Fromme Update
First Ever Machine Built Bike Trail Begins on Fromme!
Owen Thomas, head trail builder of the DNV crew, begins to sculpt the new Bobsled!
Bobsled on Fromme has been closed as the new line has begun to be built. Work began this Thursday as the DNV Work crew broke ground. With an average grade of 10%, it is going to be a trail for beginners, with enough flow and bermage for advanced riders to enjoy as well. Estimated time of completion is end of August. It is a monumental time in the history of Fromme as the DNV ushers in a new era. As the plan to create a trail system for the community moves forward, this is the beginning of great things to come. Comparable in principle to Half Nelson in Squamish, it is a project that will be another positive step forward for the community and also creates tourism opportunities by creating a trail for all levels of rider.
Wade Simmons, NSMBA Trail Ambassador & Owen Thomas, head DNV trailbuilder, discuss berms, flow and trails for all!

Bridle Path Renewal Project Final Report
The NSMBA is happy to report that the Bridle Path Renewal project has been completed. The project has been a resounding success and has directly addressed the interests of outdoor enthusiasts from across the Metro Vancouver region. The Bridle Path was originally used by horses to traverse the lower slope of Mt. Seymour and later on logging companies used parts of the trail. It is one of the most popular trails on the North Shore for dog walkers, hikers, trail runners and mountain bikers. The original trail was built without regard for long-term sustainability or the management of large numbers of trail users from diverse user groups. As such the trail has suffered from erosion and devegetation caused by the combination of heavy traffic and unsustainable trail alignment.
