The XC at the Keppoch is not ready, lots of work to do. Some of the trails we have you could ride on a bike with 130mm of travel. You need to be a BNS member or a member of an affliated bike club, so make sure. There is other areas around here that are good for XC. Beaver Mtn Park, Sugarloaf (Antigonish) as well as others. Some are on private land so check with locals first. If you want to talk to someone here about XC trails email me at jeffteasdale@hotmail.com and I'll connect you with some folks. Jeff

Schedule permitting I'm keen to take a look out that way and ride bikes on sat :)
If all is good I'd probably bring my wife as well, what are the trails like? how many trails are there? Is it beginnerish friendly? She's good at technical stuff but hasn't logged any flight hrs yet...

A couple of things..
Yes you can shuttle ride both Sat and Sun.
We have five DH style trails, intermediate and expert I'd say. Two of them, Roller and Chicken Cougar, most folks can make there way down those without too many problems. There is also great single track minutes away at Beaver Mountain Park for anyone wanting to do some XC riding. Essenmeinstuff, you guys can come and check them out and see what you think. Jeff
Scooter, that's the whole idea, come and spend the weekend and ride. See you then, Jeff

Hey Folks..
We are going to host a shuttle ride day Sat Oct 9th and a race on Sun Oct 10th. If you were here in June you know it is going to be a good time! Get the word out there, the stronger interest from us (riders) means the more support from the community here. Pretty simple, we can make this thing grow if folks show up! We had the IMBA here and worked on some XC trails as well as went over our DH. We are planning on adding Sugarloaf style groomed trails (berms, table tops) in the near future! There will be free camping and washrooms on site. I know alot of folks want to ride so here it is. Same as before, get signed up with a club or have a BNS/ velo NB membership.
See you in Wentworth on the 25th.
Keppoch Jeff
