Trail proposal


We had a meeting recently with our contact at the City of Surrey, Jay Meneely and Nadia Chan. We are working with Jay on a plan for the proposed bike park at Invergarry Park. We are still waiting for the environmental assessment to wrap up. Jay tells us as soon as the assessment is done, we will be able to hold an open house in the early New year to put the idea of the park up for a public hearing, if there isn't opposition to the idea, the odds a very high that we will get a bike park at Invergarry. While we await the results of the environmental assessment, we have proposed a downhill pump trail similar to Half-Nelson, seen here

Late summer

Finally some riders on the new stuff in the woods. Good news, it all works and works well!
Here's some blurry cell phone pics from today:

Rain has finally arrived at the coast. In fact there's a rainfall warning posted for the area. We've taken advantage of the weather and put in some work in the woods.
Here are some photos:

pump tracks


The 604 trails and pump track were flattened in mid-summer. I'm sure a new pump track will pop up somewhere soon, until then here's some videos.
