Tri-hill-ogy (Mountain Biking Part 6)

Might as well submit one final mountain biking post - a good training ride.

Called the Tri-hill-ogy. Climbs three good hills (get it). Total elevation gain around 2,000ft (combined). Total length between 6-7 miles. Time around 1.5 hours. Start at Betty Knox parking lot - ride to the top of Lambie Rocks hill, descend back down to the intersection and climb to the top of Rob's Knobs hill, descend back down and follow the main Game Lands road between the 'Knobs' and 'Lost Crag' to the top of the long hill - descend back down to the parking lot. If you want a real workout, descend back to the 'Betty Knox' parking lot after each (did it probably five times - pretty tough). Would like to try it totin' the cart and some sandbags - didn't have it back then - glad I'm now too old for that.

The map:


The 'Lambie Rock' route is approximated - didn't plug in the co-ordinates - can't miss it though - is an obvious intersection just past the 'Rob's Knobs' trail - follow to the left.
