I will be in Vernon for the weekend and am looking for a guided tour of your trails.

Is anybody heading out for a ride on Saturday??:D

Not too many trails I have seen are open around here. You could try Noble Canyon on the way to Lumby just outside of Lavington but it may be pretty snow-packed. Not too sure where else to suggest.

What days are you going to be there? If you want, we can see how far up King Edward road we can make it. You might get the new 690 a bit dirty though. :cool:

or we can take a nice leisurly trip on Commanage road and have coffee in Winfield:cf2:

I think King Eddy might have snow after the first or second switchback. I had snow in my backyard until 2 days ago and I live near the king eddy turn-off. Just don't be disappointed if you go there. I might try to go check it out for you on Wednesday after work if you'd like, let me know.

Are you guys going up King Eddy? I went up from the Oyama side on Wednesday and the road was snowy before the lookout so I imagine it's deeper up high. Worth a try though.

I may try to join you, if not tomorrow definitely soon. Ciao.

I also went for a ride today. I was going to see if I could get all the way through on Beaver Lake, Dee Lake to Lavington.
It was going ok by the time I hit Dee Lake

We had a great ride! It started off a little rainy and then got a whole lot more exciting. I got to see Ribeyes new bike. That thing is sweet.

First thing we had to do is find some mud. We headed up King Edward Lake road.


510322595_uo23E-M.jpg


I was following the pack at this point and I will tell you, those guys were moving! I don't know how they drove so fast through that mud.


510322533_GEzSh-M.jpg



Then we ran out of mud!
Me , being kind of the leader :ted: said
"don't worry, I know exactly where we are, The main road is just around the corner"

It wasn't

Nate got this bright idea that he could 'push" Ribeyes bike with a rope, but the rope was too flimsy!


510322405_bzLCv-M.jpg


"it's not the rope that is the problem" Nate says "It is the bike" "Let me see if I can push the Suzuki with the rope"


510322156_brGx2-M.jpg


Rope was still too flimsy.


510322218_xo2jN-M.jpg


Nate finally got fed up with Ribeyes flimsy rope and started to take his bike and walk home. :shock:

Nate did get home and in spite of the flimsy rope. we all had a great ride.

Just for the record....You CAN get from King Edward Lake to Winfield. :D

Nate fell over in the snow and we couldn't get it going again. The battery was weak so we are hoping that a new battery will solve the problem. He has a kickstart on the bike, but because of the after market centre stand, the kickstart is useless.
Ribeye had a rope and it was mostly downhill right into winfield so we tried the towing idea. It worked well.
