Hey all,

It has been swell... This blog has been at it for 10 years. During that time, it has recorded a small snapshot of bicycle and volunteer related content from the lower mainland. --However, the time has come to discontinue service... Thanks to anyone who stopped by.

Let's end this blog with another final chapter... A few photos of the extinct 604 pumptrack... all taken from the same spot, (up in a tree)...

(For anyone who may be looking for the dirtwest bikepark company, They are at: dirtwest.ca)

Little Shredder surfacing

The City of Surrey teamed up with some from volunteers last week to resurface the green flow trail: Little Shredder in Invergarry bike park! No more bumps and rocks poking through the trail. Most of the trail has been capped in crushed gravel to smooth things out and increase durability. The nice thing about crushed gravel is that surfacing material can be material added on top and it will adhere really well. It rides great and is only on rollers and not any berms or corners. The decision was made to use it over the clay-loam due to a lack of moisture in the soil on site at the time of the volunteer event. With no water at Invergarry summer building is tough to do.
