Cape Split/Kentville Area Dec 31 Saturday

Hey everyone. I am planing a ride on Saturday at Cape Split or the kentvill area depending on trail conditions. Looks like we will get a small amount of snow on that day so hopefully the trails are good. [poll public=true]

Are you doing some trail recon for us so we’re not heading out onto a trail-destroying slog through a mud pit? :wink:

Da missus is a bit unwell, so I’m still a maybe for now.

Blomidon was snowy today and frozen in the bits without snow. Bird Sanctuary in Kentville was stellar today. I will try to scope out some local conditions tomorrow.

I think im up for it. What time and where? fatbike or skinny?

@riderx @shadowfox70 and @IanM_MTB if we do some stuff in the kentvill area and leave from the shop how about we plan for 5? @riderxyou would be leading us. Does that work for you?

I can be in Kentville and ride-ready by about 2:30pm. I don’t have studded tires (YET), but can take 2 more people and one skinny-tire bike, or zero more people (and two skinny bikes) if a fat bike is recommended. Would love to take the skinny bike, conditions around Line 24 and parts of Spider were great today!

I will check out the trails tomorrow am. I imagine either bike would do, but fattie would be a ‘safer’ bet.

I can lead np. I’ll try not to be too slow! I have a few things to do in the am, but ready to go whenever you can make it down.

Would you prefer Cape Split? Or something more around Kville? Have you ridden Woodville?

For me, I’ve ridden some of Gorge (remembrance day ride that you led), and have hiked Cape Split and am keen to try biking it. Never heard of Woodville.

ayt fatbike then, i would choose to go wherever that has a nice view for pictorials on my new bike :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:.

@IanM_MTB I would be ok with around 2:30. If that sounds good to you guys we can aim for that.

I’d like to have at least a little sunshine on the ride. We need our Vitamin D! Depending on the trail report from @riderx, I guess we determine if we meet at Cape Split trailhead, VSC, or other?

2:30 is good.

I think woodville would be a good ride. More diverse terrain, and a good view. Meet at the shop, and head out from there. HIgh enough elevation for some snow and perhaps crustier trails.

@riderx do you have a low pressure presta gauge I might be able to use for a sec when we get to the shop?

Of course, np.
