Attention Fat Bikers! The SCC is organizing a weekly winter maintenance session Wednesdays at South Canoe to prep the trails for some Fat Biking.
Meet up at the South Canoe parking lot every Wednesday at 6pm. You’ll want some snowshoes, and bring a headlamp, some loppers, a handsaw, and warm clothes.
Fat Bike Season is here! Read up on our best practices before heading out.
To celebrate our partnership agreement with Rec Sites and Trails BC, and in general a fantastic season at our favourite spot, the SCC is hosting a day at Rubberhead next Sunday, September 30.
We will start with a few hours of voly work from 10-12, followed by burgers and chili by donation, then some shuttle laps in the afternoon.
Meet at the Rubberhead parking lot on the FSR #110 at 9:30.
Looking forward to a great day on the trails!
Every Other Monday Rubberhead Voly Nights are on a temporary hold. However plans are in the works for some more opportunities on the weekends. So thanks to all who have come out this summer and stay tuned.
A big thank you to the volunteers who showed up to the (every other) Monday Trail Night at Rubberhead. The crew worked on Freefallin’, giving it some much needed love.
Next Trail Night will be Monday April 30th. Meet at the 2.5km parking on the 110 fsr at 6pm.
The Shuswap Cycling Club in association with Skookum Cycle and Ski will be hosting trail nights on the Rubberhead trail system. These will run every other Monday starting April 16th. We will be meeting at the 2.5km parking lot on the 110 FSR at 6pm.
We will be focusing on opening the trails for the spring. Hand pruning and raking trails as well as tread repairs as needed. Some tools will be provided, but please bring any tools you have. Only people who have Basic Chainsaw Operators Training will be able to operate a chainsaw during these nights.
Thanks to all the volunteers that have helped put Double D together, and for all the other recent work on Rubberhead!
Double D is nearly complete. Only a few meters are left untread, and there a couple of places to tidy up.
Meet this Saturday, June 17th, to finish it off! 9am at the Rubberhead Parking Lot. Bring your gloves, water, and a bit of food.
Double D is already running great, connecting from the lower Climb Trail to provide a fun alternative to pedaling the road. The climbs have some challenging technical sections, tight switch-backs, and also some lengthy traverses and quick downs so you don’t burn out. Earn your turns!
After Double D, do a quick bike push up part of Rubberhead Middle, then traverse over to the 110 via Upper Rubberhead. From there it is a zoom up the road to get to Ravine. Watch for logging activity, but the upside is the road is in great shape right […]
Due to uncertain road conditions on Hwy 1, we have decided to cancel Sunday’s volunteer day at Rubberhead. Stay tuned for details on our next event, scheduled for the weekend of June 3-4.
A sizable crew is needed to fix some drainage issues on the south canoe trails. Skookum is organizing a work party so please consider helping out there instead.
