what's the XC.AM riding like out East? I can't help but think that it'd be epic. Old mountains, intense rock formations, lotsa roots. Sounds like a good time. But are there well established trails? I've got family in Cape Breton and around the East Coast so I'm hoping that one day I can come out to Newfoundland too.

From what ive ridden... Nothing beats Wentworth!! Its before Truro NS.. It has the greatest riding ever!! Allthough its not open full-time during the summer, only on select "ride weekends"..

Theres also Keppoch Mtn. close to Antigonish.. Havent rode it yet but ive pretty good things.. Heres a vid that a few buddies put together..

Hey thanks for the quick reply. Those trails in the video looked awesome. But they were DH. Not super agressive DH though, maybe I'd be up to it. I ride XC in Southern Ontario, there's very little DH and not very many hills where I'm from.
Also I probably won't be out east for a few years and none of my relatives out east ride so I'd have no one to go with.

Truro NS has alot XC trails, talk to Bruce at Hub cycle, he could hook you up with more, but I would say Victoria Park(which is located in Truro).
