    Carolin Mines

    Drove past the EXIT last weekend and saw the gate was open. On the way back, we stopped to verify and sure enough...the gate IS open. Met a couple of guys there and asked if it was ungated all the way to the mine...guy said yes, but still full of snow, they had ridden up there on their sleds a...

    Ashcroft/Kamloops Area - Barnes Lake to Wallachin

    For some reason, I can't upload a .gpx file. It's a short ride...maybe 1 km...but it can be a very muddy ride. The downhill portion to Wallachin is quite rough, but if I can make it, I'm sure you can. Another option, depending on where you want to go, is to continue past Pennie Lake and follow...

    Ashcroft/Kamloops Area - Barnes Lake to Wallachin

    You're in luck...we did that section last year. From Barnes Lake to Pennie Lake is not too bad although, as mentioned...it can get REALLY greasy. The section from the small pond that is called "Separating Lake" on Google Earth, over to the Wallachin side can have DEEP snow until June....and once...

    KVR Information

    Here are links to GPX and KMZ files for the currently completed sections of KVR. To determine which are NON-MOTORIZED, you may have to refer to the blog...and/or local bylaws...things change and I may not be aware of these changes. I'd appreciate if people would let me know of any sections that...

    KVR Information

    OK...I don't know how that happened... Here is the correct link: https://kvradventures.blogspot.com/ I can't seem to edit my post...perhaps an Admin could remove the Craigslist link and replace it with this one....Thanks!

    KVR Information

    A bit of shameless self-promotion here....Admins can move this if it's in the wrong section, or whatever. I have a work-in-progress here: https://kvradventures.blogspot.com/ that others can use for information, directions or other intel. Although it is not complete at this time, I hope to...

    KVR Motorized sections.

    I was asked to post this, so here it is. The usual disclaimers apply...I cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information, etc....this has been gathered over the past two or three years, so some of it may not be applicable anymore...blah, blah, blah. From Kingsvale to Brodie is multi-use...

    Kane Valley

    Anybody been in that area lately? I'm talking about the road that runs from Kingsvale to the 97C. Last year in September, the road was in awful shape....even the Caretaker for the campsites mentioned how bad it had been for most of the summer. Just wondering what to expect... Thanks.

    Road up McGuire?

    More like 30...and some are pretty abrupt! That's an understatement!!! Took a couple of wrong turns....drove under three trees that were dangling across the road, but that wasn't the right spur. Eventually I found it and it is crazy how they just melted the two roads together...all of a...

    Road up McGuire?

    I remember hearing something (a while back) but don't remember WHO said it...something about a NEW road going up Mt McGuire... Would be welcome, as the two existing roads are crap. Borden Creek FSR goes as far as the washed out bridge at 6km, and the rock-face just past this, slid onto the road...

    Tamihi IPP

    Took a drive up Tamihi today...looking to see what sort of damage this new IPP is creating. Found none. On the other hand, what I did find was a NEW road that goes 13 km in, complete with repaired bridges and washouts...even followed Parish hill for about a km or so. But never saw any evidence...

    Upper French mine and Apex

    Video of our ride over the past weekend...Weather didn't co-operate, so we had to do it in two parts. Still some snow along the Nickleplate road, near the Nordic center. https://youtu.be/VQwN-sSXmCE

    First time.

    It finally happened today...my first impact with an inattentive cager. Dumbass kid with the backwards hat and soul patch on his chin, wasn't paying attention and turned into traffic, just as I was about to turn in front of him. I had the right-of-way...but he supposedly didn't see me. I...

    Cabin Lake via Murray Lake road

    ...has anyone done this? Is it even do-able? Big bike friendly?
