Tri-Cities 2014 Trail Conditions (PoMo, Coq, PoCo) (Merged)

We have all joined TORCA recently.
I can't find anything on the forum…but maybe I'm not reading it properly, is there a "secret" section I'm not aware of?

PS - What's an enduro?

theres a trail map section on the torca homepage. not to be confused with the discussion forum.

Indeed there is, but most of the links are dead. And certainly they are to older maps.

When I noted the forum, I meant the "discussion board": http://torca.ca/phpBB/index.php

There is a section on Trail Building, but you need to be signed on to participate.

PS - What's an enduro?

A bike specifically designed with astute care and attention to enable a mountain bicyclist to be able to go BOTH uphill and downhill with aplomb. Good times indeed.

So I know the interwebs communication can come across poorly in many ways, so I'm going to chock this up to me mis reading your responses.

Do I detect a reluctance to give up details on where to ride on Eagle Ridge? Am I missing something?

Trail peaks used to have a great trails section for Eagle Mtn, but it's under construction at the moment, so it's leaving me having to ask for advice…

Just looking for some friendly "park here", maybe "try this trail, look for this" sort of advice…

just zoom in on google maps. it'll lead the way.

Yup… you are misreading my response.

I googled and searched for a couple maps and posted the links for you. They are older, but remain a great starting point to explore Eagle.

I typically park on Panorama at Stoneridge and climb up the gaslines. This is shown on the Gutsploder Map.

There are other trails not shown on these maps, but if you explore trails like Manhandler, Massage Therapist, Mossom, and Dentist, you will criss-cross these trails, allowing you to explore them while also knowing where you are.

So, no ill intention. I think the maps are great for a first orientation. There are other folks here on the forum that know more than I do and may have mapped these for themselves, but I've found them exactly the way I'm saying to you. I think some of the trails may be appearing on the trails part of google as well, but I'm on my phone right now. Good luck!

Didn't make it up to Eagle Ridge yet - And now I'm in Romania for the week…
However, made it up Burke before leaving and man…the trails, even with all the rain were in good shape…We went all the way up the far spur to Six? and Slayer…Six was fantastic fun..great work on the drops and jumps whoever has built those up….trails were a bit slick, but for the rain we've had recently they were great…so much fun!
Can't wait to get up there again soon.

Evening ride on Burke. Didn't get there until 6:45. Man Burke is getting busy these days. Lots of people out enjoying trails in fine conditions.

Did a great loop with the kids. Parked at Switchback, rode up the road to the gate, then up to Upper Dawg and then Hustler. Then back up the road and then to Last Run/Garbage down to gate, then quick rip down road to Conifer Road and into Hustler one more time to finish.

What goes down has to first go up:

Nothing like a young Berminatrix:

Playing the game of concentration but with real consequences:

Mom being demonstrative without telling them to clean up after themselves:

Not the usual 3 wheel sizes:

Up to Eagle tonight with the boy while the girl has soccer practice.

That's awesome.

Short lap on Eagle last night was the girl was at soccer. Climbed up Nimby and then hit Blue Line. First time for both for the boy. I'd have bought him a beer if I could have. Instead, I bought him a Slurpee and had myself 2 beers.

My buddy's first ride in a couple years, so the pace was perfect.

Where abots is blue line if i may ask?

Blue Line is easy to find. When you get to the top of Imby at the powerlines, turn right for about 250m and it'll be on your right, back down the mountain. If coming up the gas right of way, turn left under the powerlines and climb about 500m or so until you see the ski road coming from the power tower to your right. It'll be on your left.

Not a long trail, but nicely built with enough challenges to keep everyone satisfied.

WH - I get a kick out of your posts and photos. Great use of these threads. Keep 'em coming.

Nice! I took my 9 yr old up to Overtime, then Dawg and Hustler. After a few tries in the past, he's finally got it and was stoked. Only had to get off his bike twice, the entire ride.
