Well thanks to a certain someone we got directions to a full on DH trail. I just wanted to say that if you happen to ride this trail sometime make sure your prepared for one of the burliest trails around! We headed out there around 4pm which was really stupid because we didn't really know where this place was or how long it takes to get to the trail head. Well we finally found it only it was near dark, especially in that forest and there was fog settling in. I had fixed my bike up from the trip to Whistler the day before and forgot to drop my seatpost back down from raising it for the stand. I also did not bring all my tools for the first time and for the first time I actually needed em. Needless to say my friend loved it and basically left me hiking in the dark to get out of there because my seat was so jacked up that I felt like an xc racer. I tried to ride it with the seat near my nipples as I made my way down but it became to dangerous in the near pitch black setting with no light that I just decided to hike it out. It was a rather frustrating time but from the cursing and kicking and b!tchin' on my way down I did get to scope out some seriously sick terrain that has to be ridden again when prepared.
A few things from this experience that needs to be noted:
1. Make sure you got your camel pack fully watered up and all the tools and supplies you need before every trip to a new location.
2. Make sure you know how far and how long it takes to do the ride.
3. Never take the friend who just keeps going till the trail is done, especially on a trail that has some serious repercussion's if your alone.
4. Get directions that have numbers incorporated into them, not just "take a left at the first road, go till you see pot holes, hike to the falls, start looking for trail on left" type of directions.(not trying to offend the person who gave me these directions)
Ok, off my frustration box.
Anyhow, trail is sick, full on double black diamond (whistler standards) and somewhat long for once. Props to the builders!
