Chris had plans for a long big bike ride on Sunday, and I was supposed to finally sell the SM on the Sunday, so I ran up to Oliphant Saturday evening with Alex and Sean (one his brand brand new Husky 250 4T).
2021/07/03 – Quick Oliphant Run
2021/06/27 – Maid Lake revisited, Hell’s oven.
The dominating fact/feature of this ride was the heat… there was a heat dome over Western BC and it was HOT, 30s in the shade. Mid or high 30s in the clear cuts. The goal was to go for a swim, and Chris had a longish route that was hopefully going to stay in the trees and preferably north facing slopes.

Need a place to put some comments and a pile of pictures. So this fairing came to me on a DRZ-400-SM that someone had done a great job of kitting out for ADV riding. Motor was knocking and needed a rebuild, and my plan was/is to return it back to a stock SM and sell off the extra bits.

Cleaned up the track that leads up to to the dirt loop, and the nastiest bits of the single track that closes the dirt loop. More significantly we found and cleaned up the track that leads up to the tower on Mt Wood, so we’ve now got good transit through the area. Oh, and there’s a northern exit to the road, which then leads to the track up to the tower. Met Chris/Colin/Alex/Colin as we were leaving, ran them through parts of the updated torture test.
2021/05/02 – more oliphant work
Opened up a “dirt loop”, opened up a couple tracks that go down on the east side through the burn pile.
