The Cowichan Trail Stewardship Society opened their first official and legal trail on Maple Mountain.  What a great day for a ride on some beautiful fresh trail...

I joined up with Seamus Mcgrath for the ride, we managed to stop a few times, not an easy task on such a fun trail.

Nice little rest stop about 2/3rds of the way down, water and energy balls were helpful, this trail is not all downhill.
