Biking (Mountain ) 2:00:00 [2] 13.0 km (9:14 / km) +500m 7:45 / km
shoes: Instinct (2020 Feb overhaul)
Roberts Creek / B&K area between Sechelt and Gibsons
Up Black Tower, Swoopy, Dudette, Susie O Street.
Down i-Trail, Cross Over, Up ‘n’ Over, Mach Chicken, Brodie, Roadside Ribs, Ribs.
Nice climbing in beautiful forest. Sometimes cart track width or so but still pretty and forested. I-Trail and Mach Chicken were quite good and fun. Mach Chicken didn’t quite seem to be the black diamond that it is rated; maybe a dark blue at most, except one built drop onto a slightly steep slope. Mostly lots of fast swoopy curves. Brodie was littered with rocks sticking out of the ground. I would opt for something else but nothing else connects in this area. Roadside Ribs was really nice. Loamy and seemed like a newer trail, nice flow, I just wish it was longer. Ribs was decent too but Roadside was best.
Would have liked to add another loop of something but the trails here don’t seem to work well for multiple non-shuttled laps. The next best options took you on traverses toward Sprockids etc and then didn’t have a great alternative trail for looping back.
