Has anyone rode Cypress lately? Thinking of heading up there for the first time in a few weeks. I'm just curious if you can shuttle the whole thing and what shape the trails are in. I'll be checking trailforks shortly but if anyone has any new info, that'd be great

cheers

We shuttled the east side trails (Jersey Shore, Mystery DH and Meat Sweats) last weekend. They are in awesome shape. The top of Meat even had some tacky/loamy bits with tons of grip. Bit looser lower down. Builders had worked on all 3 this spring so they are running sweet. Those trails have almost no pedaling and the start/end is the shuttle drop/pick-up as you can see on Trailforks.

I have not ridden the stuff on the west side of the mountain but you can definitely shuttle it all, I understand it's more oldschool/tech whereas the east side is fast fall-line DH bike friendly with jumps.

Hey - I need a regular weekday night ride buddy - fromme with lights - 7th, lower oil can, espresso...mid range black trails by night. Anyone have lights and want to ride on the regular? I'm game to go in about an hour, then next week on whatever days work for you, but I'm looking for a tuesday and friday night ride crew, every week.

Again - I'll meet you at fromme at 8pm tonight to go ride if you are free.

Noob here been riding bobsled lots lately. Want to try something new on Fromme. Tried Floppy bunny. Was pretty tricky for me. Not great with woodwork other than that Ok.

Any recommendations for other beginner friendly Fromme runs? Would like to hit Lower Expresso but not sure how to access trail head. Unless starting way up mtn. Thx in advance for any tips

Kirford and Griffin are good next steps. And keep at Floppy. Adding Lepperd and Crinkum to Kirford and Griffen makes a nice lap but is a touch more difficult than Bobsled.

Espresso has a few challenging bits but really isn't too hard so you could give that a whirl.

If you are determined to get to Lower Espresso then park on Braemar just west of Princess Park and go up the climb trail to BP. That will put you just west of the Lower Espresso trailhead. You can lap it a bunch of times as the climb is fairly nice.
