Review: Hard packed snow trail that runs beside the ice skating path during the winter months. It's a fun trail and being down on the river seem to block the wind some of the time. I used it frequently as part of my commute from St.B to downtown. It's a neat perspective being down on river. There were a few places you could enter the trail in 2010/2011: The Forks docks, river path across from the St.Boniface Cathedral, rowing club on Churchhill drive, rowing club on Lyndale drive and another spot farther up Lyndale drive. I rated the difficulty as easiest based on the width and grade, but often water from the skate paths over flows so they are plenty of patches of shiny treacherous ice, I run studded tires so they aren't a huge problem but be careful.
Review: Im sure that many people have heard of drifting.... gettin sideways and controling the turn with acceleration and steering, but have you seen it done on bikes? Its fun on the ice trail at the Forks. Gotta be spining the donuts again and watching for them secutity...lol
Similar Trail: for drifting... anything your front tire can stick to and your rear can't.
