An appreciation post and big shout out to the volunteers and trail crew members who have been crushing it out there. We’ve always got a lot going on and recently it’s all gone a bit bonkers with fallen trees, and keeping trails drained and clear.
Thanks to the trail users who have avoided the trails during super wet times, and thanks for sending us pictures and pins (best via trailforks reports) of trail hazards and problems. Keep’em coming!
UROC strives to ensure memorable trail experiences for all.

All done, the Vanilla cafe, Starbucks, charging station, chairlift, yoga studio is complete and it’s actually called the Mosaic Hut.
Built to provide trail users with shelter from good old BC weather, be it rain, hot sun or winter snow. Found at the top of the climbing trail this project was seeded 20 months ago. Since then UROC set about ‘making it happen’ and brought together amazing support from our local community.
Huge thanks go to @MosaicForests for the land agreement allowing us to recreate on the lands and providing the beautiful lumber for the structure.
Thanks to @mountainbikebc for helping us fund this project and believing ‘we can do this for the trail community’.
Huge thanks goes to all the local businesses that supported us in making this happen.

Meet UROC Executive Director – Dougal Browne
Dougal joined the UROC team in 2019 as Executive Director. Dougal’s career path started in the British military, then going on to attain a Bachelor’s degree in construction management and then spending many years immersed in the action sports industry in South Africa. His interests beyond hard work are surfing, riding bikes, and an insatiable passion for trail construction. Dougal hails from Scotland, was raised in the middle east, and has family ties and spent many years in South Africa. He has volunteered in non-profit community work and chaired a nonprofit housing project in Durban, South Africa. After emigrating to Canada over a decade ago he founded, built and developed a mountain bike trail network on the East coast of Vancouver Island which is the island’s best (or worst-kept) secret. Dougal enjoys family life with his wife and two young boys living just south of Cumberland in the Comox Valley.
As Executive Director, Dougal is responsible for further developing and implementing the UROC trail management and maintenance program while liaising with multiple land management parties and overseeing the Land Access Agreement. He will continue to develop community activations, community engagement, and support communications and media platforms. He will also be responsible for the organization’s events and races, sponsorship, funding and public relations programs, and other non-profit management duties with the support of the UROC Board of Directors.
