I'll be camping up at little qualicum this weekend. Anyone interested in hitting the single track at Melrose/Whiskey Creek? It should be pretty quiet with most of the riders down at Boyd's pit for the hare scramble.

The VMC calendar shows the Equalizer Enduro - this Sunday May 5th. No poster though on location or details. Anyone have any more info? Anyone going?

Hey gang, I want to put together an informal ride/camp that will go from Sooke to Cowichan to Shawnigan - the hard way. For sometime in July, when the ridge snow clears 100%. This would *not* be a KLR/big bike friendly ride (unless you are a hot shot). It would use as much B type hare scramble...

Hey guys, I am going to come up to your territory this summer for a week. I'll probably get out for a few rides on my plated 350 excf. I have ridden Kamloops (Inks, Chewells) and Kelowna (Bear Ck) - and I hear great things about Vernon. I like to ride B+ hare scramble single track stuff...

I have met a few of you who have made mesh goggles. I have decided to get off my ass and make a pair. So I went and picked up a mesh face shield from ythe local yeard supply place. The mesh isn't super rigid so I am not sure if its the right stuff or not. Where did you get yours? Also -...

Going south on the Malahat, 2km north from goldstream (Right at the 2KM park sign), there is a dirt road going to the right. Ever been up it? Go anywhere interesting? 48.493018,-123.555293

Hey all, a couple of us might head up this weekend for some riding at Whiskey Creek. Any snow up there? thanks!

Hi guys, I was out at boyds today, opening up some overgrown trails. I got a few questions: (1) I was primarily using my loppers to clear away broom, alder, brambles and other pokey stuff. Would a machete work better for this? Can you recommend a good brand? (2) I have a Cdn Tire pruning...

The new price of the Stihl 192 is $350 and the 201 is $700. Does a guy *really* need to have to 201? or will the 192 work OK? This will *only* be used for the occasional trail clearing work. up to 8" windfall, etc. Anything bigger and I will call in someone who knows how to cut trees. I...

Hey guys, I am selling my Beta 4T trials bike and a guy in Edmonton is interested in it. Has anyone shipped a bike off island? What shipper did you use? I called Dave, but he is in Mexico (lucky bugger). Kenco doesn't ship bikes. Here is the ad if anyone is interested...

A buddy and I will be hitting the single track at Whiskey Creek on Sunday Dec 9. We'll run last week's race course and give a go at the roller coaster, maybe the "valley of doom" too. This is all B/B++ hare scramble type single track. Expect mud, wet roots, big puddles, good hills and huge...

For those who aren't up riding with the aliens, we're riding Boyds this Saturday Nov 4th at 9:30. Single track fun. Mellow pace. We'll progress from the easy single track up to the harder depending on the group. No plates required. Bring your woods bike. Here's some info on boyds...

If anyone wants to hit some muddy single track in the Shawnigan/Duncan area (mtn road) on Sunday, send me a PM. Relaxed pace, but will be technical - B/B+ hare scramble type stuff. No plate needed. Send me a PM for details.

Here is the B/B+ ride Cam and I did last weekend. Out past Sooke, starts at Anderson, up to Tugwell Lake. Then onto Butler and around down East Main to Alligator, finally exiting through Boyd's pit. With a license plate, ride back on the West Coast road to Anderson. Without a plate you can...

Island timberland just posted that their Shawnigan gates will be open this weekend! So if you aren't at the race have fun in the woods! http://blog.islandtimberlands.com/

Surfing the web for various things, I came across this map from the CRD. http://www.crd.bc.ca/parks/documents/jdf_san_juan_ridge_kludahk.pdf It shows a map with the Muir Creek Area hilighted as a "potential" regional park. Looks like it just misses Boyds riding area. But it encompasses the...

Going to be up in Campbell River for a few days. Any nice backwoods destinations? Lakes, mountains, waterfalls, interesting things. I'll have my plated KTM 350 so I can go most anywhere. "B" sections no problem. Also any nice trials single track riding in the area? Be nice to get on the...

Here is a loop for the hardier crowd. Lots of very rough double track, five creek crossings, multiple ATV tracks. Best to do this on a smaller woods bike with good tires. The tough guys can take their 650s...
