. I was about 4 or maybe five and my cousin "big" Dave got a sweet new GT BMX and I was given his old steel framed, rattle canned late 70's who knows who made it and who cares special… My dad got it home and put training wheels on it for about 3 hours untill I decided I wanted to try it without. See I had gotten the feeling that I could lean the thing to make it steer better and I wanted to try out my theory. So the old man obliged, the trainers came off. I mastered the standing on the curb start since I was pretty short for the bike, and I was off. Sure enough you could steer the bike better whith the trainers off, and it sure did lean. To the tune of a skinned knee and my mom yelling at my Dad for "Letting me try that". BUT, I was hooked. Add to that the BMX track at Alpenrose Dairy and the discovery of a little film called RAD and it was, as I belive the kids are still calling it: ON.

Some years later, I spent $500 and bought myself a Rockhopper Comp FS. It was, actualy IS since I still have it, a chromo HT with the Big S's own version of the original Rock Shox Judy Elastomer suspension fork. For reference, $500 was alot of a 13 year old kid, and was more than I spent on my first car some years later. That bike was and still is a great riding bike that makes me loathe aluminum hard tails because of the suppleness steel. However, I found myself missing the BMX track and the jumps. So I got a short stem for it and a set of rise bars. Got some sweet V-Brakes (hey, this was 1990 so…) and found some 26x2.0 tires that closely resembled my BMX's tires. I then thought to myself: "Self, this bike can go faster and in theory because of the suspension, land rougher than your BMX can…". Sure enough, when taken to the top of my favorite big hills, and when ridden on jumps around the neighborhood the new bike just made it all faster and, to me, more fun. Again, it was on.

Not everyone saw the fun I was having and alot of my friends who were also riders couldn't figure out why I wanted to sit so upright and why I was always trying to jump off everything. O well, some folks just don't get it eh.

It was a few year later that while over at a friends party in highschool that I saw what I had been dreaming of in my head all these years. I saw my first "free-ride" mountain biking movie. Turns out I wasn't alone in my insanity, and from the first scene, I was hooked.

A few years later, and I found this great comunity called NSMB. Even though I'm American, I am from Oregon so everything I saw of the shore just looked exactly like my back yard. Next thing I know the sport is picking up speed and I'm seeing riders everywhere. I feel like I just blinked and I'm almost 30 and this thing we call riding has balooned into a full blown industry within an industry.

Turns out everyone rides too. I work in an ER and after 6 months I fond out that 3 of my Docs are guys who helped build Post Canyon here in Oregon, and my Neighbor has a secret stash of DJ's that I've been fortunate enough to ride. I for one couldn't be happier.

I've got a busy life, and I can honestly that I've been on a bit of a riding hiatus the last few years, but BOY O BOY when I threw a leg over my rig again a few months ago… Those old feelings came on flooding back. And what great feelings they are. My rig may not be the newest or the blingest, but man does it ever work miracles. Laying it over and just trusting the tires. poping off a little lip into oblivion… Whatever it is, whenever I'm on my bike hauling ass and just floating over the trail or boosting off a lip, I can't be happier. that whoosiung sound of wind that get's louder and of a different tone the faster you're going. That split second where you're not sure of the line but you know you're going too fast to stop now and you pull it out. Coming back and stomping that jump/drop/whatever that kicked your ass last time. There's nothing better.

So, whatever it is that get's you personaly out there. Keep doing it cause when I look around at what we've built and where we've come, I'm impressed. I hope to someday meet alot of you folk and get to ride with you. untill then, take comfort in the fact that were all in it together, and where ever I am, I'm stoked on riding, so I've got that particualr area covered…

Cheers and No Worries

Dave

The thing that get's me stoked…

Sun, 18 May 2008 04:44:44 +0000

sorta… first time was 2 weeks ago when I voluntered for the ripper race… rode down with the sweepers so I could check it out. but it was a very slow ride down, stopping to collect signs, etc…

Today was different… it kicked my ass big time! I ate crow a good 6 or 7 times, hehe.

we just did 1 lap, then hit interriver for some dirt jumping.

Met another board member last night @ the art gallery for the night riding, and he was kind enough to be tour guide this morning!

thanks again Eric!

We rode corkscrew-salvation-pingu-pangor-empress bypass

I bailed twice on the giant wallride on salvation, but feel great that i at least tried it!

i walked around the angled teeter on salvation as well, but it doesn't seem that hard. maybe next time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVYIQZvekH4[HTML_REMOVED]feature=related

we checked out the rock face on pangor, but its definately gonna take awhile before I hit that!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Fpd7Epm6M[HTML_REMOVED]NR=1

some of my bails were total noob mistakes… not looking forward enough and getting caught on a small obstacle… If looking further ahead I would of been able to judge it/ride around etc… oh well…

as they say,

if yer not crashing, your not riding hard enough :)

Definately looking forward to going back!

Gonna volunteer for the fromme ripper race next weekend, and try to do the same sorta initiation… Ride sweep to check it out, then head back later.

Ride Planning and Tales • MOAB trip - need advice quick

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:24:08 +0000

If your looking for harder trails, hit Daves trail and Chile Pepper trails. The shops can point you there. I'd bring the bigger bike. It's rough county and after a couple days your butt will hurt on a full XC rig. Plus theres good jumps and FR in a few places. Try Bartlets Wash for big hucking fun.
You can only get 3.2[HTML_REMOVED]#37; beer at normal stores but the state LQ store has everything but it's all warm so buy early and get it on ice.
The Red Rock Lodge is cheep. I like the Ramada, nice hot tub.

BTW, I'm coming up to Vancouver on the 24th thru the 1st. Anyone want to show me and my girlfriend around? I'll have my F1 Jedi and a CanDiggle.

Yeah, I've already talked to the kid who posted that, he'll get it back for us if he sees it again. Other than that there's not much we can do.

Well like you said we can dig into our parts bins and see if we can get a bike together for him. I may be able to get a frame so just ask him what geometry he might like.

Keystone is a good laid back place in general, the mountain is vast with a lot of potential to be good. I havent ridden this bike park but I've been on the mountain several times, it won't be as big as the NS, the trails are generally smoother, more rocks, less tree roots, and dryer.

Ride Planning and Tales • Riding Without A Helmet

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 16:40:51 +0000

My point, and I do have one, is that helmets are not a panacea, their design leaves a lot to be desired and more people die in shower accidents than on ski hills and bike trails combined.

I just have to revisit this point and call it out for ignorance.
How many people (as a percentage of the population) ride, and how frequently do they ride? I'm guessing that it's about 2-3% for less than 30% of the time (2-3 rides a week), yet it's much closer to 100% of the people will shower every day, which means that the ratio of shower to riding injuries for the selected user groups, is closer to 1:100. And I'm willing to bet that the people who hurt themselves and die in the shower are elderly people who aren't going to be able to ride anyway.

Next time, state facts that make sense if you want people to listen to your argument.

I find Mel's to flow west, rather than east, so I end up riding up the hill, then as far up the fire road as I can before walking the rest of the way, stopping to enjoy the Eagles, before accessing Mels, and then Nicoles, or should I be going around the other side and up cardiac…

Still working on the 2nd turn, all those rocks, still make me cautious, on my hard tail.

Did try the log ride, almost made it…

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:41:16 +0000

We finally found a decent way out yesterday…

Near the end of Neds there is a couple of drops ( + gap jump ). Take the trail to the left and head to the power line cut. Turn left and just keep going straight/right until you come out at hyannis pt. Stay on the paved road until the dead end ( 3 or 4 blocks ). Follow the trail until it turns left/uphill behind the golf course. Follow the signs back to the parking lot. There is a pretty cool section with lots of rocked bermed corners that leads back to the parking lot! Last back to the car buys beer!

Fast XC exit from Neds!

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 08:47:24 +0000

Looks like a good trip buddy. We will have to ride when you get back.

Dude, even though it's cooler here than it normally is (like during the summer), the ambient temp's like 85-90*F. It just KILLS me while riding long distances. Yesterday I rode the entire National Trail loop and then some, so I guess it may have been somewhere around 35-40km of singletrack. It's mostly ascending one way and then almost a full descent on the way back. I went through 3 liters of water and actually ran out at the last 4 km, but it was downhill so I survived it. It was a pretty fun run, but man does that heat sap your strength. You need twice as much food and water to do the same length runs we do in BC.

Ride Planning and Tales • Pre-trail day Fromme ride?

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 00:28:39 +0000

Is there anyone doing a ride before the trail day Sunday? If so, would you mind me tagging along? I will probably leave a few minutes earlier than you since I dont know how well I will climb with my back hurting. I also am not 100% sure I will be there (see whistler thread) so I dont want to make exclusive plans with someone, just a possible tag-along. Failing that, I will ride by myself if the stars align and I am able to ride.
Feel free to post or PM me.

Ride Planning and Tales • 1st annual Jasper Invitational

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 03:36:42 +0000

I just had the greatest idea ever. I guess this only applies to Kamloops riders, but I guess it's a sweet concept that you can all look foreward to seeing.

I was thinking the other day that apart from Sunpeaks Big Mountain Air, Kamloops doesn't really have any comps or contests. And then I remembered the joyous times that me and a few guys had playing dirtjumping B.I.K.E, and I thought, why not host a semi official throw down with the locals?

So I thought that I would throw together a comp layout and some prizes, and apart from telling all my buds on MSN/in person/whatever, NSMB and Pinkbike will probably get a few looks. I was thinking -

1. Multi rider game of BIKE, small set. (Am) One winner.
2. Multi rider game of BIKE, big set. (Pro) One winner.
3. Best trick, small set. (Am) One winner.
4. Best trick, big set. (Pro) One winner.
5. Best run, small set. (Am) 3 rider podium.
6. Best run, big set. (Pro) 3 rider podium.
7. Gnarliest crash of the day. One winner.
8. Most original/unique trick. One or two, depends on how creative the riders get.

Each winner will recieve a candy bar with the appropriate ribbon attatched. So far all the locals I told are mega stoked for it, I think it will be sweet. I want to turn it into an annual thing, and have it completely filmed, photographed, and updated/posted on here and pinkbike.

What do you think? Don't take the idea, I really want this to be new and unique. I think it will be a sick way to hit the peak of the riding season, everyone should be at their best right now, and the weather in Kam is perfect this time of year. And it will get everyone together at once, and that always encourages people to throw down their best.

Who wants in?

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 08:03:36 +0000

I just rode it last Saturday….why cant I remember a new bridge???

I believe the Janitor on this site is/was planning on keeping CS and rigs alive…..pretty tough challenge.time has not been nice to either trail,especially the latter.

it's a little bridge about 1 inch off the ground… just gets you over the wet boggy part 100 meters or so after the first ladder launch thing at the start of the trail… you used to have to ride on a little ladder bridge then transfer over to a flat board lying on the ground… much nicer now…

yeah, Janitor was taking care of Rigs… saw some of his handywork earlier in the summer up top… some parts of that trail are hurting though… wonder if he was planning on making some of the super sketch bits a little more rideable?

as for CS, that trail is in pretty decent shape considering… only part that I'm bummed about is the huge tree with rootball that fell just as you launch off the the log about midway through the trail… kinda kills the flow a bit cuz the hard braking to get around it… but for sure it could use some loving… if anyone is capable of leading a maintenance mission on CS (read: knows how to build quality trails) I'd love to help out… my trail building skills are seriously subpar…

Here endeth the farewell tour - thanks to everyone who came out to ride. I will still be back in the Fraser Valley every now and then, but it will be less and less as time goes on.

For our last rides Tom and I hit up Bear with a semi-shuttle to ride Bigguns and the DH course - I was on Tom's AC again, and I am beginning to appreciate the slacker head angle, lower BB and extra travel (compared to my Fluid). The next night we hit the Woodlot with Corey and some other locals - those guys were freakin fast! We rode Cabin Trail, "B-Line" and finished with Shot-gun. Wicked ride!

So - I will let this thread die, and plan rides on the "Old Guys" thread from now on. Its been fun riding the Fraser Valley, but I am now looking forward to many more adventures in the Comox Valley!

Got to go to Mt Wash for the first time Friday as well. Great trails, NO, and i mean NO lift lines. Some other trails that are not finished yet,that look like they will be great. Cool drop park. Day got cut short by the ferry that went down forcing us into line sooner than we wanted to be. Stayed at the Riding Fool hostel in Cumberland. Such a cool spot. That is a real cool riding comunity you guys have there.

we were gonna go and ride 2 sheiks today on forbidden but the ferries lines changed our plans also.cumberland sounds like a rad place.gonna plan to head there once summer is done and the ferries die down!

