Best place in town to mountain bike. Parking is available at the park nearby and down the street on the right hand side of the shadduck. Mountain bikers can ride to the end of the pavement on shadduck and stay left (right is private driveway) and ride uphill till you arrive at a wooden barrier. From there you should see a Cancourse sign and the world is your oyster.
