Would probably just take the road up instead. After the Baden Powell and especially after the power line trail it is almost impossible unless you are a very good climber.

Rode a section of this today for the first time. Climbed GSM and wanted to get to Forever After, so we took Baden Powell. BP to Severed D was pretty fun. More black than blue, in my opinion. From Severed towards Forever it got even steeper and more treacherous. You've been warned!

A bit stiff, but also the fastest ride to the top of corkscrew or CBC, IMO. Good Sir Martin is more twisty and detours out of the way, and straight up Buck cuts off a loop on Mtn. Highway. GSM is good for the second lap, since you are already over near Academy, etc.

We should really adopt the New Zealand trail grading system in Canada. It bridges the gap nicely between between 'hard blue's' and 'easy black's'. Windrock Bike Park, TN. Adopted the NZ grading system in the past year as well. It makes sense. Here's what it would look like:

NZ Trail Grading System:

Grade 1 - White (Easiest)
Grade 2 - Green (Easy)
Grade 3 - Blue (Intermediate)
Grade 4 - Dark Blue (Advanced)
Grade 5 - Black (Expert)
Grade 6 - Double Black (Extreme)
Grade 7 - Pro Line (Extremely Dangerous)

This is very challenging for a blue trail. It’s steep in sections and full of rock berms and rock gardens. Lots of fun for an intermediate rider!

Garbage found on the trail by the last steep wood roll. Remember to take it all out with you and not leave it for the next rider.

Ridiculously good fun, well-maintained trail. Starting with a couple of banked turns, you’re thrown into fast rolling trail with a couple of small drops. Suitable for newbies (like me) and I’m sure would still be fun for experienced riders.

Do yourself a favor and just ride Corkscrew unless you ride here all the time and are bored of that. This rides like an old creek bed thats been jammed up by logs

I'm new to the shore, but this trail was so hard for a blue. Even compared to some other blues in the area.

You're not the only one who thinks that. Last summer, there was a piece of tape on the entrance sign, right under the word "Harder", that said "...than any other blue trail". Call it navy blue.

Much more fun in the wet than in the dry. Water turns the rim-deep marbles into a much firmer trail bed. Give Ned's a rip on a rainy day.

Trail TNT / Cabin

Been revisiting all the old school janky trails and rode TNT again for the first time in a few years. Nice work by Andrew Teit and his crew of builders especially with the light touch - leaving a lot of the old lines in play yet taking care of the worse of the steep chunder. Tip of the hat

Or the nice jump at the end over the barriers....but Metro is all about liability so they removed all of it.

Trail Penny Lane

Possibly my favourite section of the Seymour climb. The corners are open enough that you can get some good uphill flow going. And it takes you right to the rowdy part of Severed, perfect for tacking a little bit more onto the end of a ride.

I saw 2 guys climbing this trail on a busy Sunday morning. Climbing this trail, especially at busy times, is very dangerous. People coming down are going fast and don't expect climbers.

Phenomenal climbing trail. Thanks for all the beautiful work Martin and Penny. Rode GSM for the first time today and enjoyed every inch of it. It's so great to be able to loop back to Baden without having to head over to Old Buck or Hyannis. Awesome. I'll definitely be heading up to ride some Seymour loops more often. Thanks again!

Trail Good Sir Martin

My son and I rode Good Sir this morning which allowed us to do a couple of laps up there which doesn't happen often for us. The trail meanders beautifully through pristine forest and feels like it's been there forever - a testament to the fantastic engineering and careful planning that went into this right down to the precise fern transplanting! "Isn't this awesome!" was echoed by many of the other excited riders we encountered along the trail today. Congratulations Martin and Penny and to all the other volunteers! Good Sir Martin will be one of the most enjoyed trails on the north shore.

Trail Baden Powell (Bikeable)

This section gps'ed on Seymour is mostly all rideable. The section from "Old Buck" to the Powerlines was upgraded last winter for an easier climb and is used a lot.

The descent portion from the powerlines to the "BP to Powerline Connector" was upgraded for the BC Bike Race. The trail after this point is not rideable, it gets very steep with steps. Once it hits "Bridle Path" its rideable again.

I personally have not had a flat, but I've been riding with others who have gotten a flat probably 10 times! if you like to run your tires low PSI, I suggest taking it slow and easy.

most trails on shore are technical rocky trails that are slower steeper or more dificult, which is fun! But Neds is fun because its also fast.

This is a good low elevation winter track, that's about it. Otherwise, boring pedal with only a few fun moves.

It’s awesome they’re doing work on the lower part of the trail but sharp rocks aren’t ment to be used for lips on jumps. There’s gaps being built in stupid spots that make no sense. I hope this isn’t costing nsmba money

I feel like it’s a bit overrated compared to other Seymour trails, it has few features, and is kinda slow paced. I try to avoid it, but I only do it to get access to some good loamers.
