Well I'm in Victoria for the weekend, and I wanna do some riding sunday, but I have absolutely no clue where to go. My ship is pulling in right near downtown. I wanna do some more extreme trail riding, not quite DH or freeride, but some fun singletrack and with some downhill section's. I'm a downhiller but I only have a Giant NRS with me, so some good fun downhill singletrack would be awesome. It'll be me and one of my co-workers maybe one or two more. Alright thanx in advance for any help.

the USS Decatur, where is the skate board shop at? or the skatepark?

If you have a way to get out there, check out the Hartland trail network. It sounds like it would work pretty good for what you are looking for.

Don't expect a warm welcome at the skatepark

The only place you have close is Hartland Dump, which is about 15 minutes out of town. Hit any bike shop and you'll be able to get a map, and some directions to the decent trails. You may also be able to hook up with someone in the parking lot to ride with. Oh and you can't shuttle there, so be prepared to climb.

If possible try to get to Duncan or even Courtenay to ride.

I've been building. Shameless plug...

Is Mt. Work still open? That place used to be very fun. Goldstream park?

Mt. Work aka the Hartland Dump is still open. The Highlands (which I think you mean by Goldstream) was closed down a few years ago because they put in a golf course.

There was also some great riding in Sooke, but I heard the city took a bunch of stuff down recently.

A trail in Harbourview was decommissioned by the CRD. Broom Hill is all good though.
