As a newbie, what should I definitely not miss within weekend striking distance from Vancouver?

[bernk]

Hi everyone. I'm so new to riding motorbikes that I'm doing my road test this Wednesday. I just came back from my first multi-day ride up the Sunshine Coast, over to the Island around Horne Lake, and then to Bamfield and back. I'm completely hooked.

What are some rides I should definitely checked out that are within a day or two from Vancouver? I'd really like to poke around the Duffey, as that's my winter stomping ground. And Squamish seems obvious, but I don't know any specific areas there. I've been up the Squamish valley a fair bit, and up the Mamquam. Are there any beginner friendly trails around? Any sweet destinations to moto camp?

Thanks!

Squamish has plenty of fun offshoots of the main Mamquam FSR. Easy well established roads with nice views. If longer distances is yer thing, the Hurley pass to Bralorne/Goldbridge is also easy and scenic. Squamish River Valley is also a goldmine.
