Haven't got any rain gear, think I'll still ride to Tim Horton's and see from there. Watch for a dr650 with a guy that looks like he just went for a swim

Hey Newf, you can get cheap rain gear at Canadian Tire. I bought a vinyl/fabric full suit there a couple of years ago for $20. It's still in good condition and is totally waterproof. I got caught in a torrential downpour on the freeway for about 1/2 an hour and not a drop got through. Highly recommend it. Make sure you get the vinyl with a fabric backing, if it doesn't have a fabric backing it won't last.

I have a rain suite plus some semi waterproof gear that I think I will test out on how water proof it really is. It is supposed to rain 2mm today but we've past that here I am sure. I will be leaving soon for Tim's.

Hi, I think I'll do that today, thx. I made it about 5 miles up the road, and I was soaked through and through. Just couldnt do it today. Hope I can catch up with you next time.

Quick Ride in the Rain

Quick Ride in the Rain

So I did a fast ride :f: to the Buntzen Lake lookout and back. Visibility was not good as it was really raining up on the mtn!! However traction was amazing, hero dirt for sure! :clap:

I was on the gas thinking nobody will be out but sure enough I met three groups out walking in the rain. I had no problem slowing down before passing them.

Today route:

I am new to riding in the area even though we moved to coquitlam 2 yrs ago. I've ridden McNutt and Vedder so far and like that. But its hard to beat riding up to Eagle and having a fun scoot in the evening.

I will be heading up on Sunday night and meeting at the gates at the top of Johnston around 8 or so. I ride a 2007 FE550 and hope to meet up some one for a quick ride up the mountain.

Cheers

Tomorrow I am off to Green Lake near 70 Mile House, then Duffy, then Harrison Hot Springs for the Aug. long weekend. A few days at home then a work trip to Castlegar followed by the Loose Screw in the 'loops. The next few weeks are looking good but not too much time for local riding.

Sorry if I missed anyone last night; my rear tire was flat so I only got up there around nine thirty or so...

I went up to the old micro wave towers site and the view was great, especially in the dark.
