It's honestly just across the river, like five minutes. Probably some of the most technical riding in the province.

yeah no problem, "Anything is better than Nothing" is like the Saskatchewan Slogan so get used to it lol:P and it's pretty much inside the city, but it's got a decent grade and pretty tech stuff, sand, branches, roots, creeks so, as far as sask riding goes, it could be worse, alot worse.

Awesome now to figure out where I'm staying and how far I am going to have to pedal nothing like some millage on a dirtjumper to build up your endurance.

LOL so much for moving to Canada and riding perfectly manicured north-shore trails I guess the word prairie should have been a dead giveway Big Grin

the ride there won't be a problem really it is pretty flat (hence the prairies lol) except for like one BIG Hill/street once you get into town. so hopefully you won't have to pedal UP that on the way BACK.

I'm from North Battleford, and here, we really have nothing for riders except a singletrack trail. The trails called PeeGee man, it's pree decent, but thats all we have.

Anyone know if theres any Dirt jumps near The battlefords? like in stoon or something.

Depending on what you're looking to ride, there's tons in Saskatoon. I've done 40km XC rides where the only pavement I've touched is crossing bridges. There's 2 decent public DJ spots in saskatoon, and countless others that aren't as well maintained. Blackstrap has a trail network that is better developed every month and Diefenbaker has IMO the best singletrack in the city, although the construction is quickly wiping that out. It's all about just coming to the city and stopping by one of the shops where we'd be more than happy to point you in the right direction or even take you to some spots.

Just to save people the time of driving out there, Villa is an absolute swamp right now. It needs atleast another week of drying time.
