Too Long Days June 6-7, 2020

Twisted, sorry pal but, give up on your dreams, expect rain and end up with a story to tell.

Hi Russ,
What is the official itinerary of this trip?
Is there an official staging area for Saturday morning? Then we set out with our group following Day 1 .gpx and ride to the campsite that has bunks, mattresses, showers, pool. Saturday dinner and beer and Sunday breakfast and lunch are provided. Sunday we set out again with our group to the finish and then go our seperate ways?

Seth,

You have the intended part right but there is no staging area or time. Each group should set there own time and place to depart. If you are not grouped up yet read through the comments and message someone or post up. I would offer to ride with you but I cant ride right now ?

Yes and the pool is solar heated, many hectares in size and has live Rainbow Trout.

Been checking weather hourly, looking like only showers, I can live with that

Hi all, Looking to join a group. I just realized we aren't meeting up before riding to match the last few people up. I'm on a drz400, 25, and an intermediate rider.
Let me know if you've got room for one more!

I have a request in with a 4wdbc admin and thinking I will have my daughter take me out to the pass in her jeep tomorrow

 

[Rustic]

Does anyone have a range of less than 250km? If your range is less than 250 with your main and a small container please message me.

 

[04klr]

I'm sure Seth will fit our group, or we'll splinter into two smaller.

This is part of the conversation .PLEASE NOTE meeting point is Chevron in Hope
This is my Ph #604-250-4021 Text me if you decide to come , I might not look at the Forum tomorrow night .

Better choice in Harrison is Husky Gas Station, last fill up before Boston Bar.
I will be packing my 4 litre Rotopax as insurance to make it from BB to Peachland.
My suggestion for meeting times....meet and greet and then kick stands up within 15 mins

Harrison Lake if doing East Road
the Husky at 9am
or
in Hope
the Chevron at 9:45
arrive
Boston Bar Esso about 11:15-11:30 am

We all should have cell service near the meeting points.
Do we want to set a 15-20-30 min waiting time window we should keep open for unexpected delays and if someone is going to exceed it to text group?

Steve.

Thank you both. I've texted Enrico. I'll aim to be at the Chevron for 9:30 tomorrow. And I'm definitley up for adding Koopiki pass. I should get ~220-280km range with my tank + 5L +1L extensions.
