Trail John Deer
Trail is in good shape, a little dusty but fast and flowy
The rolls / drops combos are fun, I need a few more laps on this trail to fully appreciate it

Trail John Deer
A guy at the trailhead told me this trail was "easy, fun, and flowy." I actually found it quite challenging, with 2-3 steep areas and many, many roots. Not a black but definitely more challenging than something like Half Nelson. I loved it but my more beginner-intermediate gf was having trouble.

It’s either not a green climb or it’s in very bad shape. I went with a begginer able to clear all good sir martin climb, but had to walk this one.

Yeah, good climbing trail, although it's humbling when there are parts of this GREEN trail that I can't do clean. Oh well, I am kind of a beginner and definitely suck at climbing!

Perfect Warmup trail as it leads right back into the climb trail, a great evening lap would be corkscrew- Upper severed- severed- C buster- Asian Adonis- buster- Penny lane- Good sir martin, and then pingu-pangor.

Please make sure to ring the bell at the intersection of John Deer and Good Sir Martin. If you don't ring the bell your strava/trailforks ride will NOT record this trail. It's real important to ring the bell.

Trail Good Sir Martin
Challenging and enjoyable. The trail is pretty steep in some sections with tight switchbacks at steep grade with some rocks to traverse coming through the switchbacks. Physically and technically challenging. I find myself clipping rocks with my pedals and have yet to ride the whole thing without putting a foot down, but I’ll keep trying.

Accidentally went on this trail when I was actually trying to ride C-Buster. Pretty fun, more of a bench cut singletrack vibe vs john deer's bike park feel.

Land manager required that its listed rating match that of Severed. It was built to have an actual rating of blue (according to trail standards guidelines and consistency with other trails).

stringaling nailed it. It's an alternative to B-P which gets trashed in the wet. The entrance is awkward and janky for sure. Plan is to make it a little better but it got warm real quick and the bugs were coming

Coming back to c-buster is the whole point. An alternative to heading down Baden Powell after completing the lower section of Asian Adonis.

The entrance to the trail off of Asian Adonis is a bit awkard though.

I rode this the other week and was awfully disappointed that it was just a flat/climb back to the c buster intersection I had just passed a few minutes before! Might appeal to xc types just looking to lengthen their ride, I'll just turn down lower c buster

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.

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!

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.
