Whistler lists this as their "epic" ride, and they compare it to the likes of Porcupine rim at Moab. I did the 24km ride today starting at the Wedge creek entrance, about a 12 km ride from the village. The jaunt is impressive, but in my opinion, it is not as much a ride as a technical challenge with rock faces, ladders, and unless you are hans rey, some areas that need to be hiked. I did not find it as physically demanding as it was technically demanding. Unless you want to hike your bike, turn off at young lust and get the hell out of dodge! I will search for realistic xc riding. Be careful about asking the so called local people. It's a pre olympic year and my sense is that there are quite a few wannabees that will direct to a ride that they themselves have not done. I'm heading to the hot tub.
