Hey everyone! I just joined pinkbike.com. My first order of business for me is to get proper full suspension bike for this up coming season. I enjoyed the YEG river valley trails this past summer and fall on a crappy bike. Next step is to hit up trails with anyone who is in the local area! Let me know if you when your going and I'd be happy to rip up the trails with you!

What are the best fat Bike trails in Edmonton? Not really into riding icy hard pack walking trails.

For fat biking it depends what you are looking for, but I typically just ride the single track I ride in the summer.

Average Difficulty: Easier
The trails in http://www.trailforks.com/region/mill-creek-ravine/ have been riding really well.

Average Difficulty: Medium
I heard that the http://www.trailforks.com/trails/go-trail/ is riding really well and it connects Terwilligar which should be good and the trails south of the Henday which are always fun (Mustang etc.)

Average Difficulty: Harder (but not difficult)
This is a great route: http://www.trailforks.com/route/eastern-causeway/

That's the point! Shovel it out so there is still a bit of snow down a see where it goes from there

I finally moved into edmonton.. I know the big old drop in Millcreek eroded, but is there anything similar in size around.. if I remember it used to be a 12 by 15 foot drop ish depending on how big you went. Also where is the best natural terrain in the city.

Agreed. We will be working on ass over tea kettle soon. I rode it today and someone must have wrecked or pulled the little drop out of the ground and it tipped over as I hit it and caused me to eat shit. I'm hoping to turn it into a shark fin and make things bigger and better on the trail.
