Is there a dress code? Will the beer cart come through this area?

Might want to address that in the ECMTB Facebook post, same with Mountain Bike Halifax and Bicycle Nova Scotia all saying it’s also happening on Friday.

The link doesn’t appear to be working anymore. Or at least direct to the event info.

@bent6543 I’ll wait til they make it official. In case they change their minds and go back to two days again. Lol

@TravisA assume they took it down to fix the dates.

This might be a ridiculous question - but how close are the trails to the golf? Hahaha I’m having visions of riding with rogue golf balls flying by :joy:

A good chunk of the trails are on or near the brown/dirt area on the upper part of the map.

Rogue golf balls could be a possibility in some spots, but I think that’s probably unlikely.

Adds to the extreme factor.

What a fun time!

Here is the only shot I took though. Zoe riding a tame section:

(It killed me to duck out on the post ride free beers and hot dogs too.)

Some bro-dawgs might say it takes balls to ride certain trail features🤪
Just make sure you’re helmet is multi-impact and your argyle is on point and you’ll be good to go!

Man, that was fun! A small area packed with short trails but such a blast to ride. Can’t wait to see what else they have in store.

When does it open for regular hours?

Thanks.

17

Saturday morning!

Do you get the access pass when you pay the $5

19

I assume so. Last night was free though. The staff at golf shop did seem to be briefed yet either.

Note that the $5 fee is for one hour of riding additional time is at $2.50/hr…plus a whole regiment of other fee possibilities. Seems over complicated to me.