Thu, 21 Jun 2007 20:26:43 +0000

Hey all,

I'm a grad student at the U of Calgary and I'm planning a freeride trip. I'm going to camp but I'd also like to couch surf a little with some local riders in each town so I can get shown around a bit. I will provide beers as compensation. I'm an advanced (not expert) and aggressive rider looking for guys or girls to ride and have a good time with. If I learn something about riding or life in the process than great!

I'm leaving Calgary in early to mid July and expect for the trip to last about 1 month.

I'm going to hit the Okanagan, Kamloops, The Shore, Whistler, Rossland, Nelson, and Fernie. (Although, I might do it in reverse order depending on trail conditions).

If you are interested in any of the following:
riding
offering a couch for a night or two
beer or party festivities
showing me around your town

Please PM me.

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 22:08:44 +0000

If it helps you decide Sun Peaks has a brand new crew made up entirely of riderswho have been hard at it since May reconstructing the park. I know we had some, let's call them "challanges" last season, but we are working very hard to get the bike park to live up to its potential. I don't think you can go wrong with either, and would definatley recommend hitting up both if possible. If you check out Bike Parks of BC website it has some info on package deals, cheers.

A few of the items we heard feedback from last year that are being addressed.

Since 95% of the trail work will be done by opening day the crew can focus on maintenance of the trails

The trail crew is made up of local riders who live for biking

Steam Shovel has been completely re-done, getting rid of the tables tops and gap jumps that would shoot you straight up in the air

More signage and trail markings to help guide people down the hill

Some of our neglected trails have been re-built ie. the trail formerly known as Bambi and now known as Behind Bars.

Good to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys have a wicked resort….cant wait to see the improvements….GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

What kind of riding are you into? On your way up I'd recommend stopping at Blackrock in Falls City OR and/or Post Canyon in Hood River OR. Once in the vancouver area there are all kinds of options. Eagle(4 lost souls, dentist), woodlot(pretty much everything - platinum has the good jumps) and vedder(all the main trails are good) are fun if you like fast jump trails, cypress(sex boy to family guy is a great run) if you like steeps, and fromme(lots of good trail options) or seymour(cbc and everything below) for the typical shore experience. People will be able to give better recommendations if you tell us what you want to ride and what level you ride at.

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 20:25:10 +0000

have been living in London for 18months now and there is not anywhere that we would consider riding within a 2hr drive / train

I guess I'm just looking to get out there and see what's up, willing to ride just about anything. I don't mind climbing or walking around something that's too technical or big for me. Just don't expect me to keep up on a long xc climb. haha

Well, I tried CVMTB, didn't have much luck there either. I did meet skifreak (who couldn't ride due to work) and he gave me the most up to date map of the trails available - thanks Colin!:thepimp:

So, up the hill solo - even took the big hat. Climbed up to Bucket of Blood, strapped on my gear by the lake and headed down - what a sweet trail. All sorts of stunts for all sorts of people and one of the biggest downhill ladders I have ridden - very sweet!

I hooked up the end of Bucket with Broadway - another fun rip, and I even hit one of the gaps! This first one, the little step-up. Well, for me that's pretty big!

I took a quick rest then tooled my way back up to the start of the DCDH. Another sweet trail. Bermy and flowy at the top, knarly and tight at the bottom. Hit up Swamp Trail to Mama Bear and back to my car - what a sweet ride.

By the time I got back to the rec centre parking lot there were 4 or 5 other vehicles parked there - obviously bikers, but I didn't see a soul on the trails. It was a very nice solo ride. Kudos to the trail builders - Cumberland rocks!!!:rocker:

Weather, taxes, pay, price of housing. To name a few. Plus As Eric said I am coming up on 2 years in BC again and I am pretty sick of this place the traffic the weather wears me down. The lack of ability to pay for a house. I thought I made pretty good money but no way to buy a house. Wife always wanted to learn Spanish so can't think of a better way really. Given those motivators it was not an easy decision. Eric was not overly pleased.

Sounds like all very good reasons, i am hoping to go do a year in New Zealand after this summer, Trail building and guiding maybe, see what happens.

I think I have decided on May, probably sometime in the middle. But this Jeep thing sounds interesting as I do drive a Grand Cherokee and have been known to wheel it from time to time. :)

But the more and more I am thinking about the trip the more and more I am considering a bike change for next year. I was going to upgrade the DH steed to something newer, but I may just end up geting a nice 6inch bike. So the hardtail debate might be all for not.

Ride Planning and Tales • Where to ride on my trip down south...

Sun, 06 May 2007 22:53:04 +0000

Hey everybody,
I'm planning a trip down to Lake Tahoe in September to meet up with my family who are staying there for a week. I'm hoping to do it as riding trip as well. I'll be driving down from Vancouver (camping at night), staying close to the coast for most of the trip. I plan on going down through northern California, then across through Yosemite.

Anyone know of any amazing rides along the way? I have to point out that I'm more of a descender than a climber (my only mountain bike at the moment is a DH bike), but don't mind pushing up if it's rewarded with a sweet rip down. I'm sure I'll check out Mammoth, but anyone know of any other lift accessed riding along the way?

On top of all that, anything that should absolutely not be missed as far as camping/ scenery go?

Thanks!

Ryan

any one got tips for riding cliped.

I'm heading up to tonight. If anyone would like to join me 5:30 at the second gate. I'm flexable as far as what trail to ride but since I'm a super slow climber I don't think I could hit anything above the sixth switchback and finish before it gets dark.

Ride Planning and Tales • Any good mountain biking around Tulameen/Princeton area?

Thu, 19 Apr 2007 16:06:06 +0000

Yeah, the section of the KVR between Tulameen and Princeton is one of hte best, but its still just flat and loose gravel. Really scenic though. LOTS of old mining, so if you're into exploring then I'd think you'll find something. Coalmont especially is really neat, and theres a bunch of ghost towns inthere. There's a little shop in Princeton which will probably help you out.

I've been hearing about some sick kids in that area building 30' stepdowns, but I haven't gotten 'round to finding 'em yet.

Plug into this site:

http://maps.gov.bc.ca/imf50/imf.jsp?site=imapbc

You want to get deep into the layers (check the "add" option on the layers menu).
If you grab the 1:20000 set and check the transportation (roads etc) layer you'll get a nice gov't survey of all the old roads in the area.

The trails are still wet and soggy too, according to a friend of a friend I just spoke to. Oh well, it would have been awesome to hit it up but it wasn't meant to be I guess.

dirty little secrets of the sunshine coast trail map guide.

you can pick it up at spin cycles in gibsons. (on hwy 101)

there is a campground in robert's creek just past the main riding area that will work perfectly for you and you'll be right at the doorstep to the goods.

hwy 103 and 102 are the "must do" trails but there is sooooooooo much good stuff in robert's creek that you can't go wrong.

Its a shuttle mtn. If you want to park you will see where to part.You part right at the power linesand there is a pull out where you can park. I am sure there will be others there. What do you like to ride? Just trail or u into freeride as far as trails go? We could prob hook up withya if you wanted to go for a ride.. I more or less only ride the freeride trails.

Ride Planning and Tales • Never ride...

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 15:49:08 +0000

Healing vibes a-coming… :) Bro, this sucks BIG time. Sorry to hear that. i was riding yesterday, but still a bit too tired from working 5 days straight, plus some other sport and, well, some digging. But it was nice, i am still working on my personal trail which will eventually end up on my "sacred ground" and the "baby sender". I guess at least three or four weekends to go, without jumps, only the trail as such.

anyways, i was kinda surfing the until-now built stuff - and it was cool, although i was not really able to seriously flow but hey, :rocker: i had nice weather and the hand is kinda ok. will have two weeks off in two weeks…:D

Ride Planning and Tales • Visiting BC....wheree to ride besides Whistler?

Thu, 08 Mar 2007 16:14:37 +0000

Hey Guys,

I will be visiting Canada from 21 July - 12 August this year.

I will be in Whistler for the first 2 weeks. From 5 - 12 August I have nothing planned as yet.

I have been told that a roadtrip to the interior of BC would be a good idea? Areas mentioned were Nelson/Rossland, Kelowna, Penticton, Kamloops?

Any thoughts on this? Better to just stay the extra week in Whistler? I've heard the valley trails can keep one occupied for months.

I ride a 5inch travel bike, more XC/AM and prefer technical ST with some drops and stuff.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mint

While this might sound funny coming from me… I spent every weekend in Whistler (sign of the cross)… I have learned the error of my ways. There are plenty of places to ride here in this great province. Spend your time in Whistler but take that bike elsewhere as well.

Your list will give you the variety that makes riding here fun. Hit the island… I have yet to go there with my bike but I imagine is super fun!

Best bet is when you get here… get back on the boards and ask people if they want to hook up for a ride. There are always people that want to ride and are more than willing to show people around.

If and when you are here in North Van… a bunch of us would be willing to take you and show you the trails.

Cheers and don't burn out counting down the days… it only makes it harder!

Ride Planning and Tales • Leeside Restoration

Tue, 06 Feb 2007 19:37:32 +0000

Leeside will never become a permanent park, it's an earthquake proof tunnel that's supposed to provide access for emergency vehicles in the case of a large earthquake.

Wooden ramps would be fine because they can be easily plowed out of the way but they would be burned, and nothing concrete would ever be allowed by the city.

any building energy would be better spent elsewhere….

I totally agree. I think a small members only club is the best interm solution to having some nice ramps indoors. Maybe……..

Mon, 12 Feb 2007 00:20:15 +0000

If anyone's interested in joining me on a night ride on Burnaby Mountain any day of the week, please let me know. I screwed up the crank on my bike and couldn't ride this weekend and am totally overdue. I was trying to put a 22T granny on instead of the 24T and it got ugly (another story). I would be interested in hitting the trail around 7-8pm (maybe later, I'm flexible) and ride the North Road Trail up to Dead Moped, take Joe's to the top and bomb down Mel's down to Joe's again… then take the North Road Trail all the way down to the parking area. The loop is approx. 6 miles and takes around 2 hours if you're slow. Night lamps obviously required. I need to see if this 22T granny's gonna cut it!

I normally plan some pretty epic trips out of town when I get a chunk of vacation. This Christmas and New Years I hauled my MTB in my little ol' Mustang down to Tucson, Arizona. I road Starr Pass and Brown Mountain in Tucson Mountain Park, then made one long XC trip from Sonoita to Collosal Cave via La Cienega Creek. From there, Moab's a good stop on the way home. Of course, you'd need at least 2 weeks to enjoy something like this.

If you go to the kootenays, drop in to the Sacred Ride in Nelson and talk to mark or jeff and they will tell you about all the trails to hit.

Why they didn't close the school today I'll never know. Went up after work and it was a zoo. Cars stuck everywhere, students walking up the hill, students walking down the hill, and yet more cars stuck.

Got props all the way up the road from both cars and students alike. Trails were great except for the steep uphill sections. Light, fluffy snow everywhere. It was about 6" deep, but very rideable. Nothing like the Shore conditions the past couple of weeks.

Best snow ride of the season.

We only have one picture and I don't have it so once I get it, I will add it to the post.

Well, what better way to spend the last day of the year but on the mountain.

We started off the day with a Coffee from the fine ladies at Bean, most of us late, myself early… and after drinking a truck load of beer the night before… the idea of not going had crossed my mind.

But once everyone had arrived… Myself first, Aimee, Robin, Lisa, Stacey and Kelsey and finally Dave and Michelle.

We decided that we would do a Corkscrew, Salvation (deleted first run…) Pingu, Pangor and Empress.

It was at the top of Pangor that we decided, despite the fact that we all had our gear that we would spend the remainder of the day on the lower half of the mountain instead of Boarding/Skiing the second half.

We all met at various spots and watched a few ride stuff for the first time…

Round two was Corkscrew, Ned's and out. Finally when most had decided to go home and get ready for the evenings festivities… We three continued on. Doing another run of Round 1.

Got back to the house, cleaned up, drank bevies, almost fell asleep on the couch and headed out for New Years!

There is a random controversy ongoing that someone… will not mention any names… got pretty involved with a supporting structure!

Probably one of the best New Years Eve days of my life.

Fri, 29 Dec 2006 02:25:16 +0000

Ahoy bikers!

Christmas has come and gone, and we're all no doubt in need of some soul strenghtening bikery! Its time to shake off some of that turkey induced lethargy, family induced stress, and christmas baking induced spare tire action, and get a ridin' again.

Tomorrow, thursday Dec. 28th is the next midinight mass bike ride - a perfect chance to get out and see some of your friends and get back in the groove. The forecast is for a clear and crisp night, so bundle up and bring somethin' hot to drink.

