TR3 Scouting Report

The crew that went to Fernie this weekend has this to say about the first 2 days of the TR3: (Thanks to Trevor for the scouting report and the Garmin info).



TR3 day1 scouting trip recap:
About 2km of road/cutblock (powerline) then a tough climb, steep, roots, switchbacks. Get in a good position along the first 2km as you'll be walking in a long line up most of the big climb. A sweet downhill, fairly smooth and flowing. The most comparable trail in Bragg would be to climb up Moose Packers, down Race of Spades (no TTFs).

Over to an area called Ridgemount which is great rolling single/doubletrack through forest with short sharp climbs, great flowing sections and some fun downhills. Over the highway and another sharp climb on new trail with a slightly steeper downhill then a roll out on gravel track back to town.

Unfortately, they are still building day 2 course but the first part is a long gravel road. The rumour is the downhill will be 'blue' standard (steep but not crazy). The last 35km is mostly dirt/gravel/paved road.

Garmin reports:
Friday (closest to actual, just add more in ridgemount area)http://connect.garmin.com/activity/38191550

Saturday (more in ridgemount but we dropped the section north of H3 due to fatigue!)http://connect.garmin.com/activity/38490481
