Yeah, a classroom here at the East Kootenay end of the Redding Creek Pass, filled to bursting with students who just returned from riding to Crawford Bay for brunch and then back. The world of GPS for riding has gotten as wide as what is considered dualsport riding and dualsport motorcycles...

I not only play GIS/GPS professional on the internet; I do it professionally (and dualsporting) in real life after retiring from the CAF (not the CAF of today, thank you God for small mercies). A few things: Backroads Mapbooks (I've done contract work for them regarding their maps) has...

I tried coming over Redding Creek Pass (the name it had even before I first went over it in the mid 1960's until the Region's offices were moved to Nelson a couple of decades ago and it magically became Gray Creek Pass for the tenth of the trip that runs along that creek) about ten days ago...

Have time; have bike; have itch. I've pretty much beat the South Country and St Marys/Perry Creek to death so far this year. Am hoping to get in a Quinn/Wildhorse loop in the next few days if anyone is interested. Also planning on some overnighters if possible, up in the Albert River/Settlers...

First ride of the year here, complete with maps and tracks (just a little more friendly for ride reports, embedding GPS data and geocoded pics and such) http://wr250rforum.forumotion.com/t4618-doin-the-rocky-mountain-trench-lake-tour-may-2011#45730 And just a teaser...

One thing that can greatly help with planning an adventure tour - be it for just a long day through some memorable country, an overnight out and back, or a full fledged multi-day ride - is being able to download the tracks and routes provided by others who have done the ride before. Some of...

Many of us with WR250Rs find the stock seat gets uncomfortable on long and multiday rides. Seat Concepts have just started making Dual Sport seats, and most who have tried them all say they're at least every bit as good as a Corbin or Renazco. Their seats for the WR250R have been...

So with a topic ongoing about budget decisions causing road closures in the West Kootenays, I figured I had better ask about road closures in the East Kootenays in the Cranbrook & Invermere Forest Districts. Called MoF in Cranbrook to ask about it. None of the engineers were in, but I did talk...

I was out for a ride last Tuesday when the big time storm cells were ripping through the Cranbrook - Elko area. It provided two things: First, a chance to really put my Tourmaster Transitions jacket to the test. I had so much water pouring off my goggles that I could barely see and had to just...