As usual, we meet at Grandview park (commercial drive @ charles st.) at 11:45, and roll at midnight to parts unknown - join us for the post christmas/pre newyears festivities!

I'd like to bring the big bike out and shuttle on either Cypress or Seymour, but I just basically want to get out and enjoy the sun. I have a vehicle we can use to shuttle, but My usual riding buddies have either bailed or are broken… ;)

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 20:11:35 +0000

My buddy and I rode Valleycliffe in Squamish yesterday. Man, labor of love was iLL. The first stunt in there was skeeeetcheeee…the steep rock / wooden ramp / steep rollout was nutbar in the wet.
The rest of the trail was killer, not too much windfall…we cleared away a bit of stuff. There were a few logs down on 7 stitches that really broke the flow, and someone will have to get a saw in there to clear them.
Sure felt good to get back on the bike now that all that snow is gone. Get out there and ride!

We ran into 2 other guys on the trail, black VP-free w. Totem, and a blue (bullit?) Santa cruz w. Shivers….anyone here fit that bill?

Ride Planning and Tales • Midnight Mass 1-year anniversary TONIGHT!

Thu, 23 Nov 2006 22:25:32 +0000

Well, who would have believed it, but a dark and rainy thursday evening one year ago about 10 brave (some would say crazy') souls set out for the first of Vancouver's bi-monthly midnight bike rides. It was damp, but there was hot mulled wine and camraderie and the idea stuck.

We've ridden every second and fourth Thursday of the month for a full year since then - there have been new faces, new friendships formed, secret hang out spots discovered, and much bikelove momentum generated in that year and now we want you to come out and ride with us (and maybe eat some cake too) to celebrate!

As always, we meet at Grandview Park (commercial drive @ charles st) at 11:45, and ride at midnight - bring your lights and your friends and you thermoses full of hot refreshments and get your ass to the midnight mass one year anniversary ride - tonight!

Ride Planning and Tales • Planning a big road trip next summer

Thu, 16 Nov 2006 21:22:30 +0000

We did a trip this August that I'd love to do again. For the most part we had friends to stay with the whole trip and I really recommend finding locals to show you the goods.

We rode 3 days in Kamloops, then Silverstar for a day. From there, headed to Golden. Planned to ride Mount 7 but a massive thunderstorm made us hide in the tent. Next day, pedalled up to the 10 km mark (we'd been shuttling and wanted to stretch the legs - if you can arrange a shuttle, do it, the climb was LONG!!) A woman in one of the board shops on the main drag gave us a number of a guy who did shuttles, sorry can't remember more details.

Next was Fernie. Park was fun, again, if you can meet some locals to show you stuff around town, there's some really sweet riding, not to mention beautiful views.

In Nelson and Rossland, some of the local shops run rides weeknight (Rossland was $10 for the shuttle), again, lots of trails and lots of fun.

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 01:51:53 +0000

7th in the snow was sweet on 11/11/06. Tim, Rob, Connor and I were giggling as we slipped our way down in the early morning making fresh tracks in the snow.

'Lower' Oil Can was fun, fast and flowy loam. Then Boundary was awesome. That was until I had an early rear wheel dismount on a sweet piece of woodwork.

Sitting on a bench Tim looked over at my bike after a big BANG and said, "Dean, your wheel is Fcuked!".

I would agree.

There are 11 broken spokes dangling on that wheel.

The broken wheel incident occurred on this beauty. Tim was sat on a sweet bench just out of sight on the left.

Ride Planning and Tales • epic

Sat, 14 Oct 2006 04:38:21 +0000

An Epic goal.

I had this Idea the other day where A guy would ride Ledeview to Sumas to the Woodlot to Burke Camp out on Burke then hit Eagle. Take a water taxi from buntzen to woodlands then hit the shore triple crown.

It would take me some training to pull it off though, I couldnt do it right now.

I was thinking of ways to extend next years Triple Crown. This one would be a fun ride.

Yeah that 7500 ft shuttle was kinda fun :)

Ride Planning and Tales • Info needed for a french tourist coming to ride the Shore

Tue, 26 Sep 2006 15:23:28 +0000

My advice:
1) Ignore Kookboy: about his Frenchy comment and about Whistler-Blackcomb.com being all the info you need (yes, it's a good place to go, but there are lots of other places to ride too)
2)You can find website links about every aspect of riding (from local guides to retail shops that rent bikes to trail info) at http://www.nsmb.com/links/
3) A good place to start for info about trails on the North Shore is http://www.nsmba.bc.ca/
4)I'm not sure which one's, but I think several of the bike stores in North Van rent bikes.
5)Post in the "Ride Planning and Tales" section and ask if someone might be nice enough to show you a trail or 2 (the promise of beer is usually well appreciated ;) )

Hence the ;) . It's called a joke, thank you very much.

ludnsm, as said above, try the Ride Planning and Tales forum.

Or just PM a few guys. I'm sure you'll get a guide easy.

Cove in North Vancouver/Deep Cove has great rental bikes.

Ride Planning and Tales • 10 - 9 day messenger day

Wed, 27 Sep 2006 01:13:49 +0000

an article i found just in time for the day
http://www.messmedia.org/messville/10-9DAY.HTM

spread the word and support the craziest hardest working most under appreciated grill monkey out there

October 9 is
Messenger Appreciation Day
In 1991, a mayoral proclamation decreed that October 9 of every year would be Messenger Appreciation Day in San Francisco. October 9 is "10-9" in radio code and means "Say again" or "What?" 10-9 Day is celebrated informally all over the world. In 1997 Toronto joined San Francisco in celebrating Messenger Appreciation Day with a joint proclamation from the City of Toronto and Metro Toronto.
10-9 Day has been proclamied or recognized by Calgary, Chicago, Edmonton, SanFrancisco, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver , Houston and Washington DC.

Let's congratulate all bike couriers on the benefits they bring to our cities:

a solution to the problems of pollution, congestion and gridlock faced by large urban centres
reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the downtown core
take up less space on the road and do less damage to the roads than cars resulting in better conditions and streets for all road users
increase the safety of pedestrians compared to cars. (studies show that pedestrians are "250 times as likely to be injured by a car, bus or taxi" than a bike.)
aid charities, (such as St. Stephen's House through the annual "Courier Classic", BAAR, toys for kids and Prisoners' Literacy Project)
draw tourists and international attention to cities through events and races
provide a value added service that continuously improving firms seek out as a means to reduce costs and improve efficiency (crucial to the movement of important information)
are ambassadors of goodwill for the city (hold doors, give directions, catch thieves, report accidents, retrieve stolen property and hunt down owners of lost items.)
provide a link between many of urban homeless people and the rest of the downtown core
year round cyclists who promote the bicycle as a viable form of transportation and economic development

The United Nations proclaimed October 9 - "World Post Day"

Yeah copped out and took the sea bus, I had 2.3 knobbly tires on (not helpful on the road) and was gettin hungry. So -3km off the days total :(

Once I've got my squeaky rear hub sorted I'll be headed back up to Seymour, have been riding at Burnaby until now (with one scary trip down Pipeline on Fromme). Seymour feels nice and expansive and seems to have plenty of variation and great signage. Why the hell do they flip the maps around on Burnaby, in my book North should always be up?

I plotted out that route by hand, but I'm pretty sure you'd be able upload GPS data as on www.trailpeak.com

Wow, i just found this thread again… and its still going (now I know where all the drama from the SSC thread went).

Ok, you guys are young and full of moxie (look it up), thats great, now TALK TO AND MEET the local guys (Daryl, Lewis, Stubs, whoever) about what you wanna do, and find out what we would like done and what would fit with what we already have. Maybe something around the upper DH course in the cut? (like a dual slalom course, local twonie races anyone?) maybe some more trails around the upper section of the mountain (in the Branch3 / Mainbranch / 103 traingle).
Theres lots of terrain out there but you wont know it if you dont walk it first.

I am just posting in regards to the twoonie race thing, i would love to get something like that set up as well. I need practice and would welcome any oppertunity to do so, MBO's and locals forsure and anyone else who wants to as well. just a thought

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 04:38:39 +0000

Both done:

Comfortably Numb is pretty relentless, no decent views till the top, then still not amazing.
7 Summits is longer, but includes far more descending :)

Both rides would be hell in summer heat, but at Rossland you're in real trouble! (no real tree cover)

CN is def more tech, 7 Summits is old-school bomb down a hill, climb back up a hill stuff!

My fav was 7 Summits, takes effort to plan, but the views are stunning, and the singletrack superlative!

Ride Planning and Tales • Looking for partner for TransHimalayas - mtbhimachal

Wed, 30 Aug 2006 04:24:30 +0000

I am actively seeking a partner for the mtbhimachal race this coming October… It's in India and runs from October 4th - 13th. :crazy:

see www.mtbhimachal.comfor details

Entry fee is US$750/ two person team. Plus, you need to get over there… about $1800 or so for the airfare.

The race is at altitude and I'm not a natural climber so I am looking to complete the event more for the adventure than anything else. I'm 36 and have been riding mountain bikes since 1984 so pretty experienced and capable overall. Looking for someone who has a good attitude and the endurance to go the distance. Would prefer a female partner as the mixed category is likely a little easier to place in but I'm not being too picky at this point :)

Things you need to consider are the cost, need for up-to-date passport/vaccinations etc.

Post here or send me a PM with any questions/indications of interest.

cheers
Andrew

I believe the reason they close is because of school. They opened the day school was out, and close the day school was in; I would presume people that go to school are most of their business. Since its a smaller hill, I doubt they have the ability to stay open like Whistler.

And it doesn't start snowing until October at the earliest, usually late October.

We used to ride up that road 3-4 times week…. true story. It makes the lookout and the trails that much more enjoyable. It's not that much different from climbing any other mountains, about an hour up and good times down!

There are a number of trails that are fairly easy. The north and south Gibson's trails go from the Manning Park Lodge to Strawberry flats, on either side of the road. These are both rides on wide trails and have no difficult sections.

A more strenuous trip is a trip up the monument 83 trail. It is basically an old fire road 16 km one way that takes you to about 6400 feet. The last bit is steep and has roots on the trail. It just climbs steadily but is not difficult.

Poland lake is a cross country trail that starts at Strawberry Flats. It takes you up an old access road to the top of the Orange Chair. It also is on an old fire road which is a bit steep but not bad. It can be hot on a warm day and there is not a lot of water on the trail once you get to the ski runs.
Once you get to the top of the orange chair there is some additional climbing and then it drops down to Poland Lake. It is about 8km from the bottom to the lake. Expect 2 hours up and less than an hour down.

Thank you. That sounds like what I am looking for.

Have a good 1

Rat - thanks for all the advice. The RV sucks going up dirt roads - it eats gas and the rear hangover (no, really, this isn't a pun) is really low/long so it doesn't like dips or big bumps. I could tell stories for days about the places we took this back when my gramps and I would bushwhack through his farms and cross creeks with the old Holiday Rambler - but they usually end with getting stuck and grabbing a tractor to pull it out. Aaanyway……

I like the pedal across plan, and if our schedule works we'll have to give it a shot. One of the things I'm trying to do is line up our riding so that we don't have to hit the bike park on a weekend or holiday (US Labor Day is sept 4). Lift lines and crowds just aren't the same as speed laps on Merchant.

I assume we'd want our big bikes for Gibson. We both have granny gears, so pedaling up on them isn't an issue.

Great XC over there to. your call.

you could actually shuttle the B[HTML_REMOVED]K logging road in an RV its pretty smooth.

Hey Gang…

Just in case you missed my posting in "the shore"… I'll be running another testing session this Saturday Aug 12 on Fromme (starting at about 9am). There are a bunch of pre, mid, and post-ride measures that I'll take in addition to continuous heart rate monitoring. The ride route is up Old mountain highway (from the water towers) to Seventh Secret trailhead, then, after a break of about 15 minutes, descending down seventh, leppard, kirkford, crinkum, cedar, and roadside attraction.

The whole process took about 2 to 2.5 hours in most cases, with some being faster/slower.

Let me know by email if you're interested (birtwell@uvic.ca) - all of your own data will be emailed to you and compared to the group's average data.

thanks!

How is the drop on Slash? I have yet to ride it. Me and forest rebuilt it a couple weeks ago, just after his bike got ripped off. He muscled the big roll down rock up the hill by himself. I grunted like I was helping, but really it was all his anger that got that rock in place.

I'm fairly new to Vancouver, and am looking for people to do some epic X-country rides with. The only X-country I've done around here is Comfortably Numb (loved it - one of my faves), and a shorter ride on the sunshine coast. 30 to 40 km of singletrack with 4000-5000 feet of climbing sounds like fun to me. I'm free to ride Sat and Sun this coming long weekend.

