Although the name of the trails might not be that attractive, the riding certainly is. Some of the downhills are a little crazy & some of the steep climbs are torture on the legs & lungs but no one contemplated their existence. Short ride km-wise - 7 klicks but intense. Pat, Jason & yours truly - the original three who helped re-discover these lost trails. The entire Suicide Hill region of the Sandilands is quite a bit more significant with the steepness of the hills and surprisingly developed. Unfortunately, there is a bit more sand on the flat sections - thanks to trail erosion caused by ATVs & dirtbikes and some of the climbs are also rutted out. The singletrack is though in great condition for the most part.
Oh and on the drive back home we saw something like 7 rabbits hopping along the road and at least a dozen deer. Felt like we were some wacky animal safari.

WHAT? We all know that Manibush is as flat as... Well, there's nothing flatter so it's really hard to compare something to it.
You clearly have never been to where I ride - and yes you are correct most of Manitoba is flat but I can take you to hills that you would struggle to walk up never mind ride up with two wheels.
Perhaps I need to do some more video footage to prove it to you...but nothing beats the pain experience of lactic acid overload while powering your way up.
Excellent idea! I'd LOVE to see some video!
