What's the trail like? We're thinking of doing it Saturday. I hear it's a nice climb to get to the top.

Is it a big bike trail or will I be alright on a Specialized Enduro? I'm not to crazy about doing a super long climb on my 43 lbs Stinky.

It's a bitch of a climb! Why don't you PM me, and I'll hook up with you, and we can shuttle whilst I show you some other good trails...

I just read about it in my Mountain Biking BC book..... was rated difficult, only due to the climb. Your Enduro will be fine on it... you wouldn't want the 50lb monster on that climb... its a little ring grunt the whole way up

Thanks guys. The Enduro was the way to go. We climbed from the parking lot near the Canadian Tire. Would not have wanted to do it on my Stinky.

Power Smart was great.

Were you with a group of riders, and then had to wait at the parking lot for a friend of your group's that was shuttling? Cuz if so, that was me you were talking to.