I just got back from my trip to Santa Cruz, and holy shit is there some crazy riding up there. I was on my Flow so I couldn't do much of the stuff I would have liked to, but god damn. The trails are almost all illegal and are very hidden, but they are sick and insane. The trail that I took on my last day was up in a super dense forest and was so steep in spots that you couldn't even walk it. Easily the steepest trails I have ever seen/ridden. They were all singletrack though and super fun, but the directions and names of the trails are considered confindential to the local riders. I had to go to 5 shops and piece together what each said in order to get to where I was going. It was worth it though.

Hi Gotham,

If you would like someone to show you some of the beginer/intermediate trails on Fromme drop me a PM.

same here.

but note that the term "beginner" is deceiving - the easiest trails on fromme are NOT beginner trails per se. however, if you can handle parts of seymour than you should be able to handle some of the trails on fromme.

Well, I'm up for another Diamond Head run tonight if anyone is interested…I don't think I can ride up again, unless it's against my will.
Again, if anyone is up for a shuttle, my car is a good pick up vehicle, but can't carry bikes.

**edit, I want to try this bad boy: http://photos.nsmb.com/showimage.php?i=8542[HTML_REMOVED]catid=searchresults[HTML_REMOVED]searchid=23552 but just walking up to the top gives me the willies. Any words of Wisdom?

so what is the point of the annual club membership?

whats the details with that shrew?

by having an annual club membership you're allowed to ride at the farm and be covered by insurance and such. it's basically the same as going to whistler and paying, or going to an indoor skatepark and paying. covers costs for the owners/improving things/insurance/ etc..

Ride Planning and Tales • Riding Near Nanaimo?

Tue, 20 Jun 2006 17:28:30 +0000

pretty good networks around Namski.
Duomont road trails are fun, nice mix of XC and freeridey stuff.
Mt. Benson allegedly has good trails, but i've only found two.
The abyss is gnarlier XC, lots of fun.

the best part about Nam isn't so much what's right in Nam, but what's close by - Cumberland, Duncan, Parksville, Pt Alberni, etc. it would take a long time to get bored on the island.

Max

some sweet trails on mt benson, you just have to know how to find them. cumberland has some great riding.

Fri, 02 Jun 2006 04:41:24 +0000

I was there for the long weekend, and after we found out that every campsite within 50 kms was full, we just headed up Gillard and took a side road into the bush. It's pretty sweet to finish a ride and cruise right into you campsite instead of driving down that heinous road one more time. We camped at a spot just up from the 3K mark where most of the trails end. There is a big slash pile on the right, and you just drive on the lower of the two roads for like 100M and there is a site with a fire pit and some leftover wood. Just watch out for the cows, apparently that is prime grazing ground and we were woken up around 5:00 every morning to a rooster like chorus of Moos. haha

Ride Planning and Tales • mid week rides

Fri, 05 May 2006 04:18:18 +0000

so after receiving zero replies and zero PM's, i went anyway.

from the yellow gate on, there were a plethora of people out last night.

rode up to UOC. met some dudes up there who looked to be having fun.

rode UOC, then starfish - did starfish get really hard in the last couple of months? got tossed a few times, but also managed to clean a few skinnyz i'd never cleaned before, including the "transition" one at about 2/3 down.

rode digger and cleaned it top to bottom without so much as a foot down.

then sauntered down lower crippler to Dempsy. the view of the sunset from dempsy as you ride to lonsdale was worth the price of admission - spectacular, amazing and utterly inspiring.

and just as i was crossing marine to get to the seabus, i heard my name called, bumped into three friends i hadn't seen in a long time and we went for burgers and beers at raglans.

anyone feel like they missed out?

Lee, how was your ride?

It's viable. Nothing really on that section, unless you veer off left JUST before the washing machine - that takes you to the rock drops, but leaves you out on the road well before Amy fisher.

There's several variations on the way down - to the right there's a fairly steep section that is greasy when wet. It used to have some wooden ladder bridge type drops, but they are all down now.

oh man the riding was primo, so nice up there. hit the snowline near the 5th switchback, and it was pretty hard riding once you got close to the 6th switchback. 7th was nice and a bit snowy at the top. UOC was sick as usual. love the new building on espresso. great day of riding:)

Ride Planning and Tales • Junk Yard Dog race course pre-ride: Sunday, March 26th at 9:30 am

Thu, 23 Mar 2006 03:13:51 +0000

Meet at the South Surrey Bike park water tower at 9: 30 am. In case you don't know how to get here check out the SORCE website:

http://sorce.gotdns.com/about_location.html

This is a fantastic course without a ton of climbing but you'll need to bring your old school XC bag of tricks. The trails are bumpy, twisty and feature lots of log crossings and a few ladderbridges to mix things up and tip the scales in favour of the true mountain bikers out there. Don't forget to check out the SORCE website and check out the best city sanctioned bike park out there!

Here are the JYD race details:

A road climb spits you into a tight, twisting circuit of technical singletrack in the South Surrey Bike Park home of the Junkyard DJ's. Roadies Beware - despite the location, the Junkyard Dog XC is no "Ride in the Park". It's a log strewn, grunt fest that will leave you barking like a Pit Bull and foaming at the mouth.

Here's what the racers had to say about the rain soaked Junkyard Dog 2005 :

"The Junkyard Dog Rocks!"
Andreas Hestler, Team Rocky Mountain/Business Objects

"The race totally kicked ass! I love mud and that course couldn't have been funner! Thanks for putting on such a great event."
Neal Kindree, Team Squamish

Date: Saturday, April 1, 2006 10 am start time
Who: Licensed and Citizen Racers (non-licensed) welcome!

Sat, 25 Feb 2006 23:50:16 +0000

well the snow stopped, but the wetness remained.

i was shocked to discover that no-one wanted to join me!

but i went anyway.

got geared up, drove to the trailhead, started riding up Corona trail.

crossed the road, did a little XC loop (bruin trail?) before hitting the road again and making my slow snowy way up to the top of armageddon.

hit up three sisters trail to mothers and daughters. the snow was pretty deep at the top, making the normally ripping downhill a bit of a tough go.

scooted back to the road, up to the top again. i met up with two excellent dudes (steve and rob) and a fun-loving dog Jesse, and we proceeded down armageddon together.

some wooden stunts have been removed, not that we were going to hit too many of those up today!

but there are still the high quality drops on spittin' chiclets and mary jane.

add a dose of some new trails with a few gaps and smokin' singletrack and we had a hell of a time.

now i have a wet muddy ass. actually, i've cleaned up, but i did have a wet muddy ass. nothing says fun fun fun like a wet muddy ass.

now for that poutine and a deep-fried snickers to chase it…

have i yet convinced people that when i do a ride call out, nothing but fun happens?

see ya next time,

Is anyone interested in riding fromme tomorrow? I was thinking of going to the outdoor show, but with this weather I'd rather go for a ride. I'd prefer to ride some harder trails since its nice and dry, but I dont really care what. I would be bussing out there, so something like 11 or 12 would work for me. Also, I've really been wanting to hit the air supply jumps, so if anyone would want to session those and let me follow them in so I know the speed that would be fun.

Wed, 15 Feb 2006 18:21:51 +0000

Williams Lake is awesome. There are free maps in town at the local bike shop. I believe it's called Red Shred's.

My suggestion would be to hire one of the locals guides - Merle - to take you shuttling at Desous. It's so frickn' rad there.

There some really nice trails closer to town as well. Some of the stuff is for riders with big balls [HTML_REMOVED] skills, that's fer sure.

Where do you recommend leaving the car for this ride? Typically I park at the corner of Mtn. Hwy and Dempsey in order to minimize after-ride climbing no matter where I come out.

Dress warm!

Sun, 12 Feb 2006 05:27:23 +0000

Amazing day in the GVRD. Hope lots of you had a chance to enjoy it.

I had the privilige of riding the shore for over four hours today (and shuttle time doesn't count). Google Earth placemarks courtesy of Darklord [ATTACH]1860[/ATTACH] (you'll have to have Goole Earth installed - unzip to load file).

Started at the base of Cypress -[HTML_REMOVED] rode up to first lookout where were greeted by two lovely Redbull girls offering up free drinks :clap: Nice way to start the day. Headed down Millstream Trail -[HTML_REMOVED] Millstream Road -[HTML_REMOVED] Brother's Creek Trail -[HTML_REMOVED] powerlines -[HTML_REMOVED] down to the Capilano Dam -[HTML_REMOVED] up Prospect -[HTML_REMOVED] meander around the houses for a while trying to find the route -[HTML_REMOVED] up to the powerlines -[HTML_REMOVED] Baden Powell -[HTML_REMOVED] top of St. Georges. Split the group up - one went down St. Georges, and the other did Upper [HTML_REMOVED] Lower Boundary, which were in fantastic shape. Props to Karen. The two groups met up at Lonsdale Quay for lunch.

Not exactly epic…..but wait, there's more! After lunch, three of us went home for the DH gear and headed back to Cypress (we did have to retreive a vehicle anyway). Rode 5th Horsemen (had my ass handed to me), then up again for Sexboy. We did shuttle these two runs though.

Fantastic ride. Sometimes all it takes is one good day to make you forget about two straight months of rain.

I hope to be there at 10:00 tomorrow and we are going to try and hit Vics and than walk back up and do Triple Crown. I have to be home by 3:30 so I am not sure if we can pull that off or not. It sounds like there is some good trails under TC as well but I don't think we will have enough time. I like DH and my son likes dh, fr.

Tue, 24 Jan 2006 02:20:13 +0000

I agree. a balance line under those powerlines would be amazing. Plus that twisty section is not the most fun part of the ride….

-m

because of the type of soil under the power lines it is very prone to eroison. just have a look at the giant trench that comes after corkscrew. the tight line was put in to help keep riders speed down and prevent major erosion. there are plans to put some trail features in there, but they're at the bottom of the list when it comes to all the trailwork that needs to be done.

Well so much for 12noon! eh? my son and his friend (our ride) tried hard to jam due to rain rain rain…. heaped lots of guilt and viola,we left.
late got there 12:30ish and became the sweep. made the top in time for photo finish and everyone just disappeared down Knob/road/to cabin /to home etc…Did the Knob and Holiday sauce with the Toddster and co. and a freewheel which refused to freewheel ended our ride early ,oh well with turkey at home waiting it all worked out.
The weather did get better ,and it was nice to see a diverse crowd out there.

Indoor opens at 1pm every day this week for practices (pay$5 )and enjoy.

Fromme is the middle of three mountains and is right outside of the Lynn Valley area of North Vancouver. The gravel road to the trails begins at the top of mountain highway which goes out of the main lynn valley area. Fromme is also somtimes known as Grouse mountain and if u look at the grouse mountain ski resort area from vancouver you will notice how grouse dips just a bit and has a little valley then goes back up and the slowly goes down, well that bit that gradually goes down is Fromme. If u want somebody to show u around up there just give me a shout and I would be up for giving u a nice tour.

seems like sunday is going to be regular winter rides in squamish if anyone wants in.

so in a older pathfinder 4 bikes, 4 people and 2 dogs. it was squished. haha

I had no idea either. We came down to the road gaps because I was going to hit the one in the forest and the one table but my back brake lost all it's fluid so that didn't happen. But when I was down there this one guy said they were all coming down to hit it. Best day to bring a camera and video camera.

And Diels seemed a little out of it after. His crash was nuts. His tire dug so far in. Thank God for the safety.

Tue, 15 Nov 2005 16:36:23 +0000

Well - ended up at the summit around 1 pm (one hour for the whole climb from home to the top!)

It was really cloudy and wet. The poster at the summit was totally thrashed, so I packed it up and took it home.

Got geared up and zipped down the road to the new trail. Skipped the first gap/step-up (although it doesn't look that bad…) - and then headed down. Kudos to the trail builders - they have done some nice work. Fast - flowy - lots of hits and options around the really big stuff! SWEET!

Did SOB afterwards - these two trails work really well together. But be warned - its VERY WET up there - there were some spots where just touching the brakes sent me into an unexpected 2 wheel slide - woot!
(can't wait for summer to hit these two trails FAST!)

Stillgoing - maybe next time I will be able to go in the morning - unfortunately I had a problem to solve at work first!

Oh I forgot to mention they have 2 skateparks as well, if that's your thing. Polson Park is very easy to find, it's right off the road when you're coming from Kelowna. I don't remember the exact location of Kalamalka skatepark but it's somewhere on that road that goes down to the main beach of Kal Lake.

