Tiddlywinks Mountain Biking Trail

At the end of the parking lot find the Tiddlywinks Trailhead. Begin along this trail as it descends slightly then enters a flat, lightly forested meadow. This is the XC portion of the trail. Soon you will reach a junction with a yellow “Y” on it. There are many of these on the trail, and all they mean is that you have two options on how to proceed. Usually they also will have stickers on them identifying the respective difficulties of your two options. Don’t worry, they all meet up at the same place!

After getting all warmed up from the meadows you will start a climb. Though short, this unexpected climb can really catch people off guard, as most people proceeding along the trail are expecting a downhill romp. Finally, you will reach a signposted junction. Turn left here to continue along Tiddlywinks Trail. Now the trail will start to really go downhill!

After passing through a short section of some rather dull forest you will enter the wide open “berm city”. Pop your bike in the highest cog and fly down the smooth berms and tabletop jumps. If you don’t want to jump, don’t worry as none of these jumps are mandatory.

Approximately four-fifths down Tiddlywinks Trail you will reach a junction with Larsen’s turning off to the right. Keep left here to finish off Tiddlywinks. A short while down you will reach another junction, this one much larger. Turn right here to continue along Storm King, a moderate cross-country style downhill ride. Do not turn left along Storm King! That’s what we did once and crossed the highway accidentally. This trail does not cross the highway.

Storm King undulates up and down through mostly flowy riding. After another few miles you will reach another junction. Here you will turn left to continue along Catch and Release all the way back to the Welcome Centre. This trail crosses the road several times, so watch out for cars.
