Title: Epic Bike Rde
Post by: Blown F-150 on May 03, 2016, 12:06:24 AM

Tried a couple of new trails on Sunday. 3 mile hike and bike to the top, killer decent, but a 2 mile hike and bike back out. I was completely wiped out at the end. The whole trip was 5 and a half hours.

At my age, I'd be using a Mountain Trike.  :om:

Maybe he could pull you behind in one of those little kid tow-behinds.

It was a neat trial with some very, very steep sections. From top to bottom, you drop 170 stories! But we have so many trials that are easier to access, I don't thnk we will hit up this one often.

I should have ordered the pics better. Bottom is looking almost straight south. The middle Pic is facing west and showing Seymour Mtn. People are still skiing on it. Top pic is facing SWS and that is actually downtown Vancouver in the distance.

I would love to visit Vancouver.  I almost got the chance years ago but it fell through.

ugh,

So jealous.   I have always wanted to visit BC just to Mt Bike.   

Thanks for posting this thread, amazing photos!

I've been there three times. Once (about 25 years ago) to ski at Whistler-Blackomb and twice more recently on business for Kodak. Beautiful country out  there.
