"No Horses" gets a makeover

The trail faeries have been hard at work over the last few weeks and have worked some magic on No Horses. All the braking bumps are gone, the last berm is now HUGE, and there is an amazing step-up in progress.

Here's a quick pic of an area of trail that used to cross the creek bed. It was slightly relined to line up with the new cedar bridge, and the turn after the bridge was re-worked as well. You can see the old line on the creek bed side of the new trail.

With a bit of tuning, the new "No Horses" will be a super fast rip with some amazing options.

Such a fun trail!

Nice work Doug!

Na, I can't take any credit for that. I just rode it the other day and was pretty impressed with what was being done to it.

mmm…Hornby

looks great!

It's been 4 years, need to get back to the sweetest single track I have ever experience

That looks like a great trail!

Yeah, I mean seriously, what's that brown stuff they have between the trees? :)

Where is it located? Looks good for the "Ripping Summer Tour".

Hornby Island. The ferry is from Vancouver Island, 40mins north of Nanaimo. Really fun flowy trails, nothing overly technical so its a great place for a variety of abilities.

Mic, next time you're in Canada, come to Vancouver Island. Tom P can show you Cumberland and Campbell River, thebigchin can show you Hornby Island, Lorien can show you Sooke, I can show you what's left of Hammerfest (if there is anything left by then) if you don't mind riding with an old guy. You'll need two weeks at least.

thebigchin, that was Jeremy [HTML_REMOVED] Ira that did No Horses? How is the wind damage this year? I usually go over in the spring for a rake up sticks tour. The boat costs so much that I can't get over as often as I'd like.

Our crew cleared 3 trees while we were there 3 weeks ago. Other than that the trails were mint.

The way things are looking, I think you need to spend about 2-3 months in BC to properly enjoy the goods. Otherwise, if you only have 2 weeks. Best to stay in one general area. Whistler/Pemberton can easily take up 2 weeks of riding.

The island can also easily take up two weeks of riding.

Vancouver and around can take longer. The interior (central, north, south) could take a month, maybe longer. Really, the choices are mind boggling.

I've been living here 8 years now, and still have to explore the island, the south and the north. Truely mind boggling how many awesome riding spots we have.

I haven't even ridden everything in the lower mainland… :S
