part one of 2 sections. Tzouhalem flow is the most singletrack climbing with the fastest enduro style single track of the whole week. Double D, Bumblebee flow highlights
Still and epic flavour as riders traverse coastal farmland and climb through magical arbutus forests on the way to the fastest downhill sections of the week.
part 2 of 2 sections is a "short" lap on Maple...full singletrack climb to top of Up[per Maple Syrup, then the local flavour riding Phloem, and Solar coaster to Loggers and out to the gravel road around Mt Richards to Crofton.
