Hi Folks
I'm a rider from Whistler and i'm coming on the island this week (for Work)
i'd love to ride in Cumberland, but what's the best trails for you?
Please help a brother out who's dreaming of testing the great trail network of Cumberland (too many times mentioned to me as the best trails on the island)

Thank you

Kind of depends what you're looking for ... Cumberland is not as steep as Whistler or the Shore, but there are nuggets available. A good advanced loop is Old Wood, Blockhead, Numbskulls or Cupcake and then into DCDH, Shock Therapy. For more flowy stuff try Field of Dreams into Blue Collar to Railroad, Crafty Butcher, 2 flats, Bonestorm. Just a couple options to try.

If you're looking for more natural stuff, hit up Forbidden Plateau.

Seasons are changing, and with them so will our DH venue. I'm new to the island, so I'm looking for people to shuttle provost with. Hit me up on here or DM if you're interested.

Reaching out for any beta on dispersed boon dock camping around Cumberland? We have a capable truck with a truck camper that is fully self contained. A spot near a lake would be ideal.

There's a campground on the lake right there as well as a few incognito options. Just look for Van's.

Find a spot and camp.

Most of the area is gated up fairly well and somewhat restricted due to the fire danger at the moment.

Might be a long shot but anyone know any shops on the island with any dh bikes in stock? Planning a couple later season bike park trips and would rather not beat the shit out of my trail bike anymore.
