Here is the up-to-date status of this ride:
A recon ride up to Kookipi yesterday (June 6) revealed that the Kookipi route is impassable due to snow (see ride report at the end of this thread), so a major change of plans has been made.
At present there are two groups of riders going to Lillooet from different starting places. One group will be riding the sea to sky hwy to Mt Currie and proceeding to Lillooet via the Seton Hi-line route. This group will be meeting at the Church parking lot on the corner of Upper Levels Hwy and Taylor Way at 10:00am
The other group will be meeting in Boston Bar and proceeding to Lillooet via the Texas Creek route. This group will meet at the bridge at 11;00AM. The Boston Bar group will get to Lillooet in the early afternoon and will likely do some extra riding, to be determined upon arrival at Lillooet.
Due to the re-scheduling the fuel requirement has been reduced. You now need enough fuel to take you 160 km.
The Lytton ferry will be out of service from May 26 til the end of June.

Riders who have confirmed they will be going:Actually there are only 10 rooms and one was already gone so I took the remaining 9. I have negotiated a group rate under "Dualsport BC" which saves us about 15%. Std rate is $99 and I have carved a rate of $85/room for the group. This rate is the same regardless of whether you have single or double occupany. The block booking is being held until next Wednesday (April 21,2010). so if you are serious, call the hotel and book yourself a room. The number is 1-877-655-5506, the hotel is The Reynolds Hotel, and the room rate is above. Be sure to mention The group booking "Dualsport BC" or they will advise you that they are full for June 9th.