Fri, 04 Nov 2005 00:07:10 +0000

step 1: find a lightly lipped kicker like at a skatepark without copping.
step 2: learn to feel comfortable doin small hops out and then just trackstand or go super slow and tryin spinning by lifting both tires at the same time.
step 3: Your spin axis should be at your cranks/bb shell! practice
step 4: hit the lip at slightly faster than u wud to do ur lil hops out. lift both tires at the same time and pull vertically and use your legs to turn the bike and look where your spinning.
step5 : land 180 slowly sit down kinda, and pedal and control your balance slowly pulse the pedals foreward, this will slow u down a bit and give u more confidence and less momentum which leads to inertia which can throw ur rollout too fast… as u commit your front wheel to a side as u start to spin stand up and pedal foreward and turn out..

thats a detailed description of how i learnt

When I first started taking her riding in groups I'd ask the others to kindly not run over my dog but if she was stopped in the middle of the trail to nudge her with the front tire. She learned pretty quick not to stop in front of riders.

Mon, 17 Oct 2005 22:28:56 +0000

How do you get across the fact that the park needs to be Multi-Use, so that us bikers can get in?

I have been to 4 or 5 meetings about Leeside over the year and I wanted to see Leeside as a BIKE PARK but the community and users are dominantly pro skateboard. I have posted the times and dates of those meetings. Not very many Bike supporters have shown up. Now I'm hoping you'll take a few minutes to read the info on the survey and advocate Multi-use and specifically funding for Leeside. Maybe some day we'll have a Bike Only Park but small steps are better than no steps at all.

Thanks Paul.

I've heard that the Kokanee Glacier Park (Nelson) lower trails are rideable all year. I've not had the chance to find out yet though.

it would have to be a REALLY shitty snow year. A few years back the snow sucked and I spent a good 2 days shovelling out bike trails in March cuz I was just jonesing to ride something, a bike, a board whatever. I suppose I started higher up on the hill but still, I doubt it would be snow-free all year even at lake level

Ride Planning and Tales • me and a buddy at Ledgeview

Sat, 17 Sep 2005 23:11:27 +0000

Hey, do you know what the name of this trail is…I'll give a good description:

The start has a bit of a steep rock face and then a bit of a ways down there is a drop over some roots and to the left of this there is a rolldown…

Buddafuoco

then it continues as a fast, flowy singletrack trail

Paper Route

and there are some 5 to 10 foot gaps, and then there's a 25 foot gap, and then a wooden launch over an old 4x4 two-track about a 20 foot gap, and then just after that there is another wooden launch over a pit with a super nice tranny with an old truck tire as a casepad…and then theres a bit more singletrack and it crosses the road over to Speedway (the one with the wooden ramp on the right side of the access road as you hike up).

SO…what trail is it? I refer to it as "Ledgeview's top trail" because it's the only good trail that I know that starts from the top.

Paper Route bypass

XC trails along the Thames river are pretty fun too. Start at UWO and go south to downtown.

Byron (west end) also has fun XC rips along the Thames. Unless they've built houses in the last 5 years. Called Cains woods.

Boler Mountain in Byron did have bike trails open - the most hills you'll find out there. XC climbing and decending - no bigger than 100 foot vertical though.

Fanshawe has a 20 km loop around the lake. Pedal in on the north side of the lake and you don't pay.

Chris, I'm good to go now. Nothing like a sketchy encounter with the ground to keep it real. I took it easy for a few and it's did wonders. I sat out most of this week so I could do real work and it's been great. Sometimes a bit of time off the bike is just the ticket…

Fri, 26 Aug 2005 05:52:34 +0000

Ride was good just long and then short.

Got there late cause my neighbour got bear sprayed as he was getting out of his bosses truck at safeway on commercial and broadway. Some guys were fighting and one of them sprayed a whole bunch of bystanders. My neighbour was stubbling around the front yard so we turned the outside hose on him then took him inside and he showered for a good long while. If you ever get the chance to smell or touch bear spray, DON'T. Then I got a call from a fellow who found the cell phone he had dropped. I went and got it for him.

Went down town but didn't get there till 8ish so I wasn't expecting anyone but AXX was there and Rosscofat was supposed to show up but when 9ish rolled around we started to ride with out Ross. So we get to the library and James shows up on a fixy road bike and we talk etc… Then I pinch flat and walk home. Doh!

The new .243 fr frame is nice though and I will ride Urban tonite with James and some ( i think 4 -5 ) of his friends arriving from Victoria. They will also ride tomorrow as well starting at China creek early morning then go till 3-4 PM when they head back to Vic.

So East Vans going downhill faster than some of you and I've got to get used to a new frame but its all good.

Mon, 22 Aug 2005 21:49:46 +0000

For those of you that ride the lower trails - Galloway and Flywheel - on Burke regularly, there is a bear with two cubs in that area, so be careful as you ride. I saw her on the gravel road near Coast Meridian as I was heading home from a hike.

um hello,
local boy coming home tomorrow (tuesday) for the remainder of the week. i'd love to hang with the tri-geeks, but they won't have me. i've been away for a long time, don't know my way around that well anymore, so i'm gonna try some exploring - anyone free and keen for adventure?

i was also hoping to hit up silverstar at some point. and i've never ridden kelowna. or westbank. ready for enlightenment…

sounds like a sweet ride. If you're looking for some more variety check out fromme. Upper oilcan to espresso is on a similar difficulty level to cbc/corkscrew.

Also, take a left onto synchro's trail near the bottom of corkscrew, it will let you skip the creek and take you right to pingu entrance, plus the quality of construction there is superb.

Don't mind my bad humour. Most of the resorts do close in september which kinda sucks but september is one of the best months to ride. Its a little cooler and the weather is usually pretty good. The days don't start getting to short until the end of september. If you plan on riding in the Okanagan or Kelowna you can pm me for directions or possibly a tour.

Wed, 03 Aug 2005 05:15:58 +0000

I'm looking for 2-3 other people (cause my friends have no free time) to do a 7 to 10 day road trip from Vancouver (or Victoria) to whistler, sun peaks, silver star, maybe rossland?

Sometime in second half of August as i've got lots of time off. I've got a vehicle and room for 3 bikes (2 more on bike rack [HTML_REMOVED] one on roof maybe), I'm planning at staying at hostels, having a good time and spending probably 2 days at whistler, 2 days at sun peaks, 2 days a silver star and after that I dont know, but I'm flexible and just looking to discover new spots… We can share gas costs so major expense is food, lodging, beer and most of all lift tickets!
I'm an intermediate level sort of rider with a FS bike and I've been to Mt. Washington and several places on the island a lot but never on the mainland.
PM me if interested.
Cheers

Hmmm…favorite run would have to be Route 66. I can't really say I have hit all the trails though. I still have to hit up some of the black runs. My wife is still learning so we are taking our time getting her used to the blue stuff. She really liked Gummy Bear and also really likes Route 66. I am excited to try SS as I hear things are built alot different. More open and flowy.

Went down to Bicycle Cafe and I think I found what I want to spend my winnings on though. Looked at the Hope Mono6ti brakes. mmmmmmmmm…might be a bit overkill, but they look so damn hot! We'll see though. Have some other stuff I need to take care of first before I drop that kind of cash on brakes.

Fast,fast,fast. From the top to Berminator is totally perfect. So fast, it's incredable. Perfect dirt. SOB of course coulnd't have been better. LeBite me ( or Mikes trail as some call it) is fine, but the dirt is still loose in some sections. (that's where I did the ol' rag-doll dance.). Lost Oakleys - primo.

Big smiles all around.

I saw signs of a motorcycle on Lost Oakleys, though. Man, those things can do damage. It only takes one guy…..

If you need maps of the Island I've collected most of them here (the free ones that is).

For Vancouver, Gutsploder (which someone already mentioned) has the most update maps.

Local area bike shops are still a good way to go.

Ride Planning and Tales • Bend, OR locals?

Wed, 29 Jun 2005 17:46:16 +0000

Check out Prineville Adventure Park while you're there. A couple good DH runs in the works from what I've heard. If you're in for an epic check out the crater rim trail in Newberry Crater (caldera?). 26 miles long with two brutal climbs. You can section it off if you want- there are two epic descents that are well worth the climb. Also in Newberry you should check out the natural water slides that are carved out naturally in the volcanic river bed. Some company runs a BS tour of the slides but a couple questions should direct you to the location. I know that Bend has a budding freeride scene as well- the guys at the shops on the way to Mt. Bachelor are real friendly- try Hutch's or the Kona dealer across the street for some local knowledge. If your looking for dirt jumps, Vories just relocated to the Bend area and I know there's a track out there somewhere that he rides. Don't know if it's private or not… Check out Hood River if you're looking for some real riding though, their Post Canyon trail network is the closest thing Oregonians have seen to the shore- that's public at least…

No worries man we didn't get off fromme til after 6, the guy i was riding with has been off the bike for a while and was taking it ( very ) easy. Didn't get a call from you and he had frosty cold beer so we cracked a brew and had us a bullshit session.

I didn't really need a second mountain anyway after fromme yesterday for a run down 7th pipeline and skull and a run today doing 7th, krikum, lepard etc and back up for a UOC espresso lower crippler my legs were prtetty much done.

Wed, 29 Jun 2005 00:26:48 +0000

A buddy and I are planning a road trip beginning in Kamloops. We have 9 days and are wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what spots to hit. The only for sure spots are Kamloops, Nelson, Kelowna. Some spots we were thinking of were Panorama, Golden, Fernie, Rossland. We would also like to keep driving times reasonable ie. not driving for 8 hrs every night after riding.

On a side note we have locals to ride with in Kelowna, Nelson and probably Kamloops, but if anyone has any trail info on the other spots it would be appreciated. Even the name of a local shop that can hook us up with a map or a shuttle company would be helpful. Thanks

Also, the Kamloops Bike Park is opening that weekend as well, you should check that out.

Mon, 20 Jun 2005 22:13:00 +0000

It's possible that when the new forum was set up the 'no trail directions' rule was omitted accidentally. I'll ask Norman to rectify that.

This is a very important rule of our boards and one that has been on the books since the very beginning. I'm actually surprised you don't know it Brent since you are such a regular user.

To get around this just ask people to pm you with the directions you need and, as long as it's not a 'secret' trail you should get a response.

There are many reasons for not posting trail directions and one of them is the fact that people who are dead set against mountain biking on the Shore troll these boards regularly and would love to see us shut down.

Thanks to all involved for your understanding, maturity and commitment to the trails on the Shore.

Ride Planning and Tales • Late Night Urban Tonight???

Sun, 12 Jun 2005 00:57:39 +0000

well I was up for it but I got slammed at work and now I'm really sore and tired sorry man but I'd like to do the late night ride instead of the 7pm ride cause that's just to early.

We used to ride from 10 til like 3am when I was in Victoria and it's just so much fun cause there is nobody downtown to get in your way and you can ride ANYWHERE which is fun.

so ya I can't go next weekend but maybe the one after that we could try to get like 10 people.

Well the way I see it is like this:
The XC/All Mountian bikes will be kept to those sorts of trails, if there are any trails like that on Seymour:???: The Big Bikes will be run down the Shore trails. Simple enough I'd say.

As for the "sausage" bike, those were the Kelin Mantra's

Ride Planning and Tales • Whistler tomorrow (Wed June 1)

Tue, 31 May 2005 23:02:33 +0000

We (me and my bike) need a ride up to Whistler. I've got access to 2 or 3 free tix and would split the gas, too. I don't even need a ride back.

I'm pretty slow and would probably be mostly sticking to the bluish trails but I don't mind riding by myself at all if you wanted to split and ride something more sinister. Weather is supposed to improve overnight and they're even calling for a bit of sun.

I'll be confirming the freebees tonite, but wanted to get the ball rolling for organising a ride. I live in East Van, but could probably arrange to meet you somewhere reasonably close. Anyone game?

Pre-riding is for wusses.

You're taking all the adventure out of the race. Just jump in it blind.

I did that the first time I rode in it, and thought I'd gone off course in Crumpit woods because I hadn't seen anyone for so long (yes, I was slow). When I finally saw a course marshal I almost kissed them - except I would have fallen over if I'd gotten off the bike. :)

Ride Planning and Tales • Anyone need a ride to Whis for Friday the 27th?

Thu, 26 May 2005 23:59:09 +0000

I should be heading up to Whistler tomorrow. Tomorrow being May 27th. I have one tentative position for a rider and a cycle in my truck. Stipulations are as such:

- you must be inbetween Surrey and Whistler. Coquitlam and North Surrey are acceptable as well as out around Richmond/Delta.

