MTB Atlantic - Fundy Summit

Who is going for the MTB Atlantic Summit? Anyone plan on riding Fundy or Hillsborough on the 6th?

Wish I could, alas, must work.

@rolls, @jetter and myself will be there representing ecmtb.

We do not know where or when we are riding. I think the plan is to feel it out and jump on what ever group ride that suits our fancy.

Ok. Iā€™ve been invited and may go up after Elgin, crash in Moncton and Ride Hillsborough in the AM depending. Iā€™d assume itā€™s a nightmare to find somewhere in Fundy.

Last time I used Air BnB but @Mattcasey303 and I apparently let too many mosquitos in when we left and are banned from that spot.

I booked a spot in the Fundy Highlands Motel. Iā€™d try there. Just close the screen door behind youšŸ˜‰.

This is why I want a van so badly.

But if youā€™d like company Sunday let me know. If I end up staying Iā€™d rather ride there than Fundy. :tipping_hand_man:

Last I checked there were still some otentiks available in Fundy NP.

We had some interesting talks thursday and today.

I think Saturday is going to be a blast.

Fyiā€¦ you get a nice beer mug and stickers with the $15 road trip fee so def worth it.

I won the give away, but Im guessing after Elgin Iā€™ll be tired and in need of a shower haha. Likely going to motor back to Truro and get a locals ride going at Wentworth or Gore. Iā€™m very undecided, but it will be glad to hear a summary at some point!

That pump track is epic. Made a point to bring it up many times at the Railyard consultation.
