Ride Summary:
Fast and fun, some of Ontario's best riding.

Trail Description:
This is arguably some of the best intermediate-level riding in the region. The majority of the trials are moderately technical, but there are a few easier trails as well. Some fast, fun riding in the summer but can get a little murky in the wet months especially by the swamp. Check out the waterfalls and gorgeous scenery too.

How to get there:
From Toronto, take the QEW towards Niagara Falls. Take the 406 exit and turn right onto HWY 20. Turn right onto Effingham Road and follow it to Pelham Road. turn right again. You will see the park on your right.

First of all, you have to have pictures. Customers want to see what kind of work that your shop is claabpe of doing.Only emphasize the best of the best that you have. Our shop used a digital camera and printer to create a brochure for new brides. We then placed an ad in our local traders guide, newspaper, and radio station asking the bride to stop by the shop for a complimentary rose. We gave them the brochure and were able to have some 1 on 1 time with them.We also gave brides who participated in this way, a 5% discount on their wedding.Word of mouth is by far the best way to get wedding work .so do more than you are asked to do, price your wedding competitively and you will be busier than you ever thought might be possible.

i've only been there once but i loved every second of it. its a nice trial through a forest so theres lots of shade though there are open feilds to go throughbut they arn't too big. there are some nice little technical spots and some little steep uphill spots that are kind of chalenging if you dont really know what your doing.and a long not very steep hill at the end that is fun to go down but not up. over all its a nice fun easy trail to start on and will always be fun.

Very good intermediate, single-track riding. Linking in some of the blue trail loops with the moderately hilly terrain can make for a good 3-hr pedal. Needs at least a day after rain to dry out the clay soil.

Great trail for intermediate riders, had a blast, a little of everything, rough in some spots and don't be fooled by the name Short Hills.

Excellent place to learn to ride. The hills a are challenge and some of the single track is quite technical. Hardest climb is heartbreak hill(we call it) because if you don't get up the hill you have to walk your bike to the parking lot at the top of the hill...that bites

lots of horse $#!% on trails, some trails only for hikers - but they are great for riding, I think there's about 90km of trail if you can find it all.

you can link up these trails with twelve mile creek and get in a good 3-4 hour ride without any trouble.
