I had this on my mind today. What’s everyone’s opinion? ---

Anything at Wrandees if you limit yourself to the original 1 metre width of singletrack. ---

Wrandees definitely popped in my mind. Also the beginning of Flat lake Loop before going up to Halifax Rock. I’m assuming flying in the air and being on a skinny 50’ in the air is not included. ---

The “Neil Route” through Wrandees. You can always count on it to destroy you even when you feel that you are at your strongest. ---

Technicality: 1. Gords Gold then do Lake loop reverse. 2. Ebirch 3. Flipside reverse, death march and Suzie q 4. Any NS Mtb Race against time. ---

Wrandees for tech, no doubt. Gord’s is challenging. Evil Birch going in is tough, fitness wise if you push. ---

Define “hardest”? for someone super fit, but with only mediocre bike handling skills, a really steep climb may not even phase them, but they will be challenged by a flat technical trail. others will fly over the tech, but find the steep climb very hard. ---

Both physically demanding and technically chalanging. ---

_Through Hell and Back_ at Grey Mountain is a pretty tough trail. I think trying to find the toughest is obviously going to be very subjective. ---

Yeah, Hell and Back is probably the single hardest trail to clean without a full on heart attack, huge climbs that keep coming and a nasty awkward rock garden in the middle. ---

I guess I should have worded the question as “ what are some of the “hardest” trails in Nova Scotia”. It’s to specific as is. Thanks to everyone that has left a note. 👍
