Iā€™m keen to go up if I donā€™t have to drive by myself. Anyone around North End / Fairview interested in carpooling?

EDIT: Now have room for 2 people, leaving Fairview area around 5:30pm.

Well that was fun. Thanks for the ride everyone, and special thanks to Mike, Bruce, and Jeff for the encouragement and helpful coaching tips! Only one tree hug and a few moss tumbles, and I was able to stand up from bed this morning :smile: Beautiful evening to be on the trails. Success.

Thanks for a great time folks. First time to Victoria Park and out for a group ride. Special thanks to the fellas who split with us to take an easier route. Really appreciate it!

Glad you enjoyed it, @Yinx!

With a group of 21 people, a split is always good. I often jump on the chill group myself.

Those Truro folks like to hammer. Up in Halifax, I find we donā€™t often get an open stretch to hammer on. Weā€™ll take 'em on some granite tech and get our revenge, Iā€™m sure. :slight_smile:

Itā€™s funny, Iā€™ve seen a group of 20 split into 4 fast, 16 chill and vis a versa.

I guess it depends on the group and how people are feeling that day.

Thank you again sir! Youā€™ll be amused to know Iā€™m still walking like John Wayne. Huurting! Loved every minute though.

Talking of trails, can you suggest any around Halifax, Bedford you feel might be to my level? I plan to get out quite a bit over the next while to try and gain some endurance.

We don;t have anything near as flowy as Vic park. However,

9 Mile River (when it is dry).
Norawarren and West Pine are good.
Irishmans Rd. has a lot of fun.

These can all be found on trail forks.

Shubie park crusher dust is good for churning out kms and has the occasional single track in there.

McDonald Sports Park is good for grinding out some gravel doubletrack that isnā€™t too technical, and has some fun (though limited) singletrack too.
