Enjoyed some excellent road Trippin' north of Kamloops this week. Louise and I visited several riding communities (equestrian & Mt. bike) over the course of the trip, including Lac La Hache, 100 & 108 Mile House, Williams Lake and Kamloops. Along the way we met and rode with a large array of most excellent Cariboo residents and enjoyed amazing scenery! The pic's below tell the story;

100/108 Mile House, Williams Lake & Kamloops Empty Williams Lake ROADTRIP!!!

Post  Admin Sun Apr 28, 2013 11:20 pm

So the Flyin' Frenchman and I are talking about arranging a !!!ROADTRIP!!! to Williams Lake next month; May 18th to the 20th. The event we'll be checking out is the Williams Lake Peel Out;

http://ridethecariboo.ca/events/peelout

Williams Lake is the BC interior's most sophisticated mountain bike mecca - mostly because of the hard work of a dedicated group of riders / trail-builders, but also because these trail-faithful worked with city council in securing permission to build and maintain legal / sanctioned trail out the wazoo -- with properly built stunts galore!

We're keen to ride a bunch of the (MANY) trails that the place has to offer, meet local riders and have a hella' great time! Check out the Williams Lake trail network:

http://ridethecariboo.ca/trail-networks/williams-lake

Snakes & Ladders is a definite visit while we're there:

S&N Builder's Site: http://www.firstjourneytrails.com

I suggest that accommodations might be sought at the beauty' cabins that Louise and I stayed at last fall - though many options exist. You're looking at about $65.00 per person, per night, tax in', for your own room in a cozy cabin on the lake.

If you want "in" on this, its a "no copping out unless you have a family tragedy" kinda' thing, as otherwise you are messing with the other participants funding of the gig as a whole...

Who's interested in ROAD TRIPPIN'?

We got a call from the brother in law. They may be visiting that same time. I may not be able to go.

I think that its high time that you taught your brother in law to ride! Get him on a few DEMO bikes and next thing you know he'll be draining his bank account for bikes and parts, spending all of his free time in the mountains and drinking dark beer; you know... "Manning Up" :-)

100/108 Mile House, Williams Lake & Kamloops Empty Road Trip - Part II?

Post  Admin Mon Jul 29, 2013 3:34 am

I'm looking at a Road Trip to Williams Lake in late Sept., thinking about the 13th, 14th and 15th.

Riding will be blue / black diamond, mostly around W.L. area.  Accom' will be in modern cabins on the lake at $55.00 per night.

Scouted the area last year, its really nice and the locals have organized something fierce for trail-building / trail-signage.  Have all of the maps if anyone is interested in having a look-see at what they have to offer.

Bring canoe / kayaks if you are interested, do some BBQ, beer, soccer after rides?

Anyone interested?
