High Traction Trial in Brittania Beach May 16











Hello hello hello,

Well it's that time again, trial in Squamish, oops I mean Brittania that's right it's been moved to Brittania this year and it's a little earlier this time, hope for no rain.
This trial is getting a reputation for big walls and cool sections, some might even say "it's gnarly dude", Spencer Fitschen has been out for the last month or more, actually he's been working on this thing since last year, I know because was with him a few times last year when we cleared areas for a "trial one day" he said. Sure enough it's happening in Brittania. Very exciting!! Brittania is one of the original trials areas built over 20 years ago by different hardcore trials dudes such as: Andrew Dean, Andrew James, Spencer F. Glen Woloski, Mike Boothroid, I think a guy named Rick Ward and Mark Dendecker the legend himself, known to be one of the best in this area! Wish he would come out and ride. Maybe he's riding underground Chin style who knows.

There are two loops; 10 sections for the Beginners and Juniors, and 17 sections on a
longer loop for all other classes; there are even a few Champ lines.

Directions are as follows: North up Hwy 99 to Britannia Beach, turn right off the hwy at
Britannia (there is only one light) follow that road (Copper Drive) up to the top of the
hill past the trailer park then turn left when you come to Goat Ridge Dr. Follow to the
top and you will find us there. The whole drive from the highway is 3-4 minutes, please
be mindful of the posted speed limit (30 KMH), and if anyone needs provisions, there is
a well stocked store at the foot of the hill on the highway (including all types of
tasty beverages), and a great little fish and chip shop as well. Mtn Women it's called.

Should be some cool prizes for all categories.

So whether your riding in the comp or just out for a hike or casual ride to watch some sweet riding come on out and bring your camera, most sections are in the forest so prepare for low light. Some nice view points of Brittania Village and the ocean down below as well. Some key spots to check:
between section 6 and 7 amazing view point called stone rock, huge wall called awesome rock on section 9 and nice view as well between 14 and 15. To see awesome rock copy and paste this link www.vimeo.com/11390979

Hope to see you there.
