There were lots of big smiles while out trail building today.
The forecast says big rain and wind warnings for the next 24hrs, which means it’s not the best time to be out on the trails. Old weak trees are going to come to rest and buckets of rain water will flush through the forest and creeks. It would be a good time to leave the trails to endure the weather storm alone. It’s also a good time to get ready for Mount Washington’s opening day later this week and fingers crossed this storm will bring lots of fresh snow.
Please report any trail issues or storm damage on trailforks with a pin and a photo for reference.
Stay safe everyone.
Take to the trails with 80 pages of trail name stories and trail building shenanigans. The UROC book is out and available at all Comox Valley bikes stores, Western bike co, Foveo running and the Gravity Garage in Cumberland. Get it quick while stocks last.
New Trail Alert: Rugburn Connector – RBC
A connection trail tipped as a climb line starting close to the southern end of Lost Toque and leading up to the Entrails/Rugburn junction. It’s a short trail of 280m meandering up 14m of grade to deliver you to the beginning of Rugburns north end. Originally mapped and installed by Mike Manara with the intention to provide better connectivity between trails in the area and create more options for hot lapping surrounding trails close to the Village. RBC has similar trail characteristics to Lost Toque and is designated blue square rating. Although the main intent of RBC is a climbing trail, it can be used as a two-way trail to and serves as a better option than climbing the forestry road. Built on Manulife Forest Management land and originally sanctioned in 2021, the trail is now open and ready to ride. Enjoy everyone.
New trail alert: 2Pack too Cranked.
A progression trail tipped as the bigger, longer, pumped up version of After School Special. You’ll find the trail head close to the start of 4Pack and 6Pack in the Skills zone. 2Pack too Cranked has multiple berms and turns, lots of humps and rollers with small pops nestled in for some hints of airtime fun. The trails intention is to develope your riding skills at whatever pace you choose to go and will likely be loved by the kiddos on their little wheels. Volunteer trail builder Tracy Howlett-Cooney, otherwise known as @one_cranked_girl put in the hard yards on this build and has stuck with the project since the trail’s inception in 2020. UROC trail crew led dozens of Cumberland Community Schools Society ride-dig-ride sessions with the kids helping build many sections and fun features on the trail. Thanks Tracy, the kids and trail crew for your hard work. 2Pack too Cranked is built on Manulife Forest Management land and rated as a blue square trail with a Gravity Trail designation and is 517m long over a 36m descent. Enjoy everybody and we look forward to hearing the hoots and hollers from the new trail.
