Downtown lakes, Gun lake rides ?

[offworlder]

Been through Goldbridge to Tyax, but thinking of exploring this area as there's fuel in Bralorne.
Anyone know more about the trails behind Bralorne, or just past Goldbridge in/around Downtown and Gun lake ?

Thanks.

Oops - make that Downton lake.

Last time i was in Bralorne there was no fuel. However there used to be in Goldbridge that was available like 9-5 Mon through sat. It is excellent country to explore.

Aparently theres a link behind Tyax lodge through mud lakes to the Chilcotin plateau I would love to ride, I have ridden my mountain bike up there a bit and a friend who really knows the area said there is a link. There is a post on this site somewhere I recently read describing the route.

There does indeed appear to be a way through via Mud lakes, but as "my source" stated, you'd need a reason to go through - ie: looking to head farther North, Clinton, Gang ranch, etc... Likely beyond a day's riding, so I'll poke about in/around Downton and Gun lake before considering a longer ride in the future.

Been there and done that. If you want to meet up I can show you pictures and the route we took

My wife and I are going to be doing a circle route through that area from our place in D'arcy, and we have confirmed with the owner of the Mineshaft Pub (Bralorne) that fuel is available from 11am to 11pm weekdays, and 8am to 1am weekends.

Here is their quote:

Gas is always available between 11 and 11 7 days a week and from 8 am until 1 am on weekends... We can always be reached in an emergency to provide gas
