Thanks for the vid! Now I see the line I should be taking on the climb ;)

Funny timing on your post as I just rode Bottletop yesterday for the first time since….yikes, I think I only rode it once this summer, at the Toonie. So wow, was I surprised!! What a change! When did that re-route happen??? It was great, as is all the new work on the trail.

Now if only 'they' could do something about the greasy exit…. :P Just kidding! But seriously, thanks NSRide and Different (and really, the whole TAP program) the revitalization of Seymour trails of amazing. I'm personally stoked on Bottletop as it's a great option to add into my winter XC rides from the LV side.

The Re-Route was built over the past month, planning was done before-hand. The volunteers put alot of hard work in (as you can see), more awesomeness to come…..

:D

Huge thanks to NSRide, Different Bikes, NSMBA TAP;
and of course, The Volunteers!

Looks awesome, but I rode Bottletop last weekend and didn't see any evidence of this reroute. Can't wait to ride it now! When was it officially opened up to traffic?

Ride, don't slide.
