TTFs on TrailBridge
It has a few steeper sections, and a very few low built erosion control features, but it is generally a smooth flowing dirt trail. At only 600m long it's all over pretty quickly, but this trail is a good little extra to be tacked on to another trail.
Access Info
Accessed after riding Gear Jammer. Ride up the double track road 200m after exiting Gear Jammer.

Found some gloves on Pipeline a ~100m from the junction of lower snake. Let me know if they're yours?

The hardest but most fun part of the Gearjammer route. Contains a few optional drops and plenty of wood features and berms. Super fun and probaly one of the best trails on Burnaby Mountain!

Lots of good corners that don't make it too easy for you while still giving you good support.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