- must bring a change o'clothes as I dont want your sweaty stinky ass stinkin up my truck. I have friends to do that :P

- gas money is needed. Given I have a ledfoot, I would like $20 for the return trip or a combination of 10 bones plus food (food = wendy's) or herbs. Also on the note of my ledfoot, please dont tell me how to drive.

Please reply in this thread. Also if its raining, it be advisable to bring a rubbermaid box type thing since my truck is a single cab. Also, if you're over 6'1, you'll feel cramped as my sub box pushes the seat forward a bit. Bring cd's to.

Hey all, I'm going up to Penticton again this weekend, and was wondering about trails. Last year I couldn't get enough of the Peat bog trail, but the relatives are getting older, and I was wondering if there was something a bit easier, but still shuttleable. I will be going into a LBS to ask, of course, but I thought I'd get some ideas before I waste too much of their time.

You'll learn way more about bike control and speed at Cypress! Cypress is steep, dusty, rooty, than anything you might find on Seymour. Definitely go with someone who knows her well.

Boo to Walk in the Clouds. Man that trail has some real potential but it needs to be fully rebuilt…

Good ride. Met a dude from team NSMB on Air Supply so that was good (cause I wouldn't have done it if I was up on the mountain myself).

After Fromme I pedalled myself all the way to Anmore to my parents' house… I am tired!

From Kelowna, yes, it takes 2 1/4hrs to get to Kamloops. But like you said, from Vancouver, coming to either City is roughly the same…4 - 4 1/2hrs from downtown Van to either City.

Rosehill alone is worth a day trip if you can do the driving. But you could also leave Van late, arrive here, sleep, rip Rose all day and then drive back. Better yet…leave Van in the AM, arrive mid-day, ride Rose till dark, sleep, ride Sunpeaks all day, drive back.
WELL worth it:)

I'm interested in 5th Horseman and SexBoy/FamilyGuy then maybe over to Seymour for something different like TNT-[HTML_REMOVED]DirtyDiapers-[HTML_REMOVED]Neds and if time exists for yet one more ride doing say Corkscrew-[HTML_REMOVED]Pingu-[HTML_REMOVED]Boogie?

I could do Fromme too (I live next to it thus my desire to ride the other two for a change). I sometimes hit all 3 mountains in a day for fun.

WOWzers!!! We spent the rest of the day there. It was super fun, and although there was mud, and water inbetween some of the jumps, the first straight, first berm, and secong straight were in fair shape so we hit those for a while. Good stuff. When it gets sunnier and a bit warmer I'll be going there, and to LaFarge, to play in my Jump skills.

I don't know about dirt jumps - maybe try the bmx track, wasn't Gary putting some in there? And it's indoor. But most trails should be clear. I rode Red Mtn today and there was no snow at all. Conditions were great, no mud either because it was all frozen. So Sumas might be clear of snow too. There were only traces up there at the lookout on Boxing Day. If it stays frozen, Vedder and Ledgeview should be really nice.

I'm thinking some mellow xc/flowing trails to hit, possibly ride sidwinder up, stop at the cabin for a few drinksies and a little fire to get warmed up, then continue up towards wildman/torrent for a true old school night ride. id really like to go for a new years eve ride, starting at around 10PM and going untill the wee hours, with a good break at the cabin in between.

Anyone interested in a night ride at The Woodlot. Be at the parking area at the end of 287th at 8pm. We will likely ride Gold, Blood Donor, Giant Killer and then maybe Snakes and Ladders or Hoots.

I will have 1 extra light if anyone needs a light.

So just show up at 8pm.

Sat, 27 Nov 2004 20:25:27 +0000

I've done a little cycling and a fair bit more hiking. its good, kind of XC, very out side the average B.C. prespective of mountain biking, but it's fun if you find the right stuff. hard to get to the trails from down town but worth the effort if you do. the new territories and a few of the islands are worth a look.

slightly smart assed remark is that if you want to freeride out side of B.C. you've got to think out side the shore.

Wed, 10 Nov 2004 02:38:57 +0000

well if we do them on flat ground, which you arn't but it is easier to explain my point if you are, there are basically two ways to hop and spin. the head leading is very important in both.

1) some peeps lift there front wheel first and rotate slightly (looking over your shoulder) and then hop and rotate the rest of the bike. I find this to be harder but it works for some.

2) lift both tires at some time. Turn into your spin a bit with both tires on the ground and then hop and spin at the same time. Depending on how fast you can spin will determine how hard you have to hop.

Hope that helps, good luck.

Tried to ride Caufield (spelling?) but too much snow on the road. So rode Knox instead. And wow, Knox was sweet! Nothing too difficult, until you start ripping, and damn there are some sweet lines. Managed to do some runs with a guy Ryan and his crew that all ripped, showed me around to some of the better lines. Cheers guys. :beer:

Sat, 02 Oct 2004 21:23:17 +0000

XC training? Lot's of trails available in March, but they can be quite technical (wet, rooty and slippery), and yes it'll probably be raining (but snowing at higher elevations - bring your skiis).

XC Trails to consider in North Van:
Fishermans Trail (up the Seymour River valley for 20 km)
Lots of trails on the bottom of Mt. Seymour (Bridle path etc.)
Road and path riding can be a lot of fun too in NV, with lots of little neighbourhood routes to be found that have walking paths

SFU (burnaby), UBC (vancouver) and the watershed (Delta) also have great XC loops that will be less technical, and guaranteed not to be snowed in.

Get a place to stay in NV, and you're riding distance to the trails.

drop a PM closer to your visit, and we can hook up.

Ride Planning and Tales • BC trip: do I bring my hardtail or dually???

Tue, 29 Jun 2004 16:14:32 +0000

Here is an update:
During that first trip this summer (the reason for this thread) I went down hard on Joyride and sprained my wrist. Didn't do much riding after that for a week until I got to the shore. So I didn't really get to enjoy whistler. Now I just got back from trip #2 and upgraded my fork (DropOff triple), brakes and grips on my hardtail and ripped the entire whistler mountain non-stop for a week. Here are my thoughts:

Everything can be ridden on hardtail at Whistler, even the clown shoes drop. The only problem I had was that I like a low tire pressure on the hardtail for traction/suspension and that sucks for jumping on high speed runs with washboard. I found it squirrelly on take off and would bottom my rims every now and then. Everthing else at lower speed was just fine, just rougher, hardtail style.

As a hardtail minimum, I highly recommend having the same braking and front suspension you'd find on a dually. This is what made my second trip much more enjoyable.

Finally, a dually would probably be even more fun, even though the hardtail was a blast and is great for skinnies. I'll try that out next year.

Till then.

Wed, 15 Sep 2004 18:54:21 +0000

well… it was nice to get out riding. didn't find too much in the shed. A few small jumps on Goats, some logrides, one with a slatted berm to a stepup/gap to another log was kinda neat, but i couldn't get the speed for the stepup :P by the time we went to the gravity bowl it was too dark for me to feel comfortable hitting that big drop over the roots to the right of the tree, but i had some fun bustin' off the little kicker and gettin' max speed, airin' up the other side :) We never found "Simons trail", i don't think, unless its a pretty steep one with about 3 steep ladders.. right before that trail, there was a kind of a gulley which looked like it had some big hits in it, but it was WAY too dark at that point to pick out any lines. Can't believe how fast it got dark… we got there around 6:45 and in the trees it was quite dark by 7:30 =/ There was a crew of about 6-8 guys all done up with lights, having some fun XC style. I need lights to keep this riding season going!

Ride Planning and Tales • faser valley???

Sat, 11 Sep 2004 00:36:30 +0000

1) no comment. All I'm familiar with is the DH course that I pushed my bike up.
2) Very little comment: Only been there once (same day as bear mtn.) rode one DH trail that started right at the main road division, on the left. (if that makes sense) Short, steep and muddy. (I seem to remember bailing good into a creek bed.)
3) More comment, but not going to ramble for hours: Sounds like you looked for Timekiller one road too early. Knob gobbler has little in the way of wood, but is still a fun ride. you CAN start up past the gate, but I've been starting lower down, at one of the tight switchbacks. There's loads of good trails there, but many will require a guide or VERY good directions to find. Try Noah's fear.
4) And finally Ledgeview: I imagine you road Berminator - that comes out into a subdivision… but that wouldn't lead you down to the start again.hmm. Anyway, Berminator and LeBite me do NOT lead to back to the start. I'm thinking of GPSing the entire trail network one of these days. Why bother 'cause it'll all be gone soon? Why not. Posterity, I guess.

hey, there's a reason behind that.

i questioned not bothering with this post because of that, it does look rather silly and elitist.

but, hey, i am an elitist old-school bitch, so i don't give out trail names or locations, esp these gems. and what else to show visiting friends but the shore's gems :)

Does the idea of 2 weeks of every day bombing down 10,000ft vertical decents on crazy single tracks, in the South American Andes appeal to you? how about finishing off those two weeks with a Meagavalanche race (mass start downhill )? How about if this was some of best trails in the world and almost undiscovered?

One of the reasons the riding is so good in the Kootenay's is because it isn't on a map. I don't mean that it keeps the trails exclusive, I mean that it gets people exploring and asking questions. Pretty fun huh.
If the string you saw was thin and white it might be from a forester mapping out something. They use it to measure distances. The stuff is brutal to pull out of cogsets and hubs.

We hit crankwork first for 2 days, then Sunshine Coast for a day.
Then a 6 night trip:

Hope, Revelstoke, Golden, Nakusp, Nelson, Rossland

Kicking Horse was a long ways up with AMAZING views. Mt 7 was ultra fun!
Nakusp was amazing singletrack.
Nelson good, Rossland better!

Perhaps someday they will spend some money on that heinous road. I will not go there whether for skiing or biking because nothing depreciates my car like the road to Hemlock Valley. Perhaps if someone else wants to drive, then their ride can take the abuse. The road has literally not been changed significantly in 20 years. Ya, it's a long road and paving the thing would probably be a king's ransom, but it would also move that place into the present era. I know I'm not alone here.

wear your sun screen and your glasses public parks are blinding… better yet Plan a ride indoors and support your local riding scene so it can surrvive the summer … new sound system and some new ramp additions are up so is a 28x75 foot wall … you can book the park solo or with some friends pretty much any time = open every day at noon = call ahead ….. we are also going to offer deals to bro -card holders soon and we hope that you plan a visit to our bikes only ramp park ..coming soon is a new 8 foot tall 8 foot tranny /old school vert ramp to blast big air on = so stay tuned …and thanks for your support big thanks to all the shops that put up our poster and gave cards out we will be having a special day for you to come in for free with your own crew….!

Ride Planning and Tales • Quadra Island trails

Wed, 23 Jun 2004 03:47:02 +0000

Hey… i went on a fishing trip there (April Point Lodge) the last 2 summers in a row…. Rented a cheap CCM bike from the lodge and went out to Rebecca Spit. We found some nice singletrack on the way there. On the way back, the bike broke (didn't have any tools) and it just so hapened we came across this random bike shop some guy ran outta his house only like 1km down the road heh. He was kind enough to lend me the tool I needed and wouldn't even take the $5 i offered him for 'rental'

He had built what appeared to be an awesome trail, leading out of his back yard… I'd definately look him up, he'll be able to point u in the right direction as far as the more technical trails are concerned.

Otherwise, here is EVERYTHING u need to know about Quadra Island Mountain Biking :P

http://www.quadraisland.ca/adventure/mountain_biking.html

Oh… heading up again this August, but we will be staying at Painters Lodge in Cambpell River instead of April Point…. Will definately be taking the shuttle over for some of their fine Sushi over there!!!! :D :thepimp:

P.S. if i bring my bike(s), i'll be looking for riding info for Campbell River!

Ride Planning and Tales • whistler, woodlot...

Mon, 21 Jun 2004 17:04:00 +0000

so i took friday off from work and we made it a 3 day weekend.

Friday early up and we went to whistler. it was basically empty. blue skies, no lines, and great times. we did a warm-up on b-line, then hit up a-line. i did a-line once and that was enough. that trail just isnt for me i guess…but hey, whatever :) so there were others to play on.

whistler downhill was a hoot! i love that trail. we also sessioned the jump/drop park for a while then finished down lower joyride…also a great trail. and of course we did schleyer and dirt merchant a few dozen times…

the glc drop was alright. i dont know what i was expecting from it…but yeah…best part of that drop was watching people eat shit coming off it…now thats amusing :D

saturday we did a semi-long day at woodlot. trails are really dry and flowing well. sunday we started early, and a few friends were supposed to meet up with us from the states…yeah they flaked…so we did a few extra runs and called it a day in order to have a bbq.

the one thing that annoyed me was when we were sitting where a-line and world class single track were next to each other…some guys ripped out the closed sign and said "i paid my 40 bucks, i can ride what i want". yeah thats great :rolleyes: hopefully karma caught up with them.

overall, awesome weekend.

