Nanaimo Trails



Another beautiful day in paradise. Why does anyone live anywhere else? A hot sunny day and I'm hitting the trails south of Brannen Lake, just outside of Nanaimo. A narrow paved road leads steeply up the mountainside and enters a forest. From there, a massive network of singletrack emanates from both sides. I try one of the first on the left and find an assortment of crazy built-up stunts which are mostly beyond my skill level, but fortunately they all have bypasses for wimps like me. Wow, somebody put a lot of work into this area.

Later I go further up the road and then dip down into some remote singletrack. I get lost for an hour or so and finally get spat out at the stunts area again. Phew. I like the compass function on my new bike computer!

Fav trails: S&M, Three Sisters, Styx, Mary Jane, Corona.
