We have been doing a lot of talking at team Grizzly lately about the Lost Bear dual sport ride.
What we have come up with so far is that the ride will be in the Cultas lake area like the group ride we did last year on Sept 11.
I can guarantee that we will have a great B loop with some A options. We still haven't decided if we will have a C loop yet but I think it will be easy enough to put on a easy C loop. I will admit that the B and A loops will be our priority but if we do have a C loop I will lay it out with my R1100gs to make sure it is truly a C loop.
We were talking about doing an A rider only ride but I got out voted on this one. Just in case you heard any rumors about a really tough ride that only experts on 450s and under could ride. (I started this rumor myself so I know it's out there.) For this year that won't be the case.
I will be posting details when I have them. Plan for a great ride in the local Fraser Valley mountains and you won't be disappointed. Rocke

Okhere is the deal.
Saturday sept 10th
A fun FREE ride in the local mountains just to get everyone out for the day.
STARTat Cultas Lake. We will meet at the Road that goes up to Vedder mountain. this is the S bend BEFORE you get to Cultas lake. The road makes a right and goes down hill when it turns back left you go straight onto the dirt road. If you hit the gas station you went to far. You can park there. We don't have permission from the pub to park there this year so I don't want to take it for granted. We will meet at 9:00am!!!!!!!
We will do a loop around Vedder then head over church mountain towards chipmunk. We will do a loop over Mount Thurston and head out on the bench road. We have some A options available but all the by-passes are B level.
This is a guided ride so no roll chart holders are needed. We can break up into 3 groups so we don't all have to ride together.
No we don't have a c loop. If some one wants to guide a "c" group around feel free to arrange it. We would class this ride as a "B" ride that won't be KLR friendly.( sorry KLR guys it's not personal.)
I will start a list of who is comming so let us know.
Oh yeah we will have dinner at the pub when we are done the ride so plan for that.

You better clarify where this is at because at the start of the thread, it says Harrison. I've had a phone call from one person who still thought that's where it's at.:hr:
Sounds like organized chaos. I may not go.

I can't change malachi's post!! He asked a question and I answered it. IT WILL START AT VEDDER mountain which is next to Cultas lake. I Have started a new thread in the "this weeks rides section" that says where the start is also. We have ridden the route already this year and we are going to pre ride it on Friday also. I don't know what else I can do. I hope you come Bill it will be a fun ride. Rocke

We will have a gas stop after the first 30 or so km. Then we will do the rest of the ride. I think the b loop is about 150 or so km. What are you riding?? Stock drz400's made the ride last year with plenty of gas to spare. Even Andy's xr650 made the trip without running out of gas. (to Ted's dismay)Rocke.

I ride a KTM 400 LC4. Most of my rides are in the 50 km range so I have never tested full range of my tank. I have a 11 litre tank and may consider strapping on a 1 galllon spare onto the back. I have a small rack that I built just for stuff like this. Brad
