Keegan will be hosting a trail day this Saturday, October 31st at Partridge hills! We will be working on the Joe’s berms reroute now that there is some moisture in the dirt.

We will be meeting at the Partridge hills parking lot at the top of Willis Point road at 8:45am and will be working until about 1pm.

Snacks, water, and tools will be available. You will need weather appropriate clothing and sturdy boots. We have gloves available but recommend bringing your own!

The trail fairies have been at it again 🧚🪏

Eleven well tuned, highly efficient trail volunteers showed up for the Bonus Sofa King Trail Day. With our upcoming trail restoration day coming up, we wanted to access a couple of primo digs before the access to them was restored. We buffed the step up, two berms, and the table top just above the soon-to-be new lower section. The soon-to-be new entrance to the lower section was also built up (and will be finished just before opening day!). Finally, we worked on a jump, berm, and shark fin on the soon-to-be lower section.

Who’s stoked on the Sofa King new Sofa King work 🙋

This loooooks funnnnnnn!

🎃🚵 ABOUT THE EVENT

This event is exactly what it sounds like; a timed race down Double D, with no chain. Your pumping, cornering and speed carrying abilities will be tested - and yes, you will be timed for the climb on Lower Double D. This event is family friendly and inclusive of all abilities. Cycle Therapy Bikes and Cowichan Cycles will be on site to help you get your chain off and back on. Once everyone is finished we will do podiums, have a BBQ, and announce the winners of the COSTUME CONTEST presented by Dirt Groms.

▶ You must be a member of CTSS in order to register. Registration can be found in the membership portal.
▶ You must register online prior to arrival. No on-site registrations.
▶ Please ensure your bike chain has a quick link prior to the event! Do not remove your chain prior to arrival as you'll need to pedal to the top.
▶ The entry fee is $25. All proceeds go towards the event and maintaining the trails.

The Hartland Horror show weather was absolutely hostile but nearly everyone showed up anyways. Tough crew! Costume participation was heavily influenced by waterproofing requirements but those who did dress up committed fully to the bit!

We’re stoked Max McCulloch from Nodding Onion was there to document it. More photos to come!!
