Explore the Coquihalla

[dualsportbandit]

Looking to explore the Coquihalla (Murray Lake and area) on Saturday, Aug.8.2020.

- 650cc Class (or can cruise at 110-120kph on highway).
- pavement to the riding area, gravel, inclines, declines, loose, rocky, two-track or anything in between.
- bring water and a lunch.
- average to intermediate riders who don't mind a challenge
- 1st Rally Point will be at the 264th & Hwy.1 COOP fuel station.

i am looking to Not ride alone, so if there's at least one other person who wants to ride for 6-8hrs (round-trip) on Saturday, please reply here or DM me.

thx.

What time you thinking of starting? I have never done the Whipsaw (or any of the Coquihalla on a bike).

Prolly leave 264th around 0800 (negotiable).

its gonna be a day of exploring with the gps.

nothing too hardcore or specific, with a chance for exploring new two-tracks and whatever we find.

if you are comfortable with some basic inclines/declines, possibly some technical stuff, and two track, then you are good to go.

look up Murray Lake near Larson hill on google maps - should be a fun explore day for those of you who are past the Newb stage of riding.

lemme know.

Damn... If the Border wasn't closed I'd make that run up from the states... Be safe! BM

Hey the track from Coq over to Boston bar is on trailforks (free app) a little exploring with a loop back via highway #1 via Boston bar would be a nice 650cc class ride.

Bike's in the shop, so a no-go for me. Did you get your carb sorted?

when calmer heads prevail, that is.

yeah, that's a great loop.
i've been chomping at the bit for awhile now to explore more up toward west side of the Larson Hill-Toll Booth corridor.
it would be nice to get on loop in before season end, at some point, tho.

a confident rider on a 1200 could probably do the exploring on Saturday, to be honest. I'm not looking for an olympic workout or anything hehe. i'm going for the scenery, exploration, and some new challenges, for sure!
