Hello...

Anyone here from Vancouver, BC (or near there)?

Was wondering, if anyone knows of any good trails that are easy/average for a newer rider. Just some nice places that are within a 1 hour drive of downtown. Something to do on a weekend morning...

Not looking for anything crazy (downhill / huge jumps, etc) or anything like that, just some nice ride to get outside etc.

Thanks!

You mean like a cross country trail?
UBC has some good trails... heck there are trails everywhere.
Give us a bit more info and I'm sure we can hook you up.

Try the Traboulay Poco Trail. it runs a ring around Poco so if you get tired you can take a short cut back to your car/home. The trail is mostly flat gravel road with some more technical trails to the sides of the main trail. there is a map on the city website.

Enjoy
