Get a taste of the very best singletrack for which Squamish is renowned!

Today's route is an incredible combination of two legendary race courses: the famous Test of Metal and very fun Gear Jammer. By blending the two courses we were able to cover the entire valley!

You'll start and finish at the picturesque Brennan Park Rec Centre in Squamish.

A teaser of what's in store:

300-DS_BCBR10_6251Tracks from Hell and Bob MacIntosh Loop - after blasting through the singletrack and boardwalks of Tracks and passing the lakes, you'll rip around the Bob MacIntosh Loop.

Half Nelson, Psudeosuga One, Two, and Three - after "George's Crossing" (built thanks to combined effort between BCBR and Corsa Cycles), you'll hit the new pump-track-esque Half Nelson trail followed by the flowy Psudeosuga trails!

Seven Stiches and Powerhouse Plunge - these descents are Squamish Classics!
