Comox Valley Mountain Biking Forums and Trail News

when for a muddy/snowy ride today. Rode: 2 & a juice, buggered, shaker, entrails, soggy biscuit, black hole, orange peels. The mud was pretty bad but had a lot of fun. No trees down and entrails is shaping up nicely, love the dh section at the end.

Managed to get out to Tied the Knot today after 3 weeks off building with Steve Tucker and finished the wooden section on the hill.

Props to Steve who did all the lifting and hauling. Thanks bud.

Looking great guys. 

Thanks. There is more like this to come on this trail.

Yet more pics pasted from Pinkbike as I can't work out how to post 'em here:( My fault...

Steep section is now cleared        Old logride entry before.....                               After.                                         During.

The logride entry bridge will be re-slatted and the lower easy bridge is the old riser bridge onto root. Still slippery but covered with roof tiles and it will do for now.

nice work on the cleanup.  scenes like that before pic can really give mtb'ers a bad rap.

You're so right! I have met about 20 walkers on this trail, a couple even tried to haul their stroller and baby through there!!! That has been the hardest part of this trail reno, making sure that there is a footpath next to each and every stunt. Sometimes it's a bit tight but they can still walk through, maybe not with a stroller though. Most have thanked us for the work and this attitude will give mountain bikers a good name. It seems we are like the trail stewards around here.

Out again today...

For Universe and his cedar fetish. Thanks to Dylan and Derrick who donated this pile of the good stuff and the nails for half the work. Cheers boys.

Squiggle in the middle...

We couldn't get to the official trail day (hope it went well) but got into Tied the Knot again and built a bridge across the stream at the bottom of the steep section.

View down trail                   Rock entry            Wide entry because it's on a corner.

Got some saw work done in an after work session with Steve and Shane.

  Drop to banked corner            Line out of corner         Shane scalping old logride           Plenty of slats here.

Tied the Knot trail will be fully open on Saturday May 10th, 11am. Please come and ride it and give us your feedback so we may tweek it if nessesary. We will be there most of the day sessioning it so we hope to see you all there!!

Been kinda busy on Tied the Knot lately...

    Logride entrance before...                     Now.                            View back up trail              New bridge to logride    

         Optional rollout from....           New drop called 'Bones'           Dovetailed stringer joints.

It's getting real close to completion now!!

Tied the Knot is now finished, as most people know and has recieved very little negative feedback so go ride it!

Enjoy the trail all and thanks for the support from cvmtb and Simon's Cycle, Black's Cycle, Mountain City Cycles, Trail Bicycles and Dodge City Cycles for the swag. Cheers to those who helped rebuild it and respect to all the other builders in the woods...thanks for letting us play.
