Its been a little while since I posted up some more adventure rides. This one I really liked a lot. Lots of great scenery (McLaughlin ridge has great views). A number of technical challenges: creek crossings, mud holes, logs, rough roads, bushwhacking - but I managed them all on my loaded...

Anyone know of where exactly the Natural Bridge on Naniamo Lakes Main km 26 is? I went up and down the road a couple of times and cound not find a thing. I am guessing its the Nanaimo river, not one of the feeders. thanks

I am doing a backroad ride from Cowichan -> Port Alberni -> Bamfield -> Cowichan this Sat/Sun Aug 31/Sep 1. Camp in Bamfield ($23). Gas up in PA and Bamfield. Weather forecast is good for Sat/Sun. It "should" be 650 friendly, although there might be some technical stuff getting from Nitimat...

I am looking to come from the island a do some kind of a Lillooet-Hope loop - 3/4 days. As much dirt as possible. I'll be riding my DR650 with bags, I can handle lots of B stuff. Any suggestions of old roads or nice spots to visit? I am thinking of going up the Harrison West FSR to the 99...

Anyone know if the elk river main (north west side of upper campbell lake) is gated, ditched or blocked at the crest creek end nearer to gold river? It looks like it would be a fun DS way to get from campbell river to to gold river - rather than all pavement. The wife and I went across the...

Next weekend - July 6/7 a couple of us are going to visit the Flora Lake and the Mt Buldoc plane crash sites. It'll be an overnight trip, camping rough somewhere along the way. The Flora Lake Plane crash requires a little bit of a nasty hike through slash, the major part of the Buldoc crash is...

Is there any kind of road open between NitNat and Gordon River along the Caycuse river and then the Hinne River? I am wanting to do a little overnight loop from Lake Cowichan to the Flora Lake plane crash and then around to Mt Buldoc plane crash then back to Cowichan lake. I'd hate to have to...

My wifey *just* started dirt biking. She never ridden a bike before, but after a few sessions has the basics down. We are coming up to Campbell River this weekend and I am looking for a mellow, flat looging road or fire road ride that we can go on. Perhaps with a lake as a destination (since...

I am going to do a Sunday logging road/Fire road ride from Boyds past the reservoirs up to San Juan Ridge. Perhaps dropping down to the San Juan river. Most will be logging road or deactivated road. There will be some short sections that will be considered B+ (ATV tracks, a little by of slash...
