Careful on Upper Maple Syrup
This is a great route which uses all of Xylem to the summit of Maple Mountain. Although rated as 'blue' the initial down on Upper Maple Syrup is 'black' in a few sections. Intermediate riders may dismount once or twice. Bypasses Lower Maple Syrup to access Lower Story Trails and Phloem for a much less strenuous ride to the parking lot. A go to ride and possibly the route for 2020 BCBR on Maple.
