A group of us left from the loops last Friday and headed to Lillooet via the Thompson river to the Log Cabin in Spences Br. for food and a beer then up and over to Botanie valley to Lytton then along the Fraser to the end of day at the Mile O.
What you can't see in this pic. where we are waiting to regroup is that there is no countershaft bolt or washer on my Ktm, lucky for me that Reid is on the ride and carries spare parts for me.
along the grasslands down to the Thompson and on to Spences Bridge.
after stopping in on the odd occasion over the years this was the first time for lunch and the generous homemade cheeseburger was quite good and the pizza was huge!
at the dump out point of Botanie valley is Ken Glasgow's place where his imagination plays out in an oversized display of his thoughts.
that's one big hog!
rather than waiting for the ferry I crossed the pedestrian bridge in Lytton, and inadvertently got ahead of the pack (who for awhile waited for me, fools!)
this is the morning of day2, with all the mamby pamby woosies huddled together under cover for fear of melting. shaun and myself headed up the west pavilion fsr normally the most scenic road in BC though today you just had to imagine it as it rained all the way to the 95k mark where the China head FSR begins.
c'mon lightweights put on your waterproof gear and lets go! At the start of China Head we were completely soaked (with dry gloves waiting in a zip lock)
once onto the trip across to china head and mud lakes the weather cleared up and was a terrific ride with great traction.
though they didn't come across the top, the boys did manage to find rain on the trip to Braelorne.
the washing machine at the mines motel from an overflowing gutter 20' in the air. (which doesn't show up too well)
an hour after we all arrived the skies cleared and El Sol arrived to cheer us up.
didja have a good day Mur, yes yes I did! and the wine is pretty good too!
we happened to be at the pub on it's closing night and it would be a standing room only night (til veery late) and this little gaffer got the best seat in the house to catch the band.
that's it for day 1 and 2, the return trip to mud lakes and china head tomorrow, thx. fer lookin.
