Hi all, I have posted the schedule for the June 26th ride. We were scheduled for an XC day on Galbraith, but unfortunately, a lot of the trails have been shutdown or significantly altered due to logging. A decision was made to move the day to Squamish. In keeping with the XC themed rides from Galbraith, we only have XC rides scheduled in Squamish.

Expect the advanced XC ride (XC/all mountain) to not only be a step up in fitness over the intermediate ride but also technical ability. In other words the group will be riding [color=red]very fun [/color] black diamond trails as well as covering some good distance. Those that have been riding trails like Severed D on Seymour or have done The Plunge in Squamish should have no problems with the ride. There are definitely no issues having to walk sections if you need to but for the flow of the group being comfortable on technical terrain is a plus. I'm all for progression of rider ability (I learn new things every time I ride) so if you're wanting to step it up a little join the group on Sunday.

See you then.

Any word on what the beginners ride trails will be? I've only done some of the easier trails like Wonderland, White Rabbit & Roller Coaster. I dont want to be holding back the group.

Not sure at this point, it will depend on what Rob and Ken are familiar with and where they start from.
