Newfoundland Final Chapter






Many days of riding and traveling create many photo's and many stories, but eventually we have to close that chapter and move on.

For our final days in Newfoundland we did a group ride in Pasadena with about 10 peeps and on the last day we headed back to the National Park and UNESCO site, Gros Morne . Here in Gros Morne the parks people in their infinite wisdom have opened one of their trails to mountain biking; Stuckless Pond is a beautiful loop, with amazing views. We followed that up with another quick ride to a 3 story sink hole just around the corner.

It was only last year that Gros Morne opened this route up to Mountain Biking, what does it mean to have a National Park open it's doors to mountain biking...? We will be following up with the parks people in Newfoundland to get a bit more info on their rationale and perhaps track down this precident setting stance, is this a pilot project hmmmm or the face of a new parks policy?
