Ski Hill Skibabble

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.

I got a bit lost in the Rockcliffe Air Force Base area recently and ended up riding down this segment and found myself sort of in the middle of the on-ramp that goes from the Aviation Parkway to the Sir George-Etienne Cartier Parkway. I was out of time that day, but made it a point to return to ride up it.
