would love to but i work on sundays.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Thanks to Ewan, Heckler, Lee and Jake for filling in some C-buster mud holes!

We got about 3/4 of the section done. If anyone wants to fix the rest before we get to it at our convenience then be our guest!

Does anyone know why they are gravel paving Baden Powell east of Old Buck all the way to teh road? Rather disappointing, that section was in fine shape and really nice to ride in it's natural state, either direction.

I was going to say probably because it's a hiking trail, but according to BC Parks, it's multi use.

BC parks trail report: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/mt_seymour/trail_report.pdf

They'll probably do an update one day and mention BP.

erm, perhaps it's because the trail has become a creek? They may be going a little far with the smoothness but I'll take it over the creek bed any day. For me it's an access trail so soon I'll be able to spend more time on the bike trails and less climbing a creek bed.

Fun, but dangerous to rip on and a high likelyhood of you hitting a dog or a hiker. I also liked ripping on it, but appreciate the new direction much better.

I hope people realize that the Baden Powell is a multiuse trail and mountain bikers should be riding in a way that allows them to yield to other users. I appreciate the work BC Parks is doing for the users of Seymour.

on another note, more C-buster dumbing down.

filled and drained before the bridge over the swamp.

I rode Severed for the first time in probably 12 years, nice work up top where it really sucked and sliding over to the new gold on C buster/applicator was awesome! There are still a couple of lame old school hard 90 turns that could be rerouted, just sayin.

In the new golded section at the bottom of C-B? just trying to keep the masses happy. Impossible task, I know.

Yo Sven, obviously the flow killers on Severed! Stop and look, you can chop straight through or build a couple of massive sweet berms for smashing. hehe

Funny, I can't think of any on severed, but we debated about straightening the left/right original line on lower CB and decided not to in order to honour the original intent.
