If I had only know this was a true singletrack I would have bypassed this. On the TransCanada trail map it is classified as gravel trail. Not. This was a true mountain bike trail. Ended up pushing the bike on the majority of the uphill and a good portion of the downhill. It took me an hour and 10 minutes to do 5km. On pavement 5 km should take about 15 minutes. So much for the planning I did as to how far I could ride today. The only other people I meet on this section were hikers and mountain bikers. By far the most accurate information I was able to find was on the Trails BC website. (www.trailsbc.ca/tct). After I was done the trip I reread their website. Something I either failed to do pre trip or didn't understand. They describe the section as: "Is considered primarily to be a hiking-oriented route, though many sections are well suited to those on sturdy hybrid or mountain bikes. Those on touring bikes should consider a bypass to this whole area as outlined on our map, such as the Parkway Trail." Perhaps I thought I fell under the sturdy hybrid category.
