Every year I ride something new that just blows my mind.

Only in week one of this years holiday, and have just arrived back at the T2R lodge, following an evening adventure involving Khyber Passs into Babylon by Bike finishing with Tunnel Vision in the dark, before rolling into Dusty's Creekside for some food and beer.
Khyber involves riding a mix of steep rocky techy section, with flat out fast loamy singletrack inbetween that just begs you to ride as fast as you dare, while Babylon is a bit more slow and techy, with a rock slab that involves a rope for lowering bodies/bikes safely, before some flowy woodwork with some drops.
Tunnel Vision was just flowy fun, with some woodwork that we rode in the dark, as hard as we could!

Never done Khyber..... how did you get to the start?  I nearly did it last year but after the hike up from Freight Train we went down Ride Don't Slide instead 

You heading to Squamish or Pemberton?  I would recommend it, get Stig or Sean to guide you for extra 'fun'.

Also hunt out 'Hey Bud' on Blackcomb, you can do a 'lap' from the lodge in ~ 1 hr, it's a beaut of a trail.

If you want something mentally steep, try 'Trespasser' which starts just round the corner up hill from the Container step up on Freight Train.

Push some, then push some more!
It took 3 of us 40 minutes of pushing, and passed the entrance to Ride Don't Slide around the 20 minute mark.

There's been some discussion about another adventure tomorrow...

Have you managed to blag a go of the AM before getting packed up for Interbike?

[mc]

No!

All the demo bikes were getting packed up when I arrived
