In the Central Experimental Farm just off McCooeye Lane, is this little climb that you can pretty much try to rip up anytime, because there's never really anyone on it and there are no obstacle's to navigate.

Is "Naskapi Ridge Park really a park, or is it 100 backyards? I don't know but it's fun as hell to ride and the drop down Ski Hill Park is a fast, straight shot, well, down an old ski hill I guess.

Listen to "I wish" by Skee-Lo and see if you can hear him say skip-skibabble. Then the segment name will make sense (Ski + Skibabble, clever yo?). In fact that song may have been on the charts when Frankenbike was new, so this delves super deep in terms of meaningful connections.

This doesn't look so hard on paper, with a net elevation decrease of -0.5% gradient, but I have yet to make it the entire way up the climb without unclipping and walking at least 1/3 of the hill at the end.....check out the map to find the secret valley from the Land Before Time.

Location: North-south between Carling and Byron

There's a corridor of green space that starts just a little northeast of the Carling Executive Park and runs north-south, or vice versa, between Carling and Byron. This segment covers a good portion of that.

I include it in an hour long loop I do some days after work. You can see that here, which will help identify where you can pick up the trail: https://veloviewer.com/routes/2836265595361473230

Although not a destination in of itself, this backyard bonanza is a handy connector that takes you from the hydro roads that run along Walkley, as well as the Alta Vista green-space corridor and gets you to Hawthorne, which is relatively close to the trail heads of a number of the Pine Grove Greenbelt trails. I often cut through the industrial park via Belgreen to get to Ramsayville Road at Russell Road to pick up the trail there, as per this route (although I rode this in reverse): https://www.strava.com/routes/2834134702407759590
