Thank you so much for generously hosting and sharing your special place.
The location was ideal, the hospitality warm, the tracks terrific.
I very much enjoyed the company of yourselves and many other Dual sport members.

Thanks to all who had part in preparing and making this great event.
It was a great ride and the event was flawless.
Great planning and execution, I wish I had a good camera, but my iPhone pics didn't come out so good :-(
Now I have something to plan for next year.
Many many thanks.

My Thanks to:
Sponsors, Volunteers and Participants BUT a special hats off to Henry,Renee,Tanner,Quentin and "Rent-a-Kid". You guys all saved Orca this year and made the whole thing work. It was super of everybody to help out Kenny O and his family. Kindness goes a long way when your kid is fighting a battle with Leukemia. I'm looking forward to riding with you all again.

Jenn and I had such a blast this year! Huge thanks to the Jolly Roger Ranch for putting on a great event and to everyone for being the wonderful people that you all are

Maybe next year, we won't try to do twice the distance as the planned route

Special thanks to Renée for the first aid for my poor foot. One super cool lady... Who was also responsible for all the wonderful coffee at 6 in the morning.

Thanks to everyone for this fantastic event! Special thanks to Derek for his first aid treatment when I first got back to camp with my huge knee and to Renee who went above and beyond looking after all of us walking wounded

Here's a few of my favourite pictures:

Sunrise on the Orca

Overlooking Cowichan Valley

Trail to adventure

The Kinsol Trestle

The "easy" crossing of the tank trap. Simply ride over a berm, down that steep little hill, through the water.............

and up the other side.

Wild Deer Lake - the coffee/gas/lunch stop organized by the Jolly Roger Ranch. :clap:

Coming down from Seymour Ridge

Back at camp after an amazing day!

I can hardly wait for next year!

It was a great weekend. Thank you all for coming and I'm happy everyone had a good time.

A big thank you to my fellow crew for their help, Henry and Renee for their hospitality and the use of their little paradise, Henry for all the help with the trails, and Timberwest for absolutely nothing

I hope all the bumps, bruises and crunches heal quickly.
