We haven’t been to Empire Trails (aka Gore) in a while. So let’s take advantage of the extended daylight and hit some of the finest singletrack in NS.

We checked in with @MichaelB and despite the rain, the trails should dry out nicely by tomorrow night.

Where: Empire Trails - off Hwy 202 in Gore
When: Tuesday, June 26/18 at 7pm
Difficulty: Beginner/Intermediate

Notes: There is a $5 (cash only) entry fee, which helps support the building and maintenance of these fine trails. Bring bug spray. And a post ride beverage of choice.

  • Going, see you there!
  • Wish I could, maybe next time.
  • Maybe, I’ll let you know.

Hey sorry to keep asking but if I can grab a lift from rotary I would be keen to join

I can’t make this one.

Any update on whether Gore will be open for riding tonight based on how much rain we got yesterday?

13

We held off on choosing a location until we knew for sure the rain was going to taper off and drying conditions would be good today. Once we knew that we checked in with Mike Blois and he gave us the green light for today.

If he decides later the trails are still too wet, we’ll let everyone know as soon as possible. Otherwise we’ll be there as planned.

@Krysta or anyone who wants a lift or to carpool: I have space for two bikes as long as you are willing to trust my canadian tire trunk hitch bike rack. Would be good to pay back the karma after getting rides from others over the years.

Mumford rd tim hortins parking lot is a good meetup spot. Pm me if interested.
