Hey...I was looking to cross referents my rear sprocket and stumbled on this thread...when are you guys planning this ride? We are putting on two H/S in the next month so it will be pretty busy for me, but it might fit in.

On the 27th of this month. Hope to have lots of riders.

how far is this from whistler? I'll be there from oregon ariving on friday the 26th, maybe I should bring a bike with me. any idea if I need anything to get my dirt bike in and out of canada? bruce

Well, MapQuest estimates +5hours/420km from Whistler to Kelowna (via Pemberton, Lillooet, Lyyton, Spences Bridge, Merritt, and then the Connector [97C]). That's a helluva a drive for a ride! And there shouldn't be any hassles getting a bike into Canada. Unfortunatley, it sounds like the ride is imploding anyways. Perhaps the timing isn't great for everyone. There's a riding clinic at Bear Creek that same Saturday, and there's an enduro in Naramata (near Penticton) on the Sunday, so things are busy.

As I said earlier, regardless, my brother and I will be riding/exploring around my home in Summerland that weekend. So if you just have to have your 2 wheel fix, you could ride down here.

Regards.

Les and I are "out" as well. I am too busy with work and too many chores around the house to do before the rains set in...

sounds like a lot of fun but after driving from oregon the day before, it sounds like quite a ways to go. so I think I'll explore areas closer to whistler. do you know of good riding in that area? anyone local to there that rides?
