I've been up to Burke a couple of times (Triple Crown both times) and it's fun. I'm wondering what Vic's and Bean/Nescafe are like compared to TC? How do they compare difficulty-wise?

triple is easyer than vics but i havent rode bean /nescafe yet

That's the problem with cities, they're refuges for the weak, the fish that didn't evolve.

I don't want to google this - sounds like a thing that NSMB will be better at.

Triple Crown is probably easier than them; Bean and Lower Vic's are a bit harder but if you're finding TC ok then you should be able to make your way down them. Vic's (the upper part) is steep tight switchbacks and quite eroded, which makes it pretty tricky. It's also pretty short. Nescafe is also much more technical at the beginning, then it mellows out some.

I'd recommend doing Bean-Lower Vic's first time you try riding that side of the mountain. That'll give you an idea of what things are like

I was dirtbiking up there a couple days ago and just when we get down to the gate the park ranger pulls up. aparently you can get fined for dirtbiking up there now. luckly my dad talked him out of giving us a fine but that is the last time i dirtbike up there.
just a warning if anyone else is going to go dirtbiking up there he said if we had been higher up and cought us there would have been no way out of the fine

it would be pretty easy to get away from someone while you're up the mountain on a dirt bike

ya but our van w./ trailer was the only car at the bottum, so all he would have to do is wait for you to come down
