Start at the top by the Science Wing of the University. It's just south down the road from the security office at the University Entrance. If you aren't sure where it is, just go up there by the entrance and wait a few minutes, a rider should come along heading that direction.

if u wanna ride gearjammer which is pretty grown over in the summer and is like a river in the winter, but is a nice fast flowey trail, the trail head is by where the new part of SFU is. u can also get to nicoles and upper snake this way

have a good ride :D

Gear Jammer like they are saying is pretty good, it takes like 5 minutes to ride though, if your looking for a longer ride i suggest nicholes. its kind of confusing to give you directions but look around where the other riders are going around the security place.

If you are new to biking hvae fun on burnaby but if you are not i suggest Seymour or Mt Fromme in North Van. Deffinetly check out whistler this summer too.

Cypress has improved a lot over the last few weeks.

It's now $24 for a day pass, and they open 10 to 6 on weekends.

There are a lot of trails open now, and they've opened their first black run (AFAIK) just last week.
