We building at willow road now, its in the baakens so we can rush there after work and ride for 2 hours. Loads of fun, about 01:45 long.

Bout 4 of us that ride together, there are more guys riding but we havent met them yet, we just starting out.

 

Then there is Woodridge and longmore like Thermo mentioned. We need to up our skill level before we head to longmore.

 

Here is a pic of me getting 1 foot of air...

Lookos fun ...that down there along Marine Drive by the Willows I guess? Or by Willow road?

I'd be keen to ride Willow Road next weekend sometime maybe, whereabouts does the track start?

[Guest eyecandy]

Im from PE....is it not a dangerous area along marine dr btw the golf club and willows?

[Thermophage]

Ye, lank dangerous...although I still go fishing there occasionally, but u usually have a bunch of fisher people there with you and then it's OK.

But I think that track is the one on Willow Road going from Circular Drive to William Moffet?

[Guest eyecandy]

o there...ok! So where can i ride my mtb when i go?

[Thermophage]

Baakens is fun, there are a few cool places, but ride in a group and go tubeless..there are bazillions of those devil thorns everywhere

[Guest eyecandy]

Im tubeless so it's ok. Will have to find a grp, will b first time there with the bike.

A storm blew that tree over, so its kinda a new addition at the end. Its full on tree, if you hit that you wont get up soon...

 

The Trail is near Willow Road, just off William Moffatt.

Here is a overview of the little track, first half before crossing the main road is all pedalling, nice hardpack with berms.

[Thermophage]

Man I can't orientate myself as to where that is...The big road doesn't look like Willow road...not straight enough
