Is anybody coming from Bedford/sackville area? I have never been there before and would hope to catch lift from wherever might work for the driver

I’m going, and can get there alright, but I’m not sure about getting back home. Anyone heading back to Halifax afterwards that could give me a lift? (I live in the south end)

I am also in the south end and do not have a car but would love to come along if anyone is going there and back and has space. I can also bike to and from rotary if that helps?

@Krysta, I usually pickup @nathan at Tim Hortons at corner of Bayers and Connaught: https://goo.gl/maps/kBgkUifXkiN2

If you can be there at 6:20, I will have room for two more in addition to Nathan. (truck with a gate pad).

Note, I usually hit the post ride beverage / wings meetup too.

@TuffRider, I and drop you off at same spot if you don’t mind the trek to the south end from there.

Hi Jeff, thanks for responding!

Yep I don’t mind making the trek, I can get there for 620 and do not mind hitting up post ride beverage/wings. My number is 778-980-0325 to text in case tomorrow.

Thanks!!

I sent you a message :slight_smile:

@JeffV Great, I’ll probably take you up on the offer. I’m new here; where’s the post ride beverage/wings meet up?

We usually hit Montana’s at Dartmouth Crossing simply because we know it will be open and serving food.

Did anyone get any video footage of these trails from the ride?

I’m nosey to see how the trails look!

Not sure about good videos of Spider Lake, but here’s a good one for Fight trail, which is probably the most unique trail in the area: https://youtu.be/xQgSLllI9uk

Lots more of Fight trail on YouTube if you search for “fight trail”. You can also find stuff by searching “Whopper trail” and “evil birch”. No specific recommendations for those.

Amazing, thank you.

I’m really looking forward to coming out to Halifax now!

I have some Spider Lake footage on my YouTube channel. Here’s a couple of examples: https://youtu.be/17i9zVAMaOg
https://youtu.be/Aj4EX3KGRak
https://youtu.be/D5QgIwneaa8 (Nighttime, so harder to get a feel for the trail, but it’s one of my favourites in that system)

Have a browse through, you should find a bunch of local stuff. My videos aren’t as gnarly as something Rad Chad posts, but shows a bit of the trails and I often have a laugh at my own expense. Enjoy!
