Rigs in Zen is claimed to be a black diamond on trailforks, but with so many double black features it might as well be one. It is also an extremely long trail compared with many other in the area. Is it my new favorite trail in Squamish? Click to find out. I was thoroughly entertained throughout the ride and challenged on many of the features, of which hit almost all of them successfully. Access to this trail is from the top of Debeck's Hill near Alice Lake, well past the entrance to Crouching Squirrel Hidden Monkey. It's a hard climb/hike but well worth it. Squamish is located in BC, Canada about a 50 minute drive from downtown Vancouver.

I have ridden past Hybrid more often than I can count to other more popular trails like Angry Midget and Half Nelson. So I finally decided to ride it and find out what this black trail is like. It also happens to be the trail that crosses the main climb access road...always wondered that too. Squamish is located in BC, Canada about a 50 minute drive from downtown Vancouver.

If you're ridden the North Shore you've likely ridden Expresso. And when you get to the end of it you can ride almost directly into Lower Expresso on your way to Pennzoil. These two blue flow trails have a few small table tops, rollers and berms to keep you entertained and Lower Expresso also has an optional huge rock roll. Mount Fromme is located in North Vancouver, BC, Canada about a 25 minute drive from downtown Vancouver.

Dirty Jane Too and Dirty Jane, which are connected by Plural of Nemesis, are by far the roughest trails I've ever ridden! Sharp pointy rocks and square edge hits are everywhere. These on a hardtail would be almost unrideable. Would I ride them again....probably not....unless I'm wanting to work on my flow. These trails are accessed by riding Crouching Squirrel Hidden Monkey or Rigs in Zen that both start by riding up the forest access road from Alice Lake. Squamish is located in BC, Canada about a 50 minute drive from downtown Vancouver.

Around the Rock in Squamish, BC is a short black mountain bike trail with several slabs following a super janky start to the trail.

Boney Elbows in Squamish, BC is located in an area I seldom bike, right near the start of Treasure Trail and just before Hueso.

In this video I celebrate a year of being on YouTube with a special video where I ride down Burnaby Mountain from the top to the bottom with my neighbour.

Kirkford is another black trail on Mount Fromme with fantastic flow, tight turns, and some woodwork of it's own, including a log ride. Mount Fromme is located in North Vancouver, BC, Canada about a 25 minute drive from downtown Vancouver.

Leppard on Mount Fromme in the North Shore is a great trail for those wanting to get more exposure to ladders and woodwork. The trail is quite pedally and better for an XC bike, but also makes for a great connection between 7th Secret and Crinkum-Crankum.

The Northridge Connector is the best way to get from Valleycliffe back to the Brennan Park Recreation Centre. It also happens to be mostly a hiking trail. The end of this video shows how to get there and what to expect going down it.

Spencer's Big Gay RIde is a mostly XC singletrack trail with some rock faces scattered throughout....some big, some short and steep.

Squamish is located in BC, Canada about a 50 minute drive from downtown Vancouver.

Fartherside is accessed via Farside both of which have a really long steep uphill. But near the middle of Fartherside you are rewarded with a fantastic blue flow trail that winds through the lush forest. At the end of Fartherside you have the option to head left back to Valleycliffe via the green S&M connector or right up some more blues in the area.

Today I bring you two shortish trails in Squamish located in the Valleycliffe/Crumpit Woods area in the southern part of the city.
