TAAHIRWP Posted January 24, 2014 Share The new double black... Don't let the vid fool you - those berms at the bottom are TOIGHT!!! the first section of trail, before the guy with the URGE helmet and white MTB baggies seated on his bike appears... seems like it has more flow, less rocky sections and more berms than the upper 2 canaries. Looks SweeETT I see the B-lines in in the forest area, but those jumps dont look half as bad or intimidating. Maybe different when i do get to ride it. and RIDE IT I WILL DO!!

beanz Posted January 24, 2014 Share Don't.... if you there, do the climb...you will be rewarded! I did end up going by that way but it looked like that section was closed today. At least I think it was this section. Steep downhill, berms and jumps. I was a bit bummed as I had walked up it and checked it out, as part of my lost in jonkers experience. Had to go across to canaries and go down there. Overall lovely place to ride. Pristine environment. Enjoyed the trails. Well worth the trip. Favorite for the day was that descent from the fire hut trail, from that tight hairpin switchback turn down. Amazing flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted January 24, 2014 Share Why do you say it was closed? There are under constructions signs up but they're always there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bunch of guys going tomorrow...maybe try again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanz Posted January 24, 2014 Share Why do you say it was closed? There are under constructions signs up but they're always there. There was that red and white striped tape across the entrance to the trail, and a sign to that effect as well. I also thought of ignoring it.

There's a bunch of guys going tomorrow...maybe try again.... Not from the bottom, just some of the way. Enough to see that it looked quite grand. Don't worry I'm not feeling too sorry for myself! I had an awesome days riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's open tomorrow. Oh, well we can always just klap the yellow birdies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCH Posted January 24, 2014 Share Tape and sign was to say you enter at own risk as cape pine is busy logging that section- no issue after hours or if you dont hear a chainsaw running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoBoshoff Posted January 25, 2014 Share That was a pretty sweet morning on the bike! Up and down Firehut, up the Canaries and down one level, then up to Bennet's to Flow to home. Solid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