Cypress, for me. is the cats ass!!:eek: 5th horseman, Roaches, sexboy, gives me the SMILES!! Did Sexgirl today. Buddy went over the bars 3 times today down that trail. Never laughed so hard in my life. Thanks,Mike!! Four Lost Souls, Fat Bastard , etc. Also make me smile. Every once in awhile, I love built up stuff. Eagle does it for me:D Super great flow and just alotta fun!! Great trail to learn on to do stunts. Nothing too big for the intermediate rider who wants to go a little "bigger" than Seymour. Fat Bastard is awesome for speed. Kinda needs work, but super fun. Props to the builders up there:)

Sun, 06 Jun 2004 21:28:37 +0000

contrary to popular belief there are very few drops on the shore.

you would have to go hunting to find the big"movie: drops as they are usually one stunt wonders in the woods.

the shore is more about natural nasty terrain linked together with tight wood work. I have taken noobs down CBC with few problems.

**I'd be into a local ride.

Can't really justify the drive out to ride bear… unless you also do red or the stuff above the DH run if its still there. **

Last time I was out at Bear there were pink signs up about the area being closed during the week except for the Bear Mtn trail due to road building. It looks like they're logging in there too, lots of trees down along the road below Jolly Rancher and the one to Bigguns.

Jolly Rancher is still there, but in really rough shape last time I was on it (a couple of months ago) - the stunts are broken in a lot of spots, and the lower route out is disappearing. The higher route (less twisty) was clearer.

Bigguns is in decent condition, I rode it on the weekend. I'd forgotten how far in it was. I haven't been up to the trails around the radio tower in a long, long time, so I can't say what those are like right now.

The Red Mtn xc loop is in decent shape, there's a big work day for that one coming up either this weekend or the next to prepare it for the race. One section at the top, just after the bridge, has been logged, but they've roughed in a replacement.

The DH course is really good right now.

Those are the only ones I know about. Hope that helps. :)

i can ride 100% soon, i was playin volleyball and football etc this weekend with little to no pain (for a large part of the time) so i think im about there. it's really lame…if i broke it i'd feel a little more manly but as it is bitching about muscles seems rather lame. so i'm getting anxious to ride some bicycles.

Spruce isn't reall a great freeride place anyway. The established trails are all pretty much xc in nature. Even the descent from Lorna is way better on a light bike than a freeride pig. I like using the plane to fly the beer and sleeping bags in to camp, but still pedallin the distance. A time and place for everything, right?

BUT, I do have the goods on an interior heli-ride…….

Sweeet. if soloing was allowed for the race I would do it on a hard tail. There's no big drops. It's a little rocky in patches where you'd have to pick your good line, but the Leopard trail is rolling fairly technical XC which your HT will rip across.

I have decided that it would be pretty cool to get some of you guys out for a nice group ride. Maybe hit up Cranbrook, or Pidherny? I know Bjork and Freeride would be in, and more than likely the rest of you's will make a showing. I have a truck that could fit about 5 bikes in the back, and I can fit 2 people in the truck, and more in the box….so a shuttle it would be. And I would be the one filming and taking pics, watching you crazy fuckers huck yourselves:P

Lets get this goin, hasnt happened yet in PG, a NSMB Group ride is way overdue.

Ride Planning and Tales • woodlot, seymour this past weekend

Wed, 24 Mar 2004 19:06:24 +0000

Indeed it was a great 4-day experience!
IFO am also looking forward to seeing that log-line, The Dude. We were briefly dumbfounded as to why the runging was so close, yet not done. Broken tools would be a good reason.;) I don't know what Sean is talking about, I made it over the broken ladder on the 1st line:lol: - he was riding a little reserved, no doubt. Tomorrow is another day for sure.
I can't thank Cory, Tina [HTML_REMOVED] Ilsa enough for their hospitality - especially since they never even met me prior, yet took me in for 4 memorable days. And Sean and Chelsey for the invitation/abduction/inspiration as well!:D
Cory was a champion trail-guide for us - never let us pass an option w/o letting us know it was there.
I :heart: all builders out there, but I MUST bow down before those responsible for Platinum. That is a trail that does nothing but inspire me to raise my skill levels w/ an urgency.:|
All in all, I could not have asked for anything more…:D
Rear brake lever aside, I dusted my rear rim w/ a nasty flat-spot right on the weld:eek: 6ft drop to rock (surrounded by nice dirt tranny which I conveniently avoided). New wheel by the weekend.
NO FLATS!!!:D
Jordan (Optional)…sorry we couldn't hook up on Sat. to ride - shit happens/happened - but, it was good to @ least meet you on Mon.:cool:
Judy, we ( :usa: ) are everywhere because we like to be in everybody else's business except our own;) Not to mention that there's as many of us in the PacNW as there are in your entire country:lol:
Damn…can't wait to get back.

There are many technical XC trails in Whistler. Thrill Me, Kill Me and A River Runs Through IT are a few of my favourites. Become a member of WORCA (Whistler Off Road Cycling Association). There are many great XC riders that go out on group rides (one is a sponsored rider from Giant and she wins every XC race she attends) - but it's all for fun, and for the love of riding.

Check out their web site

There are hundreds of trails in Squamish as well, about a 35 minute drive south of Whistler. Enjoy.

I am trying to plan a Utah trip this spring and it sounds like my buddies will probably have to bail. Regardless, I am itching to get back down there - super-fun freeriding terrain. So I figured I'd post this to see if anyone else with similar riding preferences (big bike) might be into it. PM me if you're interested.

incidentally, i took it in, and it doesn't look like major damage at all, just bent the hose connector going into the master cylinder and losened the bolt so the oil leaked out. its getting a full diagnostic at the shop right now. **

NICE, its always good when your gear isnt as broken as u first expect….

if i get over to the island for a day trip i'll def have to have u show me the finer riding in your area….

I work afternoon shift this week so any morning is cool as long as I know the day before ( although I usually check here at around 7:30 am) The only stipulation is i have to be back at my truck by 12:30 so I can make it to work on time. I usually start a ride around 9:00am to give time for a decent ride. Let me know if this works for you.

I'm from Germany and work for a company which has a subsidiary in Ramsey, NJ.
Next year, sometimes between April and September i will be there for six weeks. I'm wondering if there is any possibility to ride Downhill or Dirt and if there are some bikers I can ride and hang around with?

The question is: Shall I take one of my bikes with me or isn't it worthwile?

I ride a Tomac Magnum for DH and a NPJ Budda Singlespeeder for DJ.

For the people on the east coast, and would want to meet up and do some riding, show us your local scene for a day, etc, etc reply with your location so we can make some plans and traveling route. Its just an idea as of right now, but i figured id post in here since the majority of us all share the same style of riding.

well not your fault anyway, it was his first time riding the log, and it was especially cold that day with freezing rain, so he slipped in the open sky section, front tire went down, placed his foot out to catch his fall and shhlop! His bone broke and popped out, then he smacked into the tree face first and went flying onto the ground….and stayed down. We found him right after it happened. Hey, if anyone heres about this from some guy who "lent" his sweater for the cuase to keep him warm, let me know, i still have his sweater lingering around here all washed and ready for him.

Chris, so you know, it wasn't anythng you built, or didn't build that cuased the accident. See you on the 26th!!!

i didnt get much riding in, but i was doing so trail work. i got super hot and sweaty at the start cause i knew what i had to do, but after the first hour i slowed down and got cold from being a tad wet. anyways it was a not to bad of a day to be out there, saw a scarce rider and a couple of trail runners out and about it was good. hopefully this weekend i'll get some more wood up to a drop that 'Shore Ryder' was working on(a schleyer style drop, near the pville ds course), and maybe get it down so i'll be stoked to rip it up. anyways good to hear a few good stories from the riders.

Anybody interested in a ride over Thanksgiving holiday in NC? A buddy and I are talking about an assault on Black Mt. in Pisgah and maybe hitting a couple of other trails in the area. Camping and biking sound fun don't they? Plus there's a great Mexican resturaunt ten minutes from the campground. Or we might do Tsali, just depends.

Well, I really can't comment on the division between road/mtb locally, since many of the people I know tend to have both types of bikes in their garage. Suffice to say that if you arrange a road ride on this board, it will be with an mtb'er, so everything should be cool.

If you're looking to do century-type distances, then you should definitely hook up with Lee for some distance riding.

5 compressed vertebrae, that sucks. Personally Ive fucked myself 2 summers in a row now and the injuries are getting worse.

The neck was really scary cause I couldn't breathe for like 20 secs and had no feeling whatsoever below the neck. On an interesting note I actually thought to myself "well if I'm gonna go at least I'll pass out from lack of oxygen first" and then I was able to start gasping for breath.

My brother in law had a simillar experience, he crushed a couple vertabrae, up in his lower neck are, C5 or 6 and had a big problem breathing for the first little bit. He has actually doing the chicken for a few. Scared the shit outta me. Boy did I ever catch crap from the wife and her sister for taking him out biking

Ride Planning and Tales • Ride from Point Gray to North Van

Fri, 12 Sep 2003 23:53:29 +0000

I'm looking for a lift up to North Vancouver, cause I don't have a car.

So I figure I've got two ways of getting there: someone will take me with them, or take the time to ride up there. Well the latter isn't too inviting so I was wondering if anyone lives in the Point Gray area that could give me a ride up to North Van w/ my bike. I don't really need a drive back, I can always ride back, but I would really appreciate a ride up.

I'm new to Vancouver and a relative beginner as far as North Shore riders are concerned and I'm not working right now so my schedule is wide open and I can't get enough of biking =). Theres only so much I can do around here with daily trips to Pacific Spirit park to keep myself in shape and practicing my drops off anything I can find, but my experience is quite limited. So if you're headed up to the North Van to work and can get me close to Seymour, or especially if you're going up to bike and you've got room, give me a shout.

Also are there any people who live in the Point Gray area that make regular trips up to the North Shore?

I'm willing to travel if it would make it more convenient for you.
I can cover gas!!

Ride Planning and Tales • where NOT to stay at Sun Peaks

Tue, 19 Aug 2003 01:35:31 +0000

hey

anyone that's heading up to kamloops to sample some of the sun peaks riding i would recommend steering clear of the Heffley Boutique Inn.

there were 4 of us up there this past weekend and no one was impressed with the service and hospitality….or should i say hostility.

my girlfriend received a promotional fax at her work advertising "3 days and 2 nights for $99". we wanted to check out the lift served at sun peaks so decided to take advantage of what seemed like a good deal. when i phoned to book i was informed that there was a time share presentation one had to sit through to get this low price. the ad said nothing about this but i figured what the hell, 90 minutes for a good deal is probably worth it. told a buddy from vancouver island about the deal and he called and booked a room for himself too.

when my friend arrived there he was given a hard time by the time share presenter who without asking had booked him for a presentation while we were going to be riding. duh!

when we arrived at 11:30pm with another male friend who was to stay in the room the owners were shocked. "he's supposed to be a woman." what the…? no one ever said anything to us but they only wanted married male/females to take this "deal". i called B.S. and said it was ridiculous that in this day and this place-a place where same sex marriages are allowed-that they would have such a narrow minded policy. they were reluctant but did let our friend stay. but the owners continued a policy of making up rules as they went along and were less than accomodating on a number of fronts.

like when we found out our 3rd day ended at 11am on sunday. i wanted to be able to have a shower and clean some of the dust out after a day on the trails before driving 5 hours home. at first they were going to help us out but we had to move our stuff out of the room. then they changed their minds at the last minute and told us we'd have to use the community centre. i told them-among other things-that they obviously didn't understand the activity of mountain biking and that their advertisments were misleading and false. to me ANY night at any hotel lets you stay until 11am and that does not constitute another day of your stay.

there was more but this is long enough. i'm sure there's plenty of other great places to stay with some good deals (can you say "FIRE SALE"?). and the riding and the folks at Time 2 Ride were all fantastic.

have fun in kamploops!

Thu, 07 Aug 2003 21:03:19 +0000

There aren't supposed to be any stunts anywhere, but I'm sure some of the neighbourhood kids have built a few things. The problem is it's all off the designated trails which gets the GVRD parks people's panties into a mighty big bunch. You'll just have to keep your eyes open.
Parking just off SW Marine on Camosun St. isn't a bad idea. If you ride up Salish to the central part of the park it's a very gradual climb. And then you can come back to the car via Clinton or St. George's which are both pretty fast.
Parking somewhere along 16th Ave. west of Blanca puts you right in the middle of the park, which is nice too.

