The Coal Disco trail work is now finished. There now is 9 kms of uninterrupted single track including 3 new bridges. Materials, steel stringers and cedar decking were flown in by Bighorn Helicopters 2 weeks ago.

This section of trail will be used on day 1 of the 2010 Transrockies. This is 100% classic x-county riding.

From Fernie start on the Old Stumpy Trail and take a right at the yellow coal discovery trail sign. Keep following the yellow signs most junctions are marked. About 6 km out there the new section takes off to the right ( this junction is not signed yet, if you miss it and you hit the powerline, turn around and back track a couple hundred meters ) The new single track ends on the Ridgemont road 9km from town. Check it out!

For anyone who has attempted to cross the Fairy Creek Bridge heading out to ride Swine Flu and the other Procter mountain trails, or to get to Dicken Road and the Chamber of Commerce. You know that it is a death trap. No raised sidewalk, and oncoming traffic coming around a blind corner.

Many residents who live out Dicken Road way, especially those with children, have been writing to government encouraging them to build a pedestrian crossing on the westbound side of this bridge.

This has fallen on deaf ears.

The families have even went as far as building their own makeshift underpass to try to create a safe option for crossing this bridge.

Write to - Kareen.Peters@gov.bc.ca and cityhall@fernie.ca and ask them to build a bridge for pedestrians before someone gets hurt!
