Cross Country riding

Trail Network

Where ever you look in Whistler you will find some sort of trail that has beed forged out of the natural lay of the land to create some of the finest riding in the world.

The municipality (local council) invest a great deal of time and money into making the trails here to a fantastic standard. Wherever the signs of potential erosion show themselves, trail crews supported by the council and the local bike association (WORCA) head on out to create features that prevent any undue damage to the natural environment. Because of this investment in the trail network, erosion isn't a problem like back in the UK where badly constructed or poorly maintained trails cause damage that gives we bikers a bad name! Here.. bikers are a welcomed bunch!

The riding community is growing at an astonishing rate. Each week, over 200 riders turn up for the start of the WORCA race series. This is an XC race event for all comers, from kids to pro sponsored cyclists and everyone in between. The race (or ride) finished with a few beers and a good feed sponsored each week by a different bar, restaurant, deli or company in Whistler.
