We just made some changes to our mountain bike trail info, check out the Trails link above for more info, and maps for various island regions. Additionally we have added new a new Trail Conditions forum to update trail status in the regions.

Looking for gifts for the mountain biker in your life? Check out our new online clothing store or our Amazon.com Bookstore.

Trail Status

Snow has put a damper on riding locally for the moment. Will update when the lower trails are clear. Approx 1ft at the top of Two Sheiks. Upper Cumberland is probably close to the same.

Are you busy working or living away from the Comox Valley Trails? You can still do your part and make a donation towards trail building on Forbidden and in Cumberland.