As an aside, there is a proposal to build a DJ park on the old (now contaminated [HTML_REMOVED] useless) reservoir at 16th [HTML_REMOVED] Trimble. The idea is to give the locals somewhere that they are allowed to do a bit of building to keep them from defiling the places they shouldn't be in the first place.
Apparently, the proposal is approved in principle. It just needs to be put forward formally [HTML_REMOVED] to do that, the people involved are looking for a show of support from the community. The good people at West Point Cycles (10 Ave between Alma [HTML_REMOVED] Highbury) are collecting signatures. So if you're in the area, drop in [HTML_REMOVED] help out by signing. I know this is pretty off topic, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

He's 9. but still, yes - it is a long way.

I'm not sure the distance, we were figuring it to be more like 30K each way. From Kits to Metrotown, riding fairly hard and steady, with only one stop for Gatoraid and one stop in the mall took us 1:45.

It was excellent. The ride directly following the skytrain route is more fun, but coming back along Kingsway was a nice, high speed burn. There's a section where all the trees have lifted the sidewalk into natural ramps - makes for a nice, flowy ride.

your bikeshack link didn't work, is that a shop in hope? are there other shops that I can look up while I'm there? and can I just look up either of the bike shops for vedder mountain in the phone book while I'm there? (I'm guessing fracture products is a shop)

anyways, thanks for the info. **

Dam - looks like the link is down. Keep checking back

Fracture Products is here.

http://www.fracture.ca/ ask very nicely and maybe they've got a group ride going out THey are very fast guys though so be warned. That's for Vedder.

I don't know the Shop in hope. You'd have to phone around. Same for the bike shop in Vedder. You'll have to phone them

I would say that the xc type trails in the Princeton area are nice but require lots of going up so if you're not into that then I would give them a miss.

Hope that helps!

Ahh sweet day to ride. Did a couple runs on Nicole's. Bokinator, Thanks again to your Dad for providing the shuttle. No way my Dad woulda done that when I was a kid. LOL. Sorry Lady Gravity, Bok and I both had to be finished by around 11 AM so there was no chance for us to go later. Would have liked to have you along though. Next time perhaps…I usually only ride weekends as I have my kids during the evenings when the wife is at work. So if anyone wants to go on the weekends just PM me.

Greetings, first post here from an Albertan!! I'm coming out to Vancouver at the end of July for some vacation time with the family, and I'm looking to get some riding in as well….problem is, I'm not into the very cool North Shore leaps and bounds type of riding…I can watch it for hours but my bike and my body won't let me do it.

I am into serious long distance trail riding, with some difficulty, and some technical twisty stuff, and I'm sure that exists out on the west coast…question, where exactly is it and how do I get to it?

Umm, I'd like to say I ride up but that would be total BS. We shuttle it mostly. I've only climbed it a couple of times but I really don't remember how long it took. Maybe 30 mins, 45 mins max. Just climb the first one and hang at the bottom for a ride on the second one. Someone with a truck will give you a lift.

Its a huge job and all us volunteers have jobs that take up a lot of our time, we try like hell but stuff slips by.

People don't visit here as often as they could because too many people can't be bothered to post in the correct forum. This is why we nuke rather than move them…It is a very simple request and we have a dedicated forum for ride planning, and it isn't any extra work to click into it.

Report poor posts and we will deal with it. We don't determine the content any more than users like you do. :) **

Ya, but then I would feel like a hag. I prefer positive flow - so I'll keep posting in Ned's Thread (thanx for the idea).

I've reported a few - but not to you. Can't be bothered anymore. You do such a fine job. :D

Plus, as we all know, signing that liability form doesn't hold up in court, trust me. If you broke your thumb there, you could sue and most likely win (I SHOULDN'T Have said this but it is true). Personally I believe that the resort needs to find a way to back up the liability problem in another way.

good old liability. i dont think there will ever be a real solution as long as people overestimate their abilities and then blame it on somebody else.

PS - im not bitter :D **

well actually - I sat on my ass here till one - good call. And Jeremy gets here at two - we go to Diamondhead and rip it up. His dog almost dies to heat exhaustion. We have to take it easy to get her down - even though exhausted, she tried to catch every grouse she smelled and takes off into the bushes religiously. But I wanted to go later, cuz you said 3 - but he wanted to get back down into the city to film Donahue, so he couldn't wait. My bad.
Then I stop in at Tantalus - on the hottest day here this year, their water wasn't working. Because the boys at the shop always treat everyone the best - I decide to take over some beer and precede to have a bunch of cold ones with the boys at the LBS. Perfect riding day - except I forgot to PM.
"Gardening" is just a word I like to use - apparently "cleaning guns and writing my manifesto" just isn't cool to talk about these days.

Count Blah,

I ran across your post, and felt it would be appropriate to respond.

This year I will definitely be filming with locals.

I do not expect everyone I shoot with to be at the pro level in order to get into the video.

Naturally, the most talented locals have the best odds of making it into the main body of the film.

However, the up and comers still have a chance to make the bonus sections of the DVD that will be reserved for footage of local riders.

Even though I am limited to time and space on the DVD for the main body of the film (approx. 40 mins), I am going to try to include as much footage of as many locals as possible. I will even be using a larger capacity DVD in order to include more footage of locals in the bonus sections.

Count Blah, everyone is invited (including you) to come out and participate.

Just got back from Whistler and Saturday was a really good day of riding. 70% of the trails were open and they were a little muddy in some sections but nothing to worry about, other than that it was fabulous.

Rained Sunday oh well, was too hung over anyways from partying till 6am. I have never been to a bar where I was outnumbered 10 women to every guy…no shit. All the staff working there were amazed too. they said they have never seen odds like that. Ususally its a sausage party so Im glad all you rain wussies stayed home …heh heh.

Ride Planning and Tales • OUch broken bones

Mon, 05 May 2003 22:36:18 +0000

I dont even know why i read this message board..just to freak myself out. I hate thinking about breaking bones from biking.

I havent broken a bone mountain biking yet but saw this guy in Whistler nearly tear his foot off his leg after landing funky flying off a table top. His foot got caught in his frame as he was sliding sideways. After seeing that, I got too cautious and stopped doing drops that day.

Past broken bones not from Biking:

1) 13yrs old: trying to be a ninja, I attempted to break a wooden board that must have weighd about 10lbs and 3" thick. I shatter all the bones in my right hand…hurt like a SOB. I didnt try that again until..

2)16ys old: trying to be a ninja again I busted my other hand repeatidly punching some goofball in his thick head

3) 17yrs old: playing Rugby and runing down the field with the ball just about to score when some schlep nailed me from the side breaking 4 ribs and one rib ended up puncturing my liver.

4) 17yrs old: Rugby again, but this time it was some guy on my team as we were running towards an opponent top speedand nailed him at the same time around the mid section . His head was down and mine was up…His forehead crushed my nose to a pancake at about 25mph..knocked me out cold and had to get reconstructive surgery….fricken a-hole

5) 2 weeks later the same teammate (not playing rugby) was showing me some ninja move and accidently broke my broken, recently reconstructed nose….fricken a-hole

I got him back next season in practice, he was running towards me with the ball and I hit him so hard I knocked his 2 front teeth out…(wanst on purpose) but I had a good laugh anyways as he was lying on the ground bleeding and screming in pain…fricken a-hole.

we are still friends and havent broken anymore of eachothers bones, eventhough sometimes i want to…fricken a-h

It's all mostly rock so you probably want the dually. Porcupine Rim is a good trail(4 easy miles up, 11 miles down). Check out Bartletts Wash (I think thats the name) and ask about the DH courses. Summer sucks in 100 degree weather - we drank a gallon and a half of water per person per day when we weren't riding. Try Fruita Colorado next door if you got the time.

there are about 5 or 6 individuals or groups that build in the shed and maintain regularly . Next major trail day MARCH 29 , 10:00am @ PINEWOOD. Come out and you will meet lots of peeps
Keep up with Shed news on the sacred shed thread, on the shore bb. Post up there to hook up with other local riders etc. Other trails in the area are few and far between. There is some stuff out at stokes pit in langley but I don't know what as I have never been there, there is also the south surrey bike park at softball city in whiterock.

It's not just gas. There is wear and tear, repairs, tires, oil, insurance, etc.

When you own a vehicle, the first thing you learn (usually the hard way) is that people paying you $5 to take them across town is a pretty sweet deal… for them!

$3/shuttle run is a bargin. Don't be such a cheap bastard.

Seriously though july and august are best, june and sept can be awsome…or not…. you run the a greater risk of rain.

my advice is to stay in squamish, it will be cheaper and put you within easy driving of whistler and the shore

Old school4eva. Nah, just an excuse to not learn stair gaps. Thanks for trying though. Maybe by the summer I'll have it down…or maybe not.

But you have to admit, that tail tap stair gaps could become the latest thing:D

I've ridden St. George, Utah its about halfway between Moab and Vegas. Fair amount of cool red and black rock riding with some fabulous scenery, although somewhat in the middle of nowhere. SLC has some decent riding up in the hills/mountains near the university and the white house (some government looking building). They also got the world's coolest basketball team, Jazz rule!

Ride Planning and Tales • Biking In Cancun Or Mexican Riviera

Sun, 16 Feb 2003 01:31:00 +0000

In short, no, it's not worthwhile for the following reasons:

(1) The terrain around Cancun is flat as a pancake for as far as the eye can see. Unless you're a trials rider, you probably don't need a great bike while you're there.

(2) The airport in Cancun is tiny, by US/Canadian standards. There's a good chance they'll mishandle/break/lose/steal your bike box.

(3) How much riding would you really do? It's almost 30 degrees during the day. The water sports there are amazing - water is bathwater warm, clear, and blue. Snorkeling/scuba is awesome with corals and tons of fish.

I do know how you feel about wanting to bring your bike. I'm usually riding twice a week and I get really antsy when I go on vacation. Last year I was in South Africa and went to some effort to go on a guided bike ride. In then end, the ride was nothing spectacular and the rental bike was crap.

If you still want to search out some rides, you can start with Google. I quickly found this: http://www.ecoyuc.com/bicyclead.html

Have fun, and let us know if you end up riding someplace interesting.

Let's pull the context of the Shore out of this equation and see what it yields. And for sake of argument, I'm not ruling out getting dumped off by boat, plane, train or rotor equipped vehicle to assist in getting out into the thick. Does that help the idea engine a little?

Ride Planning and Tales • Hey Ontario Riders!

Tue, 28 Jan 2003 04:36:28 +0000

Hey folks!

Our team is looking for a female rider to compete in 24 hour and 12 hour races for the 2003 season. We'll be competing in the co-ed division. Main races include the 24 hours of summer solstice at Albion hills, and the 24 hours of adrenalin at Hardwood. We will also be racing O-cup
cross country and some other shorter endurance races. Two of us also plan to race downhill, so if you're multi discipline, even better!
The team members include sport and expert class racers, and we're in the process of working out a sponsorship deal with a major gym that may
pay for race fees and swag. If you're a sport or expert class racer, and may be interested, (and are not a man) then e-mail us. We're all
25-28, but would be happy to race with a junior, vet, or masters rider. We're based in London Ontario.

Fri, 17 Jan 2003 21:04:58 +0000

A couple buddies of mine just got some nice bikes and we're taking them up to their first ride on the shore. We'll start with Ned's and then see if some steam is left for another run.

It'll be a shuttle, so if anyone has a vehichle and would like to join us (sorry, we've only got enough room in the cars for those already confirmed) PM me. Or maybe just show up and look for a pack of Brodie HTs (I'm about 6'5 and ride a 2002 evolution with SuperTs).

It'll probably start at 11pm at the riverside parking lot.

Sun, 22 Dec 2002 20:12:37 +0000

Well, I have news! Good and bad. He broke the 5th vertebrae (last time it was the 3rd) and he has to be operated but there is no damage to the "Spinal Medula" (the thing that enables you to move!).
When we were on the mountain, we got pretty worried, 'cause he couldn't move his left arm. It turned out to be broken… uuf!!

So now he has to wait for the operation (not a good time, christmas) and after that he has a long recovery in front of him. Let's just hope it's painless (not very likely, but…).

So, a Merry Christmas to you all and never forget to take a mobile phone to the mountains!! You never know…

What WannaBCanadian was saying, albiet rather harshly, is one of the long standing rules of this BB. You simply don't post directions to trail. Email each other, IM - what ever. Just not here, in public.

Thanks
