Forbidden is definitely tight (even though I have only rode it once.)

THough the gnarest is the Rhododendron this weekend. Anyone out there going to ride it? If my stitches look good I think I will, although the 7 hours it is likely going to take sounds kinda long. I haven't rode a whole lot of XC, but apparently this new course is supposed to be the easiest it's been (as compared to the Robothaum (sp?))

My friend was telling me about this relatively new trail on Doumont with some pretty decent sounding stunts- apparently built by some guy from Gold River?

Gold river, you got options of what ever you want, scout has huge 30ft structures, skinny ones, berms, bluffs, etc. Antler has XC/AM, and M3 has a sick down hill shuttle run littered with stunts, theres also the dirt park.

I'm Assuming a Fawbert? the only other 2 people I can think of are either working on M3(or working) or else not really residents here.

No, but I have seen that vid Brother, and have heard that there is some pretty awesome riding- it is one of the places on the Island that I really want to ride (along with Mt. Prevost.)

Trail day at comox lake dam parking lot on April 12th at 10am. Bring your own tools and there will be a lot of bridge work so hammers and nails are nice. The work will be on peckerhead.
