As for the Fraser Lake Meet 'N' Greet dates, there are 2 preferred weekends in May, not accounting for weather at all. Avoiding Mother's Day and the Victoria Day weekends really leaves only May 1-2 and May 15-16. I'm thinking May is best to avoid summer holiday plans. Shoot me a PM or email with preference, and I will try to accommodate the weekend for our local regular group first as that was who more or less attended last year. Everyone out there is welcome of course. The plan again would be a Friday evening arrival, with exploration Sat and part of Sun, then head homeward.

I'd love to go. Last year's trip was well worth it... some exploring, some good eats, a few beers :hb:and a few lies told around a "real" fire! I will be heading to PG on the 16th then down to the LMD the next day for the start of my "roadie". Will have to catch you guys next time! Enjoy.

Sorry, I am out for this year. May is a crazy month for me and I can not commit to any overnighters. I will still be up for day trips though as they come available. Have fun at Fraser Lake :hb:

Glad you guys got out and did some exploring. Could you make it all the way through the Mitten?

I am going for a hard ride to the Tim Hortons tonight :clap:

Hey guys,

Wish this could be a ride report but still bikeless. But alas, I went up the extew fsr for some exploring and checked out the falls. The road is pretty good up there and would make for a good ride. First 3-4km are pretty lose (read freshly graded, with lots of loose boulders) and there are some recent road repairs from some not so favorable material, but all in all the road is pretty good as they are hauling out of there. I went to all three falls and the trip was pretty enjoyable.



Has anyone been to the end of the road on the west side of the river? I went a ways but it started to close in pretty good and the dog was getting anxious for a run so we turned around. (one nice deactivation up there to practice in, although it was passable in my truck so maybe not as bad as the ones hunter and2t went through)

Hey guys. First off I appologise for no pics.

Tonight sparklr and I got away for a nice evening rip up the Upper Kitimat FSR. What a great time, with me trying to show up sparklr on a baby deactivation after he stalled out in it. Well that ended up with me busting half a nut after the baby ditch and allowing the doc to have a break on it's side. Oh, if I only would have kept it rubber side down.

And now it is corona's and nachos in the hotel room.

Anyone up for a Terrace rip one evening, or even coffee one evening this week? I would love to meet the Terrace folk while I am here.

Thanks guys.

Oh ya sparklr, I turned to reserve at the 4 way in Terrace.

Wasn't a great evening for pics, but still a great ride! Managing to stay dry was an even better outcome. I can't believe I stalled it, not once but twice. The trip home from Onion Lake ski trails via the Weedene was awesome, only several snow patches to deal with. However it did end up being a high-beam event to make the passage. Nearer the Kitimat end some remedial work apparently has taken place eliminating all pot holes and the famous skid plate removal dip, conveniently substituted by a multi -stoned texture. Therefore that passage might seem less an option than say perhaps going the other direction or perhaps Whitebottom along the Skeena.

As discussed Wed/ Thurs are my best options as I definitely need to facilitate some remedial action for the last few days of adventure.

The weather network is showing Thurs as being sunny and clear, so let's plan for Thurs night to meet at the same spot and do some more exploring, for me anyways. I have a co-worker here that said that we can go from the onion to thw Whitebottom FSR. Is this doable?

I am ending at 430 every day and can be ready to ride at 5. Can you steal away a litte earlier and meet around 530 to extend our play time?

As for tonight and tomorrow, my offer still stands for a Terrace coffee. One night I am going to check out the red sands place that everyone is talking about.

Thanks guys.

Bchunter and Sparklr, I could be up for a run on Thursday evening. I have to be in Kitimat in the afternoon for work, and plan to use the bike. Sparklr, if you are up for it I could meet you aat 4 - 4:30 and ride to Onion lk. It would be fun to try for Whitebottom:clap:

Either way Bchunter, I could meet you at 5 'ish.

That sounds good to me Kermode. I will most likly get out of here at 5 so I can meet you at the Onion Lake turnoff around 515 to 530. If sparklr can not come out till later we can go for a little cruise and meet with him at what ever time works for him.

Tonight is beautiful. I am outta here :)

See you guys tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time out of your schedules to go for rips.

The best I can do so far is more than likely 6. I have to go into Terrace tomorrow AM and pick up the Wifi @ 5. I might be able to arrange something, but probably Kermode needs to email me with how I can contact him during the day. That way if I can squeak an earlier depart, we can meet at my house and ride the Wedeene to Onion and pick up bchunter and go from there.

Bchunter, I can meet you at the onion lake car park between 5:15 - 5:30. I have sent Mika a PM with my # if his plans change.

I will be away from my office and unable to review the forum from 11 am. Hopefully Mika will alert us to his plans to meet up later.

It is dry at the moment, with the threat of sunshine:D

I was going to join in with you guys, but now I'm totally confused???
Which end is "this end" ...Terrace, Kitimat or Onion Ski Trail?
If anyone is online - leave a quick note here. I'm ready to leave anytime...(by 4:30)
If all fails I'll be at Onion ~5:15-5:30
