Trail Bubble Wrap
I have to disagree with the last review. This is a great trail. Sure, it starts with a lot of traversing and a handful of very tricky uphill bits, but it's worth it for the views and the downhill payoff. The last half of the trail is a sustained, fun and pretty technical downhill.
Not every trail needs to be a flowy sea of golden dirt. It's not about "modern trail standards", just sounds like personal preference to me.

Trail Northridge
Upper Northridge trail there is a cedar tree very low to the ground, it hangs over the trail. if you are looking down at the trail and have a helmet on with visor, you can miss this and do a proper head injury to yourself.
I would say it is about 6 feet above the trail.

Trail Bubble Wrap
Happy New Year! Had a great ride on Bubble Wrap today, trail is mostly clear still a bit of snow at top but very ride-able. Cleared a lot of Arbutus branches but there is a large tree down across the trail towards the end.
