Looking for some good local trails around oshawa/whitby ideally. Ive found some good stuff in oshawa including a dirt jump course (which i bailed hard at last night lol). Would be nice to ride with some new people too and rip some stuff.

This is me and the kind of stuff im looking for!

if you have a car durham forest has some good trails, my favourite i think is called 3 rocks. you go up lakeridge road and turn left on concession 9 (last set of lights before dagmar) and then turn right on sideline 4 drive a ways there's a parkinglot on the left and a good set of trails. also check out http://durhammountainbiking.ca/trails/

I would love to get into it, but I don't have the money to invest in a semi solid bike. Or for gas to get to said spots.

I live in Scarborough ahahaha, that would be pretty far. The closest one I could think of is a half an hour car ride away.

I concur with this place, I ran it a few times over the course of the summer, would be pretty amazing on a bike by the look of it.

The durham forest is also pretty large and there's numerous sort of interconnected trail systens. Another one worth checking out is at St. Johns Sideroad and Warden. It's the point where Warden is abruptly stopped by a piece of the Durham trail system.

Maaaaan. so sick in durham forest. we ended up at skyloft due to an error/epic sidetrail and ended up going to the top, chilled on the chairlift, then ripped down one of the runs...SOOOOO GOOD

Definitely going back. i could ride in there for weeks!
