Another quick ride up in the Shawnigan area. Touched on the ITSC area and ran north. Big event was dropping the bike on Kapoor, hitting the gearshift and popping the circlip, which resulted in the shift lever shaft not engaging with the shift drum. End of day for me. If I’d had X-ray vision, we […]

2019/11/24 – Oliphant with a bunch of DRZs.
Six in fact. Six DRZ’s, a DR-350 (the predecessor bike), and a WR-250R. Chris took us up to see a hang-glider launch site that most/many of us did not know about. That included a chunk of new ATV trail I hadn’t seen before. I tried to connect some of the old single track runs, but […]
2019/11/10 – (re)Scouting ride with Chris and Rob – West Sooke
Which means we’re back into the do not “over-share” area. No published route, etc. Sorry.
2019/11/09 – Oliphant with Trent from Wanduro
Trent posted in dualsportbc, looking for a Nanaimo guide. I took him up into the Oliphant area the next day, while he was heading from Victoria to Nanaimo. It wasn’t the longest ride, and the forecast was lousy. We lucked out and didn’t really get anything other than 110% humidity, but by the same token, […]

A return to Heather Mtn for some more sunset shots.

Moab – Day 2 (Chicken Corners / Kane Creek) First day of riding
2019/09/10->15 Elizabeth Mine — Another trip with James
I’d noticed a mine site off the Yalakom FSR when looking at the GPX track from the ride to the Loose Screw, and James was keen enough to go back and check it out. We also found some “new” track along Mission Ridge, and met up with Franky, Mladen and others at Laluwissin. The mine […]
2019/09/08 – JDF ridge, W100 (loop) with Chris and Colin
I really didn’t expect this to come out as a loop, but it did, with a short hike to a fantastic tea-hut. So, the surprise for me was that the W100 gate at Loss Creek was open. There are pix (on FB), and I have video. They should come in the future. Was a nice […]
2019/09/01 – Tansky with James U. and Dean
A good solid / long ride out at Tansky.
