A long ride, almost all singletrack. Redtop up and down, Caldera, Eddie J, lower Mongoose, KC, Techno Grind, Full Monte, Milky Way, Green Door, Rogers, Cemetery, Happy Valley, through Rossland, Drakes Doukhobor, Tamarack, SMD(A), up Doukhobor, Tamarac, Whiskey on the Rocks.

"Trails in Route" section can be a little confusing since the ride touches small sections of a number of trails. Also goes both ways on the same trail at different points in the ride, but these show as just one trail entry.

trail	date	description
Full Monte	Aug 28, 2026 @ 11:25am (America/Vancouver) Aug 28, 2026	A huge thank you to whoever reset the puzzle that is for Monty. Running great much appreciated.
Doukhobor Draw	Aug 25, 2026 @ 8:11pm (America/Vancouver) Aug 25, 2026	Couple of medium trees across trail. One you can ride under, the other requires a dismount and duck under.
Cemetery (upper)	Aug 23, 2026 @ 7:05pm (America/Vancouver) Aug 23, 2026	Tree down between Roger’s intersection and Happy Valley
Green Door (lower)	Aug 19, 2026 @ 12:53pm (America/Vancouver) Aug 19, 2026	Couple of medium trees down across trail, can ride under both. Good hand saw would do the trick. 1 is above the bridge that's before the climb, the other one is on the descent to Warfield.
Whiskey	Aug 12, 2026 @ 7:34pm (America/Vancouver) Aug 12, 2026	Tree down before the gap jump on lower Whiskey, covers 2/3 of the trail, and is low to the ground. Can snag a left foot/pedal
