New Bike Skills Park in Wolfville NS

A jump ramp under construction.

Now that the long, cold winter is finally receding into memory it's time to think about the exciting pastimes of summer. And, there's nothing like a little super-charged mountain biking to stoke your energy level and  burn off all those winter calories.

The Annapolis Valley has long been a 'go to' destination for the sport and now there's even more variety available for the mountain biking enthusiast. Thanks to TrailFlow Outdoor Adventures and the Town of Wolfville the Reservoir Park is the site of the area's newest skills park.

Up and over, Oh Yeah!

More ramps and jumps.

I paid a short visit to the construction site last week where I met TrailFlow's founders, Ryan Lindh and Michelle Marcinkiewicz. The two were working hard to finish off the jumps, boardwalks, and other obstacles that will make up the skills park.


Trailflow has been building trails in Wolfville's Reservoir Park for the last couple of summers. The first 'Race the Reservoir' event will be held in the park this July. Anyone interested in taking part in any of the six TrailFlow hosted races in 2014 could work on their mountain biking skills at the park.

A little teeter-totter action.

The race season will include xc olympic, xc eliminator, downhill, xc team relay, four cross and enduro formats. The Kentville 'Spring Shredfest' (May 30th) and Woodville's 'Enduro at the Links' will also include free guided rides open to riders of all skill levels.

In the meantime, tune-up your bike, don your helmet and armour, say goodbye to your Bobs or Bettys and hit the trails.
