    Cable Bay Adventure Park

Pedal for your Unicorn Moderate climbing trail with a few switchbacks which require a wee bit of front wheel finesse.
Don't forget to take the odd smoko on the way up and enjoy stunning views over Cable Bay and Pepin Island.
Once on top you have to make a hard choice. Drop down into CCR and enjoy the goodness of flowy berms mixed with techy off-camber sections.
Or you chose to roll into Missing Link and conquer technical chutes and rocky turns on Jurrasic. ( you don't wanna miss out pn that special terrain.
You have to make a choice now...
